Rangers suffered a second successive Europa League defeat, going down 2-1 to Sturm Graz in Austria, to keep the pressure on head coach Russell Martin.
Two goals down at half-time after poor defensive lapses, Rangers showed fighting spirit in the second half but were unable to recover the damage.
Slovenia striker Tomi Horvat put the hosts ahead after just seven minutes and, after Rangers forward Youssef Chermiti hit the woodwork, Georgia midfielder Otar Kiteishvili drove in a second in the 35th minute and Jurgen Saumel’s side were good for their lead.
However, Gers wide man Djeidi Gassama made it 2-1 four minutes after the break with a terrific strike and offered hope for the Govan outfit, but the comeback could not be completed and, after just five wins in 16 games, the pressure remains firmly on Martin.
Here is how The Scotsman rated each Rangers player out of 10 for their performance...
9. Djeidi Gassama
Head and shoulders above his Rangers team-mates in the first-half when he was the only threat. The winger is saving his best displays for Europe with his superb solo goal early in the second half his fifth on the continent this season. Had the Sturm Graz full-back on toast all game. 8 | APA/AFP via Getty Images
10. Youssef Chermiti
More involved in the play than in his previous Rangers appearances but his half-hearted attempt to challenge for a throw-in allowed Graz to open the scoring. There were moments and glimpses of potential, but more is expected from an £8.5million striker. Four attempts on goal, the best of which was a header which rattled the crossbar. 6 | APA/AFP via Getty Images
11. Oliver Antman
The Finnish winger did not offer enough in his 45 minutes on the park before being hooked at half-time. Seemed scared to take on his man. Constantly cut inside into traffic which more often than not ended with possession being lost. 4 | APA/AFP via Getty Images
12. Bojan Miovski
The North Macedonian came on at half-time, but aside from a couple of flick-ons, it is difficult to pinpoint any positive contributions of note. Disappointing. 4 | APA/AFP via Getty Images
