# Rangers: Fans react to Steven Gerrard’s comments

**Fans of Glasgow Rangers have been reacting to a post on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/RangersFC/status/1384970946470191108), in which the Gers relayed the post-match comments of Steven Gerrard following the club’s draw with St Johnstone on Wednesday.**

[Speaking after the 1-1 draw at McDiarmid Park](https://twitter.com/RangersFC/status/1384970946470191108), the Gers boss claimed that a number of his decisions made in the match were “all about the weekend,” when Rangers, rather coincidentally, play St Johnstone once again in the quarter-final of the Scottish Cup.

However, the 40-year-old did claim that it was a shame his side couldn’t “see the game out” having taken the lead, although admitted that he felt Jack Simpson’s barge on Christopher Kane, which led to St Johnstone’s 95th-minute equaliser from the spot, “was a penalty,” despite reports suggesting [the referee’s decision was debatable](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7003281/st-johnstone-rangers-craig-ibrox-perth/).

And, after Rangers relayed footage of Gerrard’s comments on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/RangersFC/status/1384970946470191108), fans of the club flocked to have their say on the matter, with many appearing somewhat dumbstruck by their manager’s belief that Simpson’s challenge warranted a spot-kick.

**“Baffled Gerrard thinks one if not both are penalties against us, I’m just not seeing it. Especially the second. Possible he’s picking his battles. The rest I’m on board with.”**

**“He’s lost it. How on earth is he saying that was a penalty?”**
