US EditionSturm Graz Vs Rangers, UEFA Europa League 2025-26: Gers Suffer More Misery As Pressure Mounts On Russell Martin
Rangers remain without points after two Europa League games, conceding 60 goals in 44 matches this year, their worst defensive record since 1961, increasing pressure on manager Russell Martin.
- At Merkur Arena, SK Sturm Graz beat Glasgow Rangers 2-1 in the Europa League, leaving Rangers winless after their first two games.
- Sloppy defending cost Glasgow Rangers early, conceding after seven minutes from a throw-in and suffering a second from a free-kick through-ball amid 2025 defensive woes.
- Djeidi Gassama's 49th-minute strike briefly gave Rangers hope, but Oliver Christensen, Sturm Graz goalkeeper, denied John Souttar and Jack Butland in the 89th minute, with Youssef Chermiti forcing big saves.
- The loss increased pressure on Russell Martin as supporters confronted Patrick Stewart and Kevin Thelwell, though Martin will probably get at least one more match before Rangers travel to Falkirk on Sunday.
- Sitting eighth in the Scottish Premiership, Ally McCoist urged a long winning run, saying `The only way that Russell can get through it, it's not rocket science, he has just got to win games`.
