Rangers forward Fashion Sakala had an evening to forget as the Light Blues lost 2-0 against rivals Aberdeen at the weekend.
The Zambian international missed a gilt-edged one-on-one chance early on, as well as being caught offside numerous times, before being subbed late in the second half.
It’s fair to say that fans on Twitter were not particularly impressed with Sakala, Many are beginning to lose patience with his wastefulness in front of goal and lack of technical ability:

Genuinely can’t decide who was/is worse…Fashion Sakala or Filip Sebo!

Truly awful footballer

Sakala’s inconsistency must be infuriating for his manager and his teammates. He is capable of beating defenders with ease with his pace but he regularly makes the wrong decision.
At 26 years of age, you would think that the rough edges in his game would have been smoothed out by now, and it’s disappointing to say that, two years into his Rangers career, we haven’t seen any real improvement. It remains to be seen whether he will stay at Ibrox beyond the summer.
