Rangers player ratings as anonymous Antonio Colak flops in Champions League nightmare

Rangers Champions League group stage hopes were dealt a hammer blow as they fell to a 2-0 defeat to Union Saint Gilloise. The Ibrox side were looking to build on their memorable run to the Europa League Final last season but now face an uphill battle to dine at Europe's top table.

Teddy Teuma gave the Belgian side a half time lead before Dante Vanzeir doubled the lead from the spot after Connor Goldson was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box. And it could've been more if it wasn't for a huge Jon McLaughlin save and a late block from James Tavernier.

Giovanni Van Bronckhorst opted to start a whole new front three but neither Antonio Colak, Rabbi Matondo or Malik Tillman could step up in the absence of the likes of Alfredo Morelos, Kemar Roofe and Ryan Kent. It was a disappointing night for the Light Blues and here is how Record Sport rated the Rangers players.

JON McLAUGHLIN : Given a big show of faith by Van Bronckhorst as he started this crucial clash but allowed the opener to squirm through his hands. Vital save to prevent Union going three up at least keeps the tie alive. 5

JAMES TAVERNIER : Had to scramble clear at the back post as Borna Barisic was caught ball-watching. Unable to make his usual deep raids as the Belgians pressed him high and early. Sloppy in possession like a host of his team-mates. 6

JOHN LUNDSTRAM : Started brightly in a role to the right of the back three, confidently taking the ball and starting attacks. But as the players in front of him repeatedly gave away possession he spent more time having to firefight. 6

CONNOR GOLDSON : The Englishman gave away the spot-kick which leaves Gers’ Champions League hopes hanging by a thread after his hand-ball on a Teuma strike was picked up
