I would say that even the Europa League is above our level. Last season we punched well above our weight IMO.

Let's all calm down. GVB was rightly praised for they way he adapted his tactics on the way to a major European final last season. Tonight he got it wrong but at the same time probably didn't legislate for every outfield player turning in a dire performance.

He should have saved their first goal tbh but he did ok with what came his way after that.

Despite the mess that emanated from Belgium tonight, I can see us turning them over if we have a full and vocal Ibrox behind us. They were an ok team but we've played countless teams inbthe last 4 years that were superior to them.

I'm still trying to work out how we are planning to utilise Colak, Matondo, Lawrence, Tilleman et all to actually create chances? Seeing us with 2 players hugging the right flank with 15 yards between them was baffling to say the least.

You know its always going to be a bad night when James Tavernier is one of the poorest players on the pitch. He looked so far off it I would have asked for a bloody DNA test after the game. That wasn't our captain out there tonight.

Kamara will undoubtedly get slaughtered (as they all should) but at least IMO he tried to turn on the ball an create things through the centre. Did it work? Not really but at least he tried. As much I get Lundstrum at the back to accommodate our full backs going forward, Do we really need him as part of a trio of defenders continually playing the ball from side to side? There were so many times in that game when we never actually had a player in the middle of the park.

Baffled by so many things tonight. How bad our players were. Our lack of creativity. Our tactics. All this against a fairly average side IMO.

Euro heroes to Euro zeros in a rather sobering 90 mins. Speechless.

They cannot be blamed. Our tactics ensured they got very little service.

🤣

The MOTM poll going to be a cracker...

Best place to be tbh.

Just as well this team is average...

Sands and Lundstrum into middle? Davies in a back 4? Confused.com

Are we playing with 5 across the back?

That's about 10 yards from where he was fouled

We have 2 players hugging the right touchline. Why?

We need to give McLaughlin more options than a punt or play it wide to a CB. One of the midfielders has to be open in the middle as there is lots of room. We are totally bypassing the centre of the pitch.

Every time we play a pass forward, nothing is sticking.

Big 45 mins. Just make sure we have something to play for at Ibrox.

Ok Rangers...we worked out that Goldson, Sands and Lundstrum can pass the ball back on forth to each other with ease. Let's try to be a bit more ambitious in the next 45 mins. Oh...and we miss Kent badly.

Our pressing is very poor IMO

Sorry to be pedantic pwick but why oh why are wearing this strip again? If anything this a clash with a light coloured top and dark shorts. We should be wearing our traditional blue.

Or will Lundstrum drop back into a 3 man unite to allow Tav and Borna to get high up the pitch?
