Winless Run Continues for Sloppy Rangers

Rangers have not won in their first three league games for the first time since 1989, facing criticism as they prepare for crucial Champions League and Old Firm matches.

  • Rangers have failed to win any of their opening three league matches this season for the first time since 1989, and they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Club Brugge in the Champions League qualifier held in Glasgow.
  • This poor start results from a demanding squad overhaul under manager Russell Martin, amid tactical criticism and amplified scrutiny after disappointing domestic and European performances.
  • St Mirren have capitalized on Rangers’ struggles, securing a historic first win at Ibrox since 1991 and earning back-to-back victories over Rangers for the first time since 1979-80.
  • Critics, including Mark Rankin describing Rangers' play as "dreadful," and Kris Boyd calling the team 'powder-puff' with 'zero energy,' highlight defensive vulnerabilities and question Martin’s approach and coaching staff.
  • With a 3-1 deficit to overcome on Wednesday against Club Brugge and a daunting Old Firm clash next Sunday, Rangers face mounting pressure to win and reverse their downward trajectory.
