Shankland and Devlin the worst rated players on Sofascore.
2 of our much lauded summer signings performing statistically poor.

So rated by someone? Devlin was nowhere near the worst. Naderi, Dio, Rommens, Fernandez all far worse than Devlin and Shankland. Criminal Dio got 90mins.

I totally agree, Shankland done her haw apart from that chance early on. Devlin is a sending off waiting to happen.
01 Aug 2026 11:43:55
Oh, and missed Gassama.

Apart from Aasgaard last night, nobody performed at all. Can't dwell on it though, we have a big game on Thursday and McInnes needs to get the team up for it.

Shankland was the worst player on the park for us last night, but you will get the excuses being made by others for him. Complete and utter waste of a jersey last night and should have been off at half time instead of Naderi.
I ain't a fan of Naderi, but he was played out wide right, and he at least moved, which was more than Shankland.

Peter Shankland done absolutely nothing but complain when he messed a pass up or someone didn't cut a ball back to him when he was standing still, Boyd was more mobility.
Devlin had at least 5 fouls in the first half & got more in the second, still no idea how he didn't get booked. All he done was tackle players & leave gaps.
Dio wasn't great but he carried the ball forward a lot & there was no one helping him so he ended up fouled a lot.
Manager got the tactics wrong, plain & simple. Chermiti & Naderi aren't wingers but by the looks of it they won't play as strikers ahead of Shankland.

His foul throw was just. 🤦♂️
01 Aug 2026 12:29:29
Shankland wasn't the worst. Got a decent effort at goal and got an assist. Still pretty poor though, yeah. But all those are in front of him. Naderi was a headless chicken. Ridiculous spending 5 mill on him. Actually laughable.

Shankland, unfortunately, was posted missing second half. He's captain now, so don't expect him to be subbed often. It's a worry. I like Shankland, happy he's here, but I expected more from him.
01 Aug 2026 12:44:49
Shankland and Devlin not Rangers class. 🤣
01 Aug 2026 12:46:32
Yip, Shankland was rid rotten last night. In fact, it's one of the worst debuts I've seen, and that's saying something.
01 Aug 2026 13:13:53
Ball bounced over him.
01 Aug 2026 13:04:00
He didn't get an assist, Peter, so you're clutching at straws. Your argument for him not being the worst is now a saved back heel in the first half and winning a header in the second. To suggest there were 5 players worse than Shankland last night when he literally did nothing.
01 Aug 2026 13:04:32
Gassama & Diomande were absolute mince, Fernandez still strolling about, if he's Bobby Moore, he needs a rocket up him.
01 Aug 2026 13:23:55
Got to laugh on here at times, when people like a striker and he has a bad game, it gets put down to him not getting any service, but when they didn't want him at the club in first place, he was worst player on the park. 🤣
I'll be first to admit that he was rubbish, but what service did he get? Djb, if Chermiti cuts the ball back to him we probably win that game, I'd have been shouting at him for shooting from there as well.
01 Aug 2026 13:25:00
If the substitution had been made on merit last night, Naderi would have stayed on and Shankland come off. At least Naderi was trying to work off that weird right wing position that McInnes started him in, and he created Shankland's chance, had a header well saved, and got another admittedly tame shot on target. He's not a physical back to goal striker, but he does have good touch around the box on the ground.
That said, Chermiti and Shankland should have started, with the big fella to come on later. Devlin did what he does, and he got no help from Diomande, who doesn't have the discipline to play that role. We have 4 guys who could and should have started before Dio.
