Rangers’ weekend only seemed to be getting worse as Sam Lammers of Utrecht shows up.
The Staggies have never beaten the Rangers in their history, but they are counting the enormous cost of their shocking 3-2 loss to Ross County away from home.
Rangers’ championship hopes could be jeopardized at this very moment, as Celtic now leads the Scottish Premiership by four points and has a banana skin at Dens Park waiting for them this Wednesday.
The title is on the verge of being decided by one point with five games remaining, but many are beginning to question this team’s ability to contend with championship pressure after their ostentatious performance in Dingwall.
One of the numerous concerns that have surfaced since the loss is the condition of the Rangers front line, and Sam Lammers has just added insult to injury.
Sam Lammers breaks Utrecht record
The £3 million striker from the Netherlands struggled at Rangers during the first half of the season, but he is currently playing for Utrecht in his native country.
Although Sam Lammers’ effect over his six months at Rangers is undeniable, his seventh goal in six Eredivisie games says it all.
It has been forty years since a member of the Dutch team scored in six straight league games, and he scored his most recent goal in Utrecht’s thrilling 2-1 victory over Go Ahead Eagles.
It makes sense that Utrecht would want to seal the Sam Lammers transaction as soon as possible.
The attacker has expressed many opinions regarding his time with the Rangers, chief among them being that he felt Michael Beale had played him out of position.
Blooming as a top defender in Holland, the issue comes at a bad time for Rangers supporters who are constantly seeing their faltering frontline mentioned in the same breath.
Rangers strikers toil v Ross County
Fans’ attention is primarily focused on the Rangers’ wasteful frontline as the dust settles from the devastating loss to Ross County.
Fans of the Rangers are tired of watching their timid attackers cost them points, and players like Fabio Silva and Cyriel Dessers are losing supporter base every game.
Both players are not effective enough in front of goal, and Rangers suffer greatly as a result of their wastefulness and lack of creativity.
Cyriel Dessers is drowning in his at Rangers, but Sam Lammers is thriving in the number nine shirt for Utrecht.
Although the summer has been expensive, the striker has a tendency to squander significant opportunities at crucial times, costing the team.
While it’s evident that individuals like Cyriel Dessers and Fabio Silva aren’t the solution either, we’re not suggesting Sam Lammers is.
On a dismal afternoon at Victoria Park, Kemar Roofe likewise came off the bench and seemed to have forgotten about his shooting boots.
