Ferencvaros Sink Rangers 2-1 as VAR Dispute and Fragile Defending Leave Europa Push in Peril

The defeat leaves Rangers needing unlikely results to progress after Ferencvaros extended their Europa League unbeaten run under Robbie Keane.

Overview

  • Bojan Miovski’s overhead finish was initially flagged offside before VAR awarded the goal, a decision Keane argued was incorrect and said Rangers did not merit.
  • Bence Otvos equalised in first-half stoppage time and Barnabas Varga headed the winner after lax marking to complete the turnaround in Budapest.
  • Danny Rohl criticised the manner of the goals conceded, while centre-back Emmanuel Fernandez drew strong fan and pundit backlash for his role in Varga’s strike.
  • Rangers have one point from six league-stage matches and now require wins over Ludogorets and Porto plus favourable results elsewhere to retain any chance of advancing.
  • Ferencvaros remain unbeaten through six games and strengthened their top-eight bid as Keane praised a dominant performance from his side.
