NEW ROHL, SAME OLD STORY

Gers are Europa dopes after falling to last place in league

- BY RONNIE ESPLIN

DANNY ROHL discovered Rangers’ problems run deeper than former boss Russell Martin as the Light Blues were blitzed by Brann in Bergen.

The 36-year-old German head coach was installed as Martin's successor on Monday with the Gers sitting sixth in the Premiership having lost their opening two league phase games in the Europa League to Genk and Sturm Graz.

However, a new era at Rangers continued along familiar lines when they lost 3-0 to a side third in the Norwegian top flight.

Emil Kornvig scored five minutes before the break to give Freyr Alexandersson's side a deserved lead at the interval, Jacob Sorensen added a second after 55 minutes with Noah Holm firing in a tie-ending third in 79 minutes, on a night when the beleaguered Light Blues again performed to an embarrassingly low standard, and now sit pointless.

It seems there will be no quick fix for Gers fans desperate to see the Ibrox club shake themselves out of their lethargy.
