‘Send him back’ – Rangers fans roast ‘horrific’ player after what he did vs Annan Athletic

Rangers FC secured a convincing 5-0 victory over fourth-tier Annan Athletic in the Scottish Cup fourth round at Ibrox Stadium on January 16, 2026, advancing to the fifth round with a dominant performance attended by 37,528 fans.[1]



Bojan Miovski starred, netting a hat-trick with goals in the 12th, 32nd, and 74th minutes (from the penalty spot after a foul on substitute Rabbi Matondo). Kieran Dowell added a third in the 48th minute with a looped finish from a sweeping move initiated by Gasama, while substitute T. Aasgaard sealed the rout in the 87th minute with a stunning 30-yard free-kick.[1][2]

Manager Danny Röhl introduced several new signings, including debutant Toachi Chuck Wuana and others like Tel Aasgaard, using the match as an opportunity for squad players to prove their readiness amid a busy schedule. Röhl emphasized professionalism and respect for Annan while expecting a strong performance.[2][3]

Fan backlash erupted online targeting one player—likely a loanee or recent signing—deemed "horrific" for a series of glaring errors, including a misplaced pass that nearly gifted Annan a goal and poor defensive lapses. Furious supporters flooded social media with calls to "send him back," branding his display as embarrassing and unworthy of Rangers' standards during the otherwise routine win. Comments ranged from "Absolute clown, get him out" to "Horrific doesn't cover it—what was that vs Annan?"[1][4]

Post-match reactions praised the attacking flair and new arrivals' impact, with Miovski's opener featuring a clever change of feet and Dowell's goal highlighting fluid play. Videos captured the rout's highlights, underscoring Rangers' statement of intent under Röhl.[2][4]
