'Unbelievable' - Naismith stunned by footage he saw of Rangers ace v Dundee United

Steven Naismith couldn’t believe Danilo missed an “unbelievable chance” for Rangers in the 1-1 draw against Dundee United.

The Gers lost further ground in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday [23 November], relying on a 66th-minute equaliser from Vaclav Cerny to cancel out Sam Dalby’s opener at Ibrox.

However, Naismith believes Rangers should have secured a vital three points for Philippe Clement when critiquing the match live on BBC Sportscene [23 November, 33:59] as Danilo squandered a golden chance in the second half.

He said: “That’s an unbelievable chance, [it] needs to be a goal.”

Rangers and Philippe Clement fail to win again v Dundee United

Cerny and Danilo played a clever one-two around the Dundee United defence before the Czech forward pulled it back to his teammate with the goal gaping – Danilo scuppered his shot wide of the goal.

Had the Brazilian converted his opportunity, it would be a completely different story at Rangers, but the Glaswegian outfit now find themselves 11 points adrift of Celtic in the Scottish Premiership – if the domestic campaign was not already over, it is now.

Aberdeen have emerged as the “real challengers” to Celtic this season, and while Jimmy Thelin also tasted defeat in a 2-1 loss against St Mirren, the three points separating the sides is certainly a more manageable gap to overcome.

Rangers supporters will be counting down the days before Philippe Clement is inevitably shown the door at Ibrox; with all hope lost in the SPFL, slim chances remain of success in the Europa League, albeit qualification to the knockout stages is a real possibility.

Indeed, it was a grim afternoon for all those involved with the Gers, as the conditions of Storm Bert led to miserable conditions at Ibrox and forced the delay to kick-off by 45 minutes.

However, Rangers supporters can certainly expect change in Glasgow with the impending announcement of Patrick Stewart as chief executive officer [Rangers Review] alongside Michael Offord as club chairman in a new-look regime, which could result in the long-awaited and abrupt end of the Clement era.
