Servette will be without one of their main men against Rangers after a stunning penalty shoot-out win over Genk. Enzo Crivelli was sent off after just FIVE minutes of the Champions League second qualifying round second leg encounter, leaving the Swiss up against it.

His heavy challenge on Genk skipper Bryan Heynen was initially deemed worth of a booking by referee Novak Simovic. But after a second look on the VAR screen, Crivelli was given his marching orders.

Heynan would have likely missed the game had his side progressed as he was stretchered off as a result of Crivelli's tackle That means the 28-year-old will miss next week’s third qualifying round first leg at Ibrox.

Regardless of their heroics in Belgium, the frontman's absence will come as a blow to Rene Weiler’s side, who produced a backs to the wall performance to take their hosts all the way to penalties before dumping them out and setting up a trip to Ibrox to face Michael Beale's men.
