FIVE TALKING POINTS

BY ANDY NEWPORT
Butland and Nasser Djiga presented the Belgians with a gift of a breakthrough three minutes in.
A team that was sure of itself would have brushed off that blunder and got back down to business.
But Rangers are a long way off being sound of character and so compounded the calamitous mistake by handing Brugge two more goals.
Martin acknowledged there was a fragility about his side the other night.
That is why he has been so keen to sit his men down and try to get inside their minds during a string of small-numbered sitdowns.
He’s hoping these talks will reassure those needing a bit of TLC and gee up who perhaps need a sterner word in the ear.
But whether it’s the carrot or the stick, Martin needs a big response sharpish.
