Roma Outclasses Rangers in Crucial Europa League Clash
The atmosphere at Ibrox turned toxic as Rangers suffered a crushing 2-0 defeat to Roma, leaving the Scottish side winless and bottom of their Europa League group. The loss marks Rangers’ fourth consecutive defeat in the competition, intensifying pressure on manager Danny Röhl and the club’s board.
Early Goals Sink Rangers’ Hopes
Roma wasted no time asserting their dominance.
Matias Soulé opened the scoring, capitalizing on a pinpoint pass from Bryan Cristante to put the visitors ahead. The blow was compounded before halftime when
Lorenzo Pellegrini curled in a second, exploiting a lapse in the Rangers’ defense.
By the break, the mood among the home fans had soured. Boos echoed around the stadium, and banners criticizing the club’s leadership were unfurled—a clear sign of growing unrest in the stands.
Rangers’ Europa League Nightmare Continues
This latest defeat leaves Rangers as one of only two teams in the competition yet to register a single point.

The team’s struggles come on the heels of a painful League Cup loss to Celtic, further fueling fan frustration.
Fan Backlash and Boardroom Tensions
The Ibrox faithful made their feelings known, directing their anger not just at the players but at the club’s hierarchy. The banners and boos signal a deepening rift between supporters and the board, with many demanding urgent changes to halt the club’s decline.
