Rangers boss Abdullahi Maikaba said he’s unhappy with the attitude of his players despite the win against Katsina United on Wednesday.
A much improved second-half display by Rangers ensured that they snatched all points at stake with a 1-0 win to do a double over visiting Katsina United.
Chukwuebuka Okorie was the hero of the day as he converted a brilliant pass from Elkanah Godgift in the 57th minute.
The visitors almost drew level with the last kick of the game, but for the timely reactionary save produced by Elkanah Godgift to push Samuel Pam’s volley over the bar.
After the encounter Abdul Maikaba said:
“We are happy to get the three points but my boys should know that if you get the opportunity to score more goals, we should take it. Anything could have happened with their last kick and it would have been difficult to come back.
“The attitudes my boys exhibited even after scoring, I am not happy with it. At 1-0 our opponents showed signs of tiredness and that would have been the time to harvest goals of which the opportunities were created but failed to convert. We have to be hungry to score goals because the game is all about goals.”
Rangers will next trade tackles with Oriental rivals Enyimba on Sunday at the Enyimba Stadium.
