Genk’s Oh Hyeon-gyu seals winning return to Glasgow and deepens Rangers’ gloom
More punishment for Rangers at the hand of a Belgian opponent. A familiar combination of self-destruction and the poor defending endemic under Russell Martin deepened the gloom. Reduced to ten men after Mohamed Diomande’s reckless first-half challenge, insult was added by Genk’s goal being scored by a former Celtic striker in Oh Hyeon-gyu.
Martin has talked of “results coming through difficulty” but could barely have chosen to manage a club where poor results will cause more difficulty. Ibrox was undersold, just 38,000 there, though in attendance was Andrew Cavanagh, the co-owner glad-handling fans before kick-off. The American health insurance entrepreneur’s scheduled visit to Glasgow has allowed him to experience what fans have been served during his choice of manager’s short reign.
