Rangers face an uphill battle to reach the Champions League play-off round after losing the first-leg of their qualifier 2-0 against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium.
Captain Teddy Tuema put the home side ahead in the first-half after slack defending from Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men before a controversial penalty in the second half was tucked away by winger Dante Vanzeir to round off the victory.
The Belgian will feel aggreived they didn’t score more goals in the latter stages as the dealt the Light Blues a hammer blow in their quest to mix it with Europe’s elite clubs.
It was a wretched display by last season’s Europa League finalists and leaves them with it all to do heading into the return leg at Ibrox next week.

6. John Lundstram - 5
Unable to impact the game and was being helped by no one around him. Capable of much better than he displayed here. | Getty Images
7. Glen Kamara - 4
Barely got involved and looked disinterested at times. Van Bronckhorst’s midfield selection was questionable. | BELGA/AFP via Getty Images
8. Ryan Jack - 4
Offered little. Looked well off the pace and sluggish. A shadow of the player Rangers fans know he is capable of. Looked at passenger at times. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
