Martin: Mentality in charge for poor begin

Rangers head coach Russell Martin chatting with TNT Sports activities:

“You can’t start that poorly. We still had loads of chances in the first half, but they had too many, all from set-play or throw-in.

“However we simply must be brighter, organised, faster, assist one another extra. The mentality is the issue. It is not like we’re not doing what we must always do on the set-play, we’re not doing what we must always do on our throw-in. That is a mentality difficulty within the first little bit of the sport.

“We still had loads of chances in the first half, we caused them a lot of problems.

“So dominant in the second half. Of course, we give up a couple of chances late on because we’re throwing everything at it, but we should score more goals. You come away in Europe and have that many chances at goal, and big chances, you can’t lose the game.”

“We gave up chances from set-plays early on, not in open play. Open play late on in the game when we’re trying to get an equaliser, and of course, there’s going to be space – so I just said, it’s a mentality thing.”

On methods to repair it: “We have to look at it, we need to be brighter, we need to help each other more.

“We have a lot of young men, but they have to learn really quickly.

“We’ve got to enhance the mentality shortly as a result of it isn’t a technical or tactical drawback.

Cornelius: We will not be naive going right into a sport

Rangers defender Derek Cornelius chatting with TNT Sports activities:

“We didn’t start the match well, and that’s something we need to stop doing. We can’t be naive going into any game.
