Genk Edge 10-Man Rangers as Oh Strikes in Europa League Opener

The home defeat intensifies pressure on Russell Martin after the summer’s heavy loss to Club Brugge.

Overview

  • Hyeon-gyu Oh settled the match 1-0 in the second half after seeing a penalty saved by Jack Butland on the stroke of half-time.
  • Rangers played with ten men from first-half stoppage time after Mohammed Diomande received a straight red card for a reckless tackle.
  • Referee Matej Jug used VAR reviews to decline a Rangers handball penalty and later rule out a Genk goal for offside.
  • The setback extends a troubled start under Russell Martin, coming after August’s 9-1 aggregate collapse to Club Brugge.
  • Rangers face league-phase trips to Sturm Graz and Brann next before home fixtures against Roma and Braga.
