Rangers’ nightmare in Belgium reached new lows on Wednesday night as they were dismantled 6-0 by Club Brugge — and one player has become the main target of fury from both his manager and furious supporters.
The Ibrox side collapsed in Bruges, conceding goal after goal in what was one of their worst European defeats in recent memory. But while the entire team struggled, one individual was singled out for an unforgivable performance.
The player in question received the lowest rating of the night — a shocking 4.3 — after a display littered with mistakes, positional lapses, and costly errors that directly contributed to several of Brugge’s goals.
Head coach Russell Martin did not mince his words after the final whistle. Speaking in brutal fashion, he admitted his patience had snapped:
> “His Rangers career is over. You cannot play for this club and perform like that. Tonight was unacceptable, and I won’t allow it to happen again,” Martin said, visibly fuming.
Those words sent shockwaves across the Rangers fanbase, but many supporters were already way ahead of the manager. Social media erupted in rage during and after the game, with furious fans demanding the player never wears the shirt again.
One furious supporter wrote:
“He’s done. Finished. Pack his bags tonight, don’t even let him on the plane back to Glasgow.”
Another added:
“Never seen such a disgraceful performance in Europe. Embarrassing the badge.”
Some even went as far as calling it one of the worst individual performances in Rangers’ history.
The Ibrox faithful, who travelled in numbers to Belgium, booed as the players left the pitch, while online calls for the player’s immediate departure grew louder by the hour.
This latest collapse has piled huge pressure on Russell Martin, but his ruthless post-match stance showed he is ready to make tough decisions. Whether the player in question will be moved on immediately remains to be seen, but after such a humiliating night, his days at Rangers appear all but finished.
