Four Lads Had A Dream have strongly criticized Rangers following their disappointing 2-1 loss to Celtic, urging for a significant overhaul of the squad with the departure of certain players.
The defeat, marked by goals from Matt O’Riley and a John Lundstram own goal, followed by a strike from Cyriel Dessers, saw the Hoops secure all three points. Matters worsened as Lundstram was sent off before halftime, dimming any chances of a title win for Philippe Clement’s side.
In the aftermath, the fan podcast, through their X account on May 11th, particularly singled out Tom Lawrence for poor performance and demanded the exit of Lundstram “and several others” from Ibrox by the summer.
They criticized the team selection, highlighting the predictability of the outcome, and lamented the slow pace of the midfield, Lawrence’s ineffectiveness, and the delayed impact of Raskin and Yilmaz’s energy. The focus remained on Lundstram’s below-par display, stressing the urgency for his departure along with other underperforming individuals.
The resurfacing call for a squad reconstruction reflects a sense of deja vu from a year ago when a revamp was deemed necessary to compete with Celtic. However, the anticipated improvements from the overhaul have not materialized, paving the way for another round of uncertainty regarding players’ futures at Ibrox.
Lundstram and Borna Barisic appear likely to depart at the end of their contracts, while the status of Scott Wright, James Tavernier, and Connor Goldson hangs in the balance. With Celtic’s imminent dominance in the league, the existing core of players bears responsibility for the recurrent failures.
Philippe Clement is urged to assert his authority over the team and drive substantial changes during the summer transfer window. It is apparent that a significant number of players must bid farewell to the club to pave the way for essential transformations ahead.
