Gerrard criticises Sadiq after Aberdeen defeat
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard wasn’t pleased with Umar Sadiq after Sunday’s League Cup semi-final defeat to Aberdeen, singling out the striker for criticism following a dive that cost him the chance of scoring into an empty net.
The 21-year-old started in attack due to Kyle Lafferty and Alfredo Morelos being unavailable but didn’t do himself any favours by spurning a big opportunity after rounding goalkeeper Joe Lewis. Rather than put the ball into the goal, he dived and tried to win a penalty – the referee was unmoved, however.
