Ian Durrant and Barry Ferguson have questioned Danny Rohl's decision to substitute Mikey Moore in the Old Firm match against Celtic.
Rohl made the change in the 77th minute at Ibrox, bringing on Nedim Bajrami in place of the Tottenham Hotspur loanee. Despite Bajrami netting his penalty, Durrant and Ferguson were baffled by Moore's removal, given his recent impact against Celtic.
Durrant said on the Five Star Podcast: "For me personally, I was disappointed when he took Mikey Moore off. I thought that changed the whole dynamic of the team.
"I saw the crowd go a bit low and I just felt the atmosphere sort of changed. That was maybe the lead-up later on to the penalties that sort of deflated us a wee bit."

Ferguson added, "I think Durranty makes a brilliant point. See if he is tiring a wee bit, I feel if Celtic see him coming off, they are rubbing their hands.
"At some stage, he can come up with a bit of magic, so I was surprised. I'm always a big believer in keeping difference makers on if you can. If it's not an injury and it's just a bit of tiredness, you're going to get a second wind.
"But the spine of the team is really important. It's looking really strong, and hopefully we can add around about that and make it even stronger."
Rangers will now set their sights on their upcoming match against St Mirren, with the clash set for Sunday afternoon at the SMiSA Stadium.
