Dundee United figure sums up Rangers shambles and chuckles at calamitous Gers defending

Jim Goodwin's Dundee United team came to Ibrox to 'annoy' Rangers in the Scottish Premiership this weekend.
But it's not just the team the Irishman and his charges have wound up upsetting as a spirited Arabs draw leaves his Belgian counterpart in the Rangers dugout under increasing pressure.
The Rangers support are genuinely aghast at the abominable standards being displayed from top to bottom at Ibrox and Philippe Clement is firmly in the firing line.
A total of 11 points off Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic and in a battle with Dundee United for 4th place as things stand, Rangers are going nowhere fast and genuinely look on the verge of complete collapse.
As Philippe Clement refuses to concede in the title race, Jim Goodwin almost perfectly sums up the shambles at Rangers at the moment with one line following the 1-1 draw at Ibrox.
Far from be happy with earning a point in Glasgow, the ex-Aberdeen manager was genuinely upset his team didn't secure all three.
Jim Goodwin wanted all three points v Rangers
"Well obviously we're delighted to take a point," Goodwin told Sky Sports.
"And slightly disappointed not to have taken all three, given the manner of the goal that we conceded.
"A really well worked goal from Rangers but it's something we'd spoken about in the build up to the game, especially with Cerny.
"(He's) very good at playing balls inside and then continuing on his run and unfortunately at that stage we just switched off, lacked a bit of concentration and it was a very good goal.
"But given the circumstances prior to the game and everything the players have had to deal with.
"They've sat on a bus for four and a half hours today to get from Dundee to Glasgow, we only arrived at the stadium 50 minutes before kick off.
"A real quick warm up and a just a real test of character today and really pleased that we've been able to come away from a very difficult venue with a really valuable point."
Dundee United boss chuckles at Rangers defending
Jim Goodwin wasn't done there as the smug Dundee United manager chuckled at the state of the Rangers defence for the Arabs opener in the game.
Sam Dalby found himself in acres of free space to power a header past Jack Butland when he got between hapless Gers duo Robin Propper and Jefte.
Letting out a wry laugh, Goodwin joked that Dalby looked like he had the freedom of Ibrox to nod Dundee United in front.
"I think it's a brilliant goal, I have to say" said Goodwin. "A really well-worked goal up the left-hand side back into Vicko Sevelj.
"Terrific delivery into the box and Sam Dalby is on fire at the moment. A really good header, looked as if he had lot of space in the middle of the box *chuckles* but delighted to see that one hit the back of the net."
