Jack Butland dives to save Oh's penalty

FORMER Celtic striker Oh Hyeon-gyu scored after missing an earlier penalty as Genk beat 10-man Rangers 1-0 in their Europa League opener at Ibrox to put beleaguered gaffer Russell Martin back under the spotlight.

The Belgian visitors struck the woodwork in the first half before Gers midfielder Mohamed Diomande was deservedly shown a straight red card in the 41st minute for his challenge on Zakaria El Ouahdi.

In added time Gers keeper Jack Butland saved a penalty from Oh, who missed a series of chances before he eventually opened the scoring in the 55th minute with a close-range finish, which proved to be the winner.

The 2-0 win over Hibernian at the weekend gave under-fire Martin some much-needed respite, but it was a case of one step forward, two back and again the fans turned on him at the final whistle.
