The 12 game winning streak for the Jambos came to an end when they were destroyed 5-0 at Govan. Naismith, the former forward for the Light Blues, had an unfortunate return to Govan. Steven Naismith acknowledged that the Rangers gave his team a reality check, but he promised not to allow a loss at the Ibrox ruin their season.
The Jambos were on a roll when they got to Govan, but Philippe Clement’s table-toppers crushed them. The goals from Mohamed Diomande, Oscar Cortes, and Fabio Silva, together with a double from Cyriel Dessers, made it a comfortable 5-0 victory for the Gers.
Hearts, who hold a commanding lead in third place in the Premiership, will play a derby against Hibs at Tynecastle in the middle of the week. Although Naismith acknowledges that the Rangers gave them a lesson, he is adamant that their hard work will not be undone. “The five goals were probably some of the weakest we’ve conceded, and they came at a bad time in the game,” he stated. Rangers were expected to get off to a quick start because they were leading the league and were playing before Celtic this week. We most likely didn’t handle the noisy atmosphere well enough.
