Disgusted Rangers fans quit Ibrox just 20 minutes in to leave Amazon Prime doyen stunned
Disgusted Rangers fans quit Ibrox just 20 minutes in to leave Amazon Prime doyen stunned A first half horror show from Russell Martin's side is threatening to get even worse and some punters don't want to see any more Rangers manager Russell Martin cuts a frustrated figure on the Ibrox touchline Rangers fans started leaving Ibrox after just 20 MINUTES as their team's Champions League dream imploded in front of their eyes. Russell Martin's shellshocked side shipped three goals to a Club Brugge team who no doubt can't believe their luck and already have one foot in the league phase and are counting the £40million jackpot that is surely coming their way. Nasser Djiga's moment of madness in just leaving a ball over the top for Jack Butland to collect was punished in exquisite style by Romeo Vermant, who chipped the ball over the stranded keeper first time. The boos started in earnest after just seven minutes when Jorne Spileers was given the freedom of the penalty are to double the advantage. And a third goal after less than a third of the game had been played proved too much for some. Fans started making their way to the exits no doubt with a stiff drink in mind given what their team had subjected them too. Article continues below It was picked up by stunned Amazon Prime commentator Jon Champion, who was quick to point out the mass exodus. The anger of those who stayed was also not lost on former Gers coach and co-commentator for the night Neil McCann. And the fear will be that this could get far, far worse before it gets any better and some punters would rather not hang around to witness it. Chris Sutton stuck the boot in when he posted on social media: "I thought Rangers fans don't do walking away… 20 minutes in and many have given up already…" Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland looks dejected You can follow our LIVE blog here.

Champions League: Tavernier on bench & Meghoma debuts as Rangers host Club Brugge
Update: Date: 19:27 BST Title: What happened during the pre-season friendly? Content: Rangers v Club Brugge (20:00) Rangers played Club Brugge in a pre-season friendly in early July, but Russell Martin said neither side can take much from that 2-2 draw when asked yesterday. Goals from Hugo Vetlesen and Ludovit Reis gave the Belgian side a 2-0 half-time lead at Ibrox before Mohamed Diomande and Findlay Curtis secured a draw for the hosts after the break. Update: Date: 19:24 BST Title: 'No magic bullet' for Rangers Content: Rangers v Club Brugge (20:00) Tom EnglishBBC Sport Scotland chief sports writer on BBC Sportsound The fans are thoroughly unconvinced about Russell Martin. The ones who didn't want him in the first place are convinced that he's the wrong choice but who do they want? Who was the golden boy? Who was the one who was going to fix everything? There is no magic bullet there. Martin is not lacking in confidence. He's not lacking in vision. It's difficult when you've seen really unimpressive draws domestically but this is the start. They have to start somewhere and this is where they're at. It's flawed for sure but did anyone think that he was going to walk in here, sign a bunch of players and everything was going to click immediately? Update: Date: 19:22 BST Title: 'It's all good, Mum' - Martin Content: Rangers v Club Brugge (20:00) Russell Martin has told his mother and others not to "worry" about him and insists he's "enjoying" being Rangers head coach, despite his inconsistent start to life in the Ibrox dugout. "A lot of people message me, who read message boards and stuff, concerned about me and they just don't have to be," Martin said yesterday. "I keep telling my mum, 'don't worry about it'. It's all good. I'm enjoying it. I'm really enjoying it." Update: Date: 19:18 BST Title: 'A few surprises, but still strong' Content: Rangers v Club Brugge (20:00) Billy DoddsFormer Rangers striker on BBC Radio Scotland A few surprises in the team, but still strong. James Tavernier will be gutted especially after playing such a big part by coming off the bench and showing professionalism, scoring goals.. Lyall Cameron sits on the bench. Thelo Aasgaard doesn't make it after being put to press yesterday. It's still strong. Cyriel Dessers would have helped them tonight because this team will sit deep. Dessers would have suited this game. Update: Date: 19:16 BST Title: Uefa Coefficient: How does it affect European qualification? Content: Ask Me Anything Ask Me Anything It is a big couple of weeks for Scottish football as far as qualification for future European competitions is concerned. Going into the 2025-26 season, Scotland were the 11th-best ranked nation, giving them two Champions League qualification places. For the 2026-27 campaign, Scotland have dropped to 14th, which still gives them two Champions League qualifying places. As things stand, Scotland will enter the 2027-28 season in 17th, significantly effecting their places in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. The performances of Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen and Hibernian, both across the final round of qualifying and if they reach the league phase, will ultimately determine how qualification for the 27-28 campaign will work. Read all about it in our explainer here Update: Date: 19:12 BST Title: Palace-linked Tzolis starts for visitors Content: Rangers v Club Brugge (20:00) Arguably Club Brugge's star man, Greece international winger Christos Tzolis has been linked with a move to Crystal Palace, but starts for the visitors tonight. Along with Tzolis down the left, Carlos Forbs caused havoc down the right in the last round against Salzburg and got on the scoresheet in the 3-2 home win. Veteran midfielder and captain Hans Vanaken has come up with big moments in the Champions League regularly for Brugge and is good for a goal and an assist from midfield. Christos Tzolis scored against Scotland for Greece earlier this year Update: Date: 19:08 BST Title: Meghoma starts as Martin makes seven changes Content: Rangers v Club Brugge (20:00) Russell Martin has made seven changes to the side that started the 4-2 League Cup win over Alloa on Saturday. Liam Kelly, Emmanuel Fernandez, Oscar Cortes, Joe Rothwell, Bailey Rice, Kieran Dowell, Nadim Bajrami, and Mikey Moore drop out. Jack Butland, John Souttar, Mohamed Diomande, Oliver Antman, Djeidi Gassama, Jayden Meghoma - who only signed on loan from Brentford yesterday - and Nicolas Raskin all start. Jayden Meghoma gets his first start for Rangers after signing on loan from Brentford Update: Date: 19:04 BST Title: LINE-UPS from Ibrox Content: Rangers v Club Brugge (20:00) Rangers: Butland, Aarons, Souttar, Djiga, Meghoma, Diomande, Raskin, Rothwell, Antman, Gassama, Danilo.
