If it is possible to find a positive in dropping yet more points, Rangers fans can just about clutch to the performance of Florian Kamberi to get them through the next few days.
The on-loan Hibs forward replaced Andy Halliday at half-time and made an instant impact to the Gers attack adding pace, power and precision to almost single handedly drag his side from 1-0 down to 2-1 in front.
After a sensational volley for the equalising goal from the edge of the box, he then showed his ability with the ball at his feet to lose his marker and square the ball for Joe Aribo to score Rangers second of the afternoon and – at the time – all looked rosey in Steven Gerrard’s garden only for the defence to capitulate once again.
Alfredo Morelos’ suspension means that Kamberi will almost certainly start through the middle for the Light Blues on Wednesday night against Braga but his form since his arrival could see him edge out Ryan Kent if Gerrard sticks with his preferred 4-3-3 when domestic football returns.
Who should replace Morelos against Braga in the second-leg?
Defoe
Kamberi
Stewart
Gers fans are unanimous that the on-loan star should now be on the team-sheet from the start given his impressive cameos off the bench, regardless of the formation.
Kamberi is different gravy man. He needs to be started. The energy he brings up top is something else

Airfield does it but always trying to place it and ends up more like a pass back. Kamberi should get a start as 1 of front 3, looked much better each time he’s came on, likes a dig to.

Tell you what, I’d be starting Kamberi on Wednesday #RangersFC

Jordan why does it take us losing a game off football for him to make these changes that are good changes??? Kamberi should have started yesterday no debate. Kent needs taking out the firing line. Be pro active instead of reactive.

The likes of Stewart is hungry for it and wants game time, Kamberi should be starting and the likes of Kent & Morelos need bench.. No matter the ‘name’ and ‘weight’ that they carry.

Buzzing for Kamberi to start during the week man , Morelos has been rotten for weeks

Kamberi may be the light at the end of the tunnel, however, he is cup tied for the Scottish Cup fixture against Hearts at the weekend, not the news Rangers fans would want to hear.
