I don’t like to judge a player on a few games for rangers and IF I did then I wouldn’t base my judgement on just 1 game. Look at Borna Barasic before the start of this season you would have had to travel far to find a rangers fan who rated him, yet now he is gods gift. I feel the same way about Hellander as I do about any other player, 1 game does not make a player. A season is won or lost over 40 odd games and while he was outstanding yesterday so were many others. I saw a stat saying Kamara’s pass completion was an incredible 98% but I honestly felt he was if not poor then shaky in possession. So while I am delighted to see Hellander have a great game I still believe he lacks pace and this is going to hurt as at some point.
