📍 Firhill for the Glasgow Cup Final. Kasanwirjo’s first game since November, Curtis the captain and McCallion starts too.

Rangers' issues have been magnified away from home this season.

Single-game xG difference on the road (green xG and purple xG against) is below - only once has their xG difference, chances created minus conceded, been greater than 1.5.

Rangers haven't had their problems to seek from def set-pieces since Xmas, but Raskin's header was really well-worked.

A good example of levelling the playing field due to USG's far superior height. Dragging zonal shape forward and using Propper as a decoy to isolate Raskin.

🎯 Hamza Igamane has 13 goals from 7.3xG in the SPFL + #UEL so far this season

In frame two, Igamane chooses to pass (attracting four Hibs players forward in the process) instead of rushing a shot with plenty of bodies to block an effort.

Going backwards and working the ball wide to Cerny presents a much-better chance seconds later.

Against Hibs Rangers' average shot distance of 14.47 was notably lower than the previous away average of 16.55.

As shown in the below shot map, they weren't often trying attempts from distance. The third goal being a good example as Clement suggested yesterday.

A contribution to Rangers' away struggles, imo, is shot distance - on the road, they have the league's highest average.

Shooting from low xG areas relieves pressure on the opposition and, most importantly, stops Rangers from spending time around the penalty box. However... 🧵

“Any game is about small margins, especially big games.”

Igamane the standout for Rangers, he's linked well with Danilo and Clement's side look better for having a degree of fluidity up top.

Hagi's cross broke the deadlock. Raskin's put in a couple of good crosses too.

Here's your Rangers team to face Dundee United ⤵️

Looking ahead to Rangers' trip to Nice next week - worth flagging that their xG difference/90 is better in the Europa League than the Scottish Premiership (0.92 to 0.8) and is the fourth-best in the competition so far.

Inside Nils Koppen’s technical director role, and what it means:

🔺 Realignment of initial role
🔺 No jurisdiction over hiring/firing managers
🔺 Further football exec appointment not off table
🔺 Risks and the area of oversight that still exists

Somewhat overtaken by events, but here's a piece trying to answer the question 'What is Philippe Clement's style' speaking to some who've worked with him.

Interestingly Clement did have the option of two systems at Club Brugge - a back 3 and 4.
