ROMA CANTER IN ONE-HORSE RACE

All too easy again as Gers fans turn ire on Thelwell & Stewart

- BY RONNIE ESPLIN

RANGERS' Europa League troubles continued with a 2-0 defeat by a superior Roma side at Ibrox.

Head coach Danny Rohl's tenure began with a 3-0 loss away to Brann last month and it was a similar story against the Italian heavyweights to make it four defeats out of four in the competition.

Following the 3-1 Premier Sports Cup semifinal defeat by Celtic at Hampden Park on Sunday, the Gers' limitations were again laid bare as Matias Soule and Lorenzo Pellegrini had the visitors two up after 36 minutes of Roma control.

The gap in quality could not be bridged as Gers fans again turned their ire on sporting director Kevin Thelwell and chief executive Patrick Stewart in the second half which was shorn of real intensity.
