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.

Was given more space to do something with the ball than his centre-back partner but failed. Looked suspect defensively too. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group

Been so important in these big games since returning to the club, but was found wanting tonight. Too often caught in possesion. Photo: Rob Casey - SNS Group

Too many square passes and didn't cover himself in glory at either goal. Did look better in the No.6 role after Steven Davis went off. Maybe Rangers' best midfielder on the night. Photo: Rob Casey - SNS Group

Barely in the game. Did not show up with the required intensity at all. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
