Ally McCoist was critical of Umar Sadiq’s performance for Rangers against Aberdeen on Sunday afternoon, calling the striker “raw and naïve” after making the wrong decision when presented with a goalscoring opportunity.
Steven Gerrard’s side lost in the League Cup semi-finals at Murrayfield, but Sadiq could have made all the difference if he’d chosen to stay on his feet after rounding goalkeeper Joe Lewis for a tap-in. Instead, the 21-year-old went down under pressure and was booked for simulation.
McCoist said to BT Sport (h/t This Is Futbol): “He (Sadiq) looked like a young 19 or 20-year-old centre forward, he did some good stuff but he was raw and naïve.
