Super Eagles<\/a> centre-back Emmanuel Fernandez has sent a strong message to Rangers fans after the club bowed out of the Scottish Premiership title race, Soccernet.ng reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Gers had a poor start to their SPFL campaign this season, before kicking things off during the winter period, going 20 games unbeaten to go head-to-head with Celtic and Hearts.<\/p>\n However, Danny Rohl’s side fell short in the run-in, losing to Motherwell, Hearts, and Celtic in the Old Firm derby. With two league games to spare, it is now mathematically impossible for Rangers to lift the SPFL. <\/p>\n For Celtic and Hearts, it heads down to the wire, when both sides will meet on the final matchday. Currently, they’re separated by just a point.<\/p>\n Get Our Sports News First \u2013 Join Our WhatsApp Channel Now!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The Super Eagles defender joined the Gers from Peterborough last summer, and by his standards, had a brilliant top-flight season, scoring six goals in 31 games.<\/p>\n However, how the past three games have unfolded for Rangers has left the defender faulting himself, admitting he could’ve done better defensively, while apologising to the fans.<\/p>\n \u201cLook, we\u2019re disappointed. We know that we should have done better in the last three games,\u201d the 24-year-old said in quotes revealed by the Daily Record<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cWe feel sorry for the fans. But now we have to pick ourselves up. There are two games to go and we have to win these two games for the fans.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen next season comes we\u2019ll have a good side.<\/p>\n \u201cFirst and foremost I apologise to the fans.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I feel like there are still a lot of strong players here, young players, who are going to be in their second season.<\/p>\n \u201cThey can show they are really worth it and are going to fight,\u201d Fernandez concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Rangers will have a hard task holding on to the Super Eagles defender this summer, amidst interest from other top clubs.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/hH_xqYrmcNb57sanFvxkkTb1bGU=\/2700x1800\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2026%2F03%2Fimago1073921705.jpg\")
