Could such drastic changes be the turning point and does it point to something. We miss some players through injury but again today I had to disappoint three players who cannot be in the squad so that shows the depth. I expect a different game today in the way it’s going to be played. But the former Kelty Hearts boss has been linked with the vacant Tangerines job so maybe it's a chance to watch them up close before taking charge. Allan McGregor then has to be alert to save a looping header which was about to dip under the crossbar. It shows where Colak is at his most dangerous as he beats three United defenders to get on the end of it. They started brightly and got an early goal but the intensity dropped off and United had some chances. Tony Watt goes down in the box after a challenge from Borna Barisic but Kevin Clancy is having none of it. Borna Barisic whips in a ball from the left and Colak does well to get on the end of it and flick a shot into the net. And it's substitute Sadat Anaku, on for Glenn Middleton, who makes an immediate impact with some lovely skill from the Ugandan to skip past the Gers defence, a few neat one-twos, and then he feeds Smith who fires beyond Allan McGregor. They have to stop the rot and this victory, however, laboured would do that. But it was relief for Rangers as they stopped the rot.

Has plenty of pace and comfortable on the ball. A cool finish on 8 minutes was capped up by poachers goal early in the second half.
