Alex Rae believes Umar Sadiq did “relatively well” for Rangers in Sunday’s League Cup semi-final defeat to Aberdeen, reports The Sun. The 21-year-old was given a rare start by Steven Gerrard due to Alfredo Morelos being suspended and Kyle Lafferty being cup-tied for the clash, but Sadiq failed to take the opportunity with both hands.
He was guilty of simulation after going down when rounding Aberdeen’s goalkeeper, rather than scoring into an empty net, but Rae still feels Gerrard should be relatively content with Sadiq’s showing given his lack of activity this season.
