Overview

• The 6-0 second-leg defeat in Belgium sealed a 9-1 aggregate exit from Champions League qualifying, sending Rangers into the Europa League.
• The tie collapsed inside 10 minutes as Nicolo Tresoldi scored and Max Aarons was sent off, with Brugge leading 5-0 by half-time.
• Martin apologised, called the loss humiliating, and said the squad lacks harmony and fight, while vowing a response against Celtic.
• Sky Sports reports the Ibrox board has backed Martin to lead Sunday’s derby despite just three wins in his first 10 games, the worst start by a permanent Rangers manager.
• Supporter anger intensified with chants, a banner at Ibrox demanding change, and the Rangers Supporters Association publicly urging the club to sack him; defeat on Sunday could widen the league gap to nine points.
