'Deserves a bit more support' - Rangers fans deliver verdict on fringe star's rare opportunity

Rangers won for the fifth successive time on Tuesday night, brushing aside the challenge of St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park with ease.

The Gers rushed to a four goal lead within an hour, leaving Saints battered, broken and only able to must a single goal of consolation before the 90 minutes were up.

It was Graeme Murty’s side last league match until the visit of Celtic next weekend and they’re in as good form right now as they ever have been since Brendan Rodgers arrived in Scotland.

The match was also a chance for supporters to see Andy Halliday back in action for the club, making his first league start since April of 2017.

Slotting in at left-back, the boyhood Rangers fan had a solid game overall in an unusual position, despite a couple of shaky moments, and fans were pleased with his performance.

He did receive criticism from some but the majority were supportive and took to Twitter to share their thoughts…

Just in the door and skysports playing back the highlights. Dochertys’ ball through for Windass is just porn. Big shout out to Halliday,solid in that position,didn’t even break sweat!

Also a mention for Halliday. Easy days from Andy tonight. Done a job when needed. One of our own.

Disappointing to see the reaction of some of our fans towards Halliday tonight. It’s as if some are desperate to get on his back over nothing.

He done a decent job at left back tonight, and deserves more credit than he’ll get.

He certainly deserves a bit more support…

The young man played well in a position that he hasn't played too often. Looked composed of the ball. Was well decent.
