Union Saint-Gilloise 2-0 Rangers LIVE RESULT: Controversial VAR penalty leaves Gers on Champions League brink

Subtle Sutton

Ex-Celtic player Chris Sutton couldn't resist a dig at his rivals after their loss this evening.

Van Bronckhorst surprised at performance

In his post-match interview, the Rangers boss discussed his side's defeat:

The performance today was really poor. We were never really in the game, key mistakes, giving transitional moments away. Luckily it was only 2-0. I was surprised he gave a penalty, but it was given. We need to change it around on Tuesday and we need to change it around big time. We looked like we weren’t comfortable on the ball and that surprised me. We lost together today. We are still in the tie.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst

The last Mc-Laugh

Rangers keeper Jon McLaughlin has been blamed for USG's first goal after Teumo's shot was straight at him. The 34-year-old appeared to fumble the ball as it bounced off him and into the net.

However, McLaughlin did make a couple of key saves towards the end of the game that just about keep his side in the tie.

VAR from a penalty

USG's second goal came from the penalty spot, but the awarding of it has caused plenty of controversy.

On the replays the ball looks to deflect off a Rangers defender and on to Goldson's arm from just a yard away.

VAR under fire again.

Bronckhorst beaten

Rangers boss Bronckhorst looked disappointed for large periods of the game this evening.

His first substitution came in the 67th minute. Fans may point the finger, suggesting he should have made changes sooner.

The Dutchman has serious work to do if he's to turn this tie around next week.

Well deserved win

USG didn't look like a team who had never played Champions League football before. The Belgian side were positive in their play, creating a number of chances which the visitors were unable to keep out.

On the other hand, Rangers were very flat and never really got going. They lacked bite in attack, whilst looking shaky at the back.
