'What are you doing?' - Boyd can't believe what he sees Rangers player do in loss vs Hearts

Nasser Djiga was seen with a smile on his face at full-time as Rangers lost 2-1 to Hearts in the William Hill Premiership on Monday.

The centre-back was having a conversation with his Burkina Faso teammate Pierre Landry Kabore at Tynecastle Park on 4 May after the game.

Djiga was also seen helping Claudi Braga with his cramp towards the end of the match, something that left Kris Boyd with a bad taste in his mouth.

The former Gers striker thinks most of the current crop of players don’t have the right mentality to be at the Glaswegian outfit, with the Wolves loanee’s actions called out.

Danny Rohl saw his team crumble in Gorgie after a dominant first half as the Govan side are now left to pick up the pieces of whatever remains this season.

Rangers to have second thoughts about Nasser Djiga transfer

Speaking on Go Ballistic on 5 May, Boyd said, “The fans will be hurting this morning, there’s no doubt about it, but you wonder if the players feel that way as well. I think that comes from within. Sitting there stretching off the Hearts team when they’ve got cramp.

“I mean, what are you doing? Seriously. What are you doing? If you lose a game of football, it’s bad enough. It was Nasser Djiga — I get it, you might have friends on the Hearts team, but you’re standing there after the game talking when you know that’s the title over and you’re best mates with the opposition players.”

Djiga has had a mixed spell at the Gers since arriving on loan from Wolves last summer, initially being considered a disastrous signing by a large section of fans in G51.

The Burkina Faso ace has turned the tide a bit in recent months after forming a decent partnership with Emmanuel Fernandez, keeping John Souttar out of the starting lineup.

There has been talk of signing Djiga permanently at Ibrox in the summer following the turnaround, but his recent performance may give the Glaswegian outfit some pause about that idea.

A major rebuild could potentially be on the cards at the Govan side as Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises look to get them back to the top and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the likes of centre-back.

Ibrox hierarchy must bring culture back under Danny Rohl

Rohl’s starting lineup against Hearts didn’t have a single Scot in it, something that’s being scrutinised after the fact.

Rangers have turned up their noses at Scottish talent over the last few years, the prime example being Lawrence Shankland.

Over the last two transfer windows, even the new American owners opted to look for players overseas rather than relying on stars with experience of what it’s like to play in Scotland.

Fans will surely want to see Cavenagh’s transfer strategy change in the upcoming transfer window as demand for success in Govan is always high.
