"Rangers suffered a fourth straight defeat to open their Europa League campaign after being swept aside 2-0 by Roma at Ibrox. The Scottish giants' dour run in Europe continued as Danny Rohl followed up a 3-0 defeat to Brann in his first game in charge with another disappointing result on Thursday. Rohl had built some optimism with back-to-back domestic wins over Kilmarnock and Hibernian, but he clearly has more work to do after this defeat and losing to Celtic in the Scottish League Cup semi-finals."
"The Serie A side needed just 13 minutes to open the scoring as Matias Soule bundled home from Bryan Cristante's flick-on after Lorenzo Pellegrini's corner delivery. Youssef Chermiti then wasted a glorious opportunity to equalise, and that miss proved costly when Artem Dovbyk squared for Pellegrini to convert nine minutes before half-time. Gianluca Mancini brilliantly denied Mikey Moore to keep Roma's two-goal lead intact, while Chermiti spurned another golden chance by hitting the side-netting early in the second half."
Rangers lost 2-0 to Roma at Ibrox, opening their Europa League campaign with a fourth straight defeat. Danny Rohl's side followed a 3-0 loss to Brann and a Scottish League Cup semi-final defeat by Celtic, despite recent domestic wins over Kilmarnock and Hibernian. Roma scored through Matias Soule and Lorenzo Pellegrini, with key chances missed by Youssef Chermiti and Mikey Moore denied by Gianluca Mancini. Rangers remain pointless and bottom of the 36-team group, while Roma rose to 18th. Rangers have lost seven consecutive European matches, and Roma registered 2.03 expected goals (xG).
