There were a few winces when Rangers were drawn out of the hat in the proverbial group of death, and they have been vindicated by the opening three games. Last season's run to the Europa League Final was all glitz and clamour but in the Champions League, it's three games, no points and not even a goal to their name.
The inquest was under way at San Siro and Gareth Southgate knew the questions would be direct. It had been one of those bad England nights when the team looked static, unable to build with the ball, the connections elusive.

Andre Villas-Boas spoke to TOI exclusively about his roller-coaster journeyFar from flaunting that constant frown while manning the technical area at the Stamford Bridge or White Hart Lane, Andre Villas-Boas now wears a relaxed and happy smile.
