Gerrard – who criticised his fringe players after Sunday’s draw at Dundee – says his “players need some help” if they are to push forward.He said: “I think to compete at this level and have ambitions to go further, the players need some help.“I thought we were good for 80 minutes and I can’t really ask the players to give any more.”Rangers were without two injured wingers – Daniel Candeias and Ryan Kent – as well as midfielder Ovie Ejaria, who the manager described as “unsettled”.3 He added: “With what we had available tonight, I thought everyone gave an almighty effort and I think it is very hard for me to criticise the players for what they gave.“We were trying to roll the dice and go a little more adventurous to try and create something to get that moment we needed at 0-0 and, unfortunately, we’ve conceded on a counter attack.“The players deserve incredible praise for taking this group to the wire.“We will certainly take ourselves back to maybe Moscow at home, 0-0, and a couple of the chances we missed – and we’ll take ourselves back to Moscow away, when we scored a perfectly good goal, but we will also analyse our individual mistakes within it.“I think, if you analyse the journey as a whole, the players have done fantastically well, but the reality is, at this level, we’ve fell a little bit short and that is my job to try and address that.”Gerrard’s men are two points behind arch-rivals Celtic in the SPL, having played a game more.They entertain Hamilton on Sunday before travelling to Hibernian on Wednesday night.
