Rangers facing Champions League exit after early collapse against Club Brugge
In a nightmare beginning to the first leg, Gers defender Nasser Djiga inexplicably allowed a long ball past him in the third minute and grateful visiting striker Romeo Vermant coolly lofted the ball over stranded goalkeeper Jack Butland. And further strikes from Jorne Spileers and Brandon Mechele had the visitors 3-0 up after just 20 minutes. A disastrous start for Rangers 😫 A huge mix-up between the back line, gives Romeo Vermant a chance and he takes full advantage finishing brilliantly 💥 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) August 19, 2025 Brazilian striker Danilo pulled a goal back four minutes after the break and the home side rallied, but the Belgian outfit stood firm. The return game against Nicky Hayen's men in Belgium next Wednesday will require a huge turnaround, albeit the Govan club are assured Europa League group phase football at least. Wins over Panathinaikos and Viktoria Plzen in previous qualifiers revealed flaws in Russell Martin's new-look Gers side and raised concerns in the stands, as did back-to-back draws to start the William Hill Premiership campaign. And once again the former Southampton boss incurred the ire of the Light Blue legions. Martin made 10 changes for Saturday's 4-2 Premier Sports Cup victory over Alloa and seven for the visit of the Belgian outfit. The news that elicited the most surprise was that 19-year-old England youth international Jayden Meghoma, who signed on loan from Brentford on Sunday, went straight in at left-back with Max Aarons preferred to experienced club captain James Tavernier at right-back. Jack Butland, John Souttar, Mohamed Diomande, Oliver Antman, Djeidi Gassama, and Nicolas Raskin all returned. Greece international Christos Tzolis, who scored for Greece against Scotland at Hampden Park in March and who has been linked with a move to Crystal Palace, started for the visitors, while former Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet was in goal. All eyes were on Meghoma, who spent last season on loan at Preston, and he started positively. But a horror mistake by Djiga allowed Tzolis' pass to give Vermant an easy finish which stunned everyone inside the ground. The Gers fans were coming to terms with the needless loss of a goal when Tzolis' corner from the right was knocked past Butland by the unmarked Spileers from 12 yards. The boos that rang round the ground intensified when Mechele, making his 500th appearance for Brugge, stepped all too easily in front of Danilo just outside the Rangers box and gave Butland no chance with an arrowed right-footed drive. Light Blues midfielder Joe Rothwell clipped the outside of a post with a free-kick from 25 yards in the 26th minute. But it was not the signal for a comeback as Butland brilliantly beat away a drive from Carlos Forbes, with the home defence again split open. A three-goal deficit at the break left the Gers support in a state of shock but they got a lifeline when Danilo slid in to convert an enticing cross from Meghoma. Brugge stepped up the pace and amid a flurry of corners, Butland made a fine from Joel Ordonez. Gassama's angled-drive skipped inches past the far post before Mohamed Diomande and Danilo were replaced by Hamza Igamane and Thelo Aasgaard. Gassama had the ball in the Brugge net in the 78th minute but French referee Francois Letexier was asked by VAR to check his pitchside monitor and quickly decided that Mignolet had the ball in his hand before it was bundled into the net. The Light Blues second-half display was heartening but it was a chastening first 20 minutes which keeps the spotlight on Martin.

Legends Tour at Trump: The best images from the celebrity pro-am as Andriy Shevchenko, Judy Murray and Brian McFadden hit the links
From footballing royalty to Olympians and reality TV stars, the celebrities were out in force at Trump International Links. A day after US President Donald Trump had opened the new course at the Aberdeenshire venue, it was the turn of some more familiar faces to tee it up at the Cardhu Celebrity Pro-Am. The pro-am is the appetiser before the Legends Tour's flagship tournament – the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship gets under way on Thursday morning – but has become a popular event in its own right among golf fans in the north-east. Irish pop singer Brian McFadden, who rose to fame with Westlife, described the Trump International Links course as 'a real jewel'. He said: 'This is my third or fourth time here. I have great memories as I won here three years ago to qualify for the Legends Tour's grand final in Mauritius. 'In my opinion, this is one of the best golf courses in the world. 'For a links golf course to have that kind of condition on the greens and the fairways is just phenomenal. 'The Scottish people always make us feel so welcome and spoil us rotten. 'It is a really tough field as a lot of the celebrities are very good. 'Robbie Fowler is the most consistent. You never see him far from the top of the leaderboard. 'Keith Duffy is always up there, Teddy Sheringham is a very good golfer and Andriy Shevchenko is incredible. 'It is a tough field – I know when I tee off I won't be winning.' Legendary British athlete Kriss Akabusi was also loving being back in Aberdeenshire for the Legends Tour event. The celebrities were all playing for a nominated charity, with £10,000 going to the winner, £7,500 for second place and £2,500 for third. Akabusi said: 'I always love coming here. It's not the easiest course to play but it is always beautiful. 'I really like the layout of the 12th hole, it's definitely one of my favourites on the course. 'It's important to enjoy yourself and not try to be something that you're not. 'It's great to play the course alongside someone like my playing partner Rich Beem (winner of the 2002 US PGA Championship who now works as an analyst for Sky Sports). 'I told him I had listened to him talk about golf so many times on the TV so it's great to say I have now played a round alongside him.' Former Liverpool and Republic of Ireland defender Jason McAteer says playing golf has helped him adjust to life after football. McAteer, who plays off a very impressive handicap of 1.5, said: 'I came up on Monday with Robbie Fowler and we played Murcar on Tuesday, which was a stunning place. 'I really enjoy my golf. 'When you finish playing football there is a massive void in your life. 'You still have that competitive edge. You want to get better at something and have that discipline. 'Golf is perfect for that. I live on a golf course in Cheshire. That was the compromise with my missus when we moved house. 'I get to go out and play golf most evenings. I like the social side of it. It keeps my mind right.' Teddy Sheringham, a Champions League winner with Manchester United, has also turned to golf and plays off four. He said: 'This is my second time here and I absolutely love it. 'It is stunning and great to play with players such as my pro-am partner Paul McGinley. 'I played Royal Aberdeen a couple of years ago. You have a great word for the fog up here – the haar – and unfortunately that came in and we only got to play about 12 holes but I really liked that course. 'My own golf is up and down but I'm playing a lot. I just spent a couple of days at Loch Lomond, which was stunning. 'It doesn't get much better than playing golf on courses like this.' Former Hibernian manager Alan Stubbs pipped Ukraine legend Andriy Shevchenko to victory in the celebrity pro-am on countback with a winning score of 38 stableford points. The first round of the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship starts at 7.30am with Englishman David Salisbury getting play under way. Host Colin Montgomerie and his playing partner and fellow European Ryder Cup legend Paul McGinley tee off at 8.25am. Aberdeen's Paul Lawrie, the 1999 Open champion, tees off at 1.36pm alongside Englishman Anthony Wall.
