Rangers manager Steven Gerrard was not happy with his team’s defending during their Europa League defeat

Gerrards men were 3-2 up at the break before two quick-fire second-half goals condemned the visitors.“We are bitterly disappointed with how we defended,” Gerrard said.“If the problem was tactically then I would have looked to change formation or personnel.“The goals we conceded were nothing to do with tactics.”Rangers led three times in the first-half thanks to an own goal and strikes from Daniel Candeias and Glenn Middleton.But there were just 66 seconds between Sofiane Hannis equaliser and Luis Adrianos winner, which left Rangers third in Group G with two group games remaining.“I think we attacked very well and I thought we were very dangerous and countered very bravely and got our rewards for that to be in control of the game at half-time,” Gerrard added.2

Rangers took the lead three times in Moscow, but were still beaten 4-3 by Spartak

“But, for me, football is about levels and, if you don’t defend properly and you don’t do the basics well enough, high-level players and high-level teams normally punish you and that was the case.“We didn’t do the basics well enough, or clear our lines at the right time. At times, we weren’t in the right positions.“People who have had a lot of praise and have done really, really well to get us to this stage just didn’t do the basics well enough.”
