Rangers Stumble as Makhanya Calls Out Team's Spirit

Olwethu Makhanya, who scored a late equalizer, was less than pleased with Rangers' performance in their 2-2 draw against Hearts on Wednesday. He felt the team displayed a significant "lack of character" and looked "leggy" in the second half. In other news, Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has indicated that winger Jota, who has just returned from a lengthy injury layoff, will need more time before he can start matches again. O'Neill also hinted that the point earned in the draw against Dundee United could turn out to be very valuable as the season progresses. On the injury front, Aberdeen's right-back Chris Cadden may have added to his team's concerns ahead of the League Cup semi-final against Rangers. He limped off during a 1-0 loss to Falkirk, raising doubts about his availability. In a separate development, Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli has received a warning from Uefa due to a delayed kick-off in a recent scoreless draw in Slovenia. Meanwhile, Scotland Under-21 head coach Tony Docherty and his assistant Steven Naismith have both received one-match touchline bans after a fracas during their win in Bulgaria.
