It wasn’t what we’re used to seeing from Steven Gerrard Rangers sides in the Europa League at Ibrox. The hosts were comfortably beaten by their French visitors with Karl Toko Ekambi firing in a terrific 23rd-minute opener to set them on their way.
Rangers had a brief flurry at the end of the first half, but found themselves two goals behind when Connor Goldson’s attempted clearance on the goal-line hit back off captain James Tavernier and bounced over.

2. DR - James Tavernier - 6
Asked some questions going forward but couldn't produce much quality. Unlucky to score an own goal. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group

Put in a couple of threatening deliveries but switched off far too many times defensively. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
4. DC - Connor Goldson - 6
Got an early booking for a stick-on yellow that had to be VAR checked for a possible red. Settled down and was one of his side's better players without being much good. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
