The Rangers underwent one of their most embarrassing defeats in a generation, because they were beaten 6-0 by the Brugge club during the second stage of their equality of the UEFA Champions League (UCL), succumbing to an aggregated duty barely credible 9-1.
After a disastrous first half in Ibrox last week, a goal in the second half gave the Rangers the slightest hope for this return match, but this weak light was almost extinct after only five minutes.
Nicolo Tresoldi met the Joaquin Seys cross with a dive head which he buried beyond Jack Butland, and things worsened only for visitors when Max Aarons was sent to transport Christos Tzolis three minutes later.
The men of Russell Martin simply capitulated from there, with Butland has repeatedly called on many occasions. The Rangers rearguard temporarily held, tzolis striking the bar and butland keeping it remotely.
He then made a flight backup to deny Aleksandar Stanković just after the half hour, but from the resulting corner, he was finally beaten while the captain of Brugge Hans Vanaken returned to his home Tzolis on the delivery of tzolis to do it 2-0 in the night.
The Blauw-Zwart was sweating confidence and Vanaken struck a lamp in Marco Van Basten style against the bar shortly after, but the valves opened just before the break with three goals in quick succession.
First of all, Seys slipped to the house a rebound after Butland had made another stop to refuse it initially, before the 20 -year -old side house was the house on the fly at the back post while the defense of the Scottish team disappeared once again.
Home players were lining up to get on the match sheet while they hindered even more embarrassment for visitors in time of time, Stanković given the freedom of the penalty surface to nod the head of the Vanaken cross for a fifth.
The besieged Martin made a triple change at the break to try to stem the flow, but even it did not work because the local team continued to cross the defense like a hot knife through the butter.
Tresoldi and Tzolis exchanged passes, the Greek international ending via the interior of the post for the sixth goal which arrived just five minutes after restarting.
Fortunately, the assault calmed down but it was really one of the darkest days of the proud history of the Rangers to leave Martin, named that in June, already clinging to his work by the skin of his teeth.
Their consolation price is a place in the Europa League where they will join the Rivaux Amers Celtic, with which they collide on Sunday. That their manager will arrive even if far is, incredibly, a lot of debate.
