Thelwell and Stewart are out the door and now Gers look like Europa League goners

ANDREW CAVENAGH gave his best Alan Sugar impression when he told Kevin Thelwell and Patrick Stewart: You're fired!

But his new boss Danny Rohl has an almighty job on his hand if he's to save Rangers from getting their Europa League jotters too.

The Light Blues thought they were on course for their first win of the competition after finding themselves a goal and a man up on Braga with an hour played.

But a team that made the quarterfinals last term are now in serious danger of being dismissed from the tournament early after failing to hold on against the Portuguese side's 10 men.

Ten points was enough to clinch a place in the knockout rounds last year but to hit that mark, Rohl's side are going to have to win all three of their remaining games against Ferencvaros, Ludogorets and Porto.

Over in America, it was Donald Trump who used to run the rule over the Apprentices. But the reality here in Glasgow is that the club's new Stateside owners are still nowhere nearer to Making Rangers Great Again.

They had a precious win in their hands when James Tavernier stroked home a penalty right on halftime.

Their odds increased further when Uruguayan hothead Rodrigo Zalazar got himself sent off for an off-the-ball headbutt on Nico Raskin.

But a brutal mistake from Nasser Djiga as he panicked under a swirling wind allowed Gabri Martinez to fire home the equaliser.
