The B Team boss reflected on the way his side carried out their strong win and performance against Stephen Hatfield’s side today.
Speaking exclusively to RangersTV after the match, he said: “I really enjoyed that performance, I said to them at half time that despite the score being 1-1 I thought we created a lot of chances and variation in our forward play – we had a lot of variation, but we were unfortunate to not get the goals after the positive flow that we had. The message at half time was quite simple, more of the same and to believe and trust yourself to get the second. Credit to the boys, they did that, and they were clinical in the second half.
“The fact that there were five different goal scorers, but also really good goals at the same time. We’re particularly pleased with Greig Allen with his first goal for the B Team. I also thought that the combination of the last goal was excellent.
“We’ve asked Kane [Ritchie-Hosler] to do quite a bit over recent weeks in terms of different positions, but I think what is really clear is that he is a very talented football player, he’s a threat even as a full back player. We’re pleased for him today, I thought he was probably just our best player to put on a strong performance, and it was excellent for him to get a goal as well.”
McCallum reflected on the squad’s games in previous weeks and insists that the team must keep looking to the next match following this afternoon’s positive performance.
He added: “You look at all our games in recent weeks and clearly Sevilla is the one that we are frustrated by, although they are a good team, we still believe that it was an opportunity that we didn’t quite grasp. There are different things happening in recent weeks with a lot of player movement, which is terrific for some moving upwards towards the first team. The result today is very strong, and we’re pleased about that, but we are looking forward to next week.”
