Brann 3-0 Rangers UEFA Europa League result - Glasgow giants plunder to bottom after heavy loss in first game under Danny Rohl

"It was painful at times to watch, to have one shot on target against the lowest seeded team in the competition is really poor," Alan Hutton said on TNT Sports.

"Defensively, [it's the] same old, we've seen it all season. They tried to be narrow but gaps appeared from everywhere.

"I think this goes deeper than mangers. I know Russell Martin didn't work out, but you can't judge Danny Rohl over one game. It's going to take time.

"But it's more than that, the recruitment's the big issue for me, it was crying out at the start of the season to get experience, to get leaders within that dressing room.

"They didn't, they went down a different avenue, it didn't work out and look where they are right now."

There was optimism as Rangers fans sang Danny Rohl’s name before the match in Brann, but 90 minutes later it was clear how much of a job he has on his hands.

Rangers started quite well, but as the game went on Brann looked by far the better team, with the visitors never threatening after Brann’s opener from Emil Kornvig - a result of embarrassing defending where Bard Finne was totally free from the halfway line to run into the area and, with a bit of fortune, set up his team-mate to score.

The second came ten minutes after the break when Jacob Sorensen, unmarked, glancing home a free kick.

A third goal came with a fine strike from Noah Holm, taking the ball down on his chest and drilling a half-volley into the net.

Rangers now lie 36th and bottom of the Europa League after three defeats in as many games.

Rangers are rock bottom of the Europa League.

Dyngelund punched a corner out of the six-yard box but Barron could not direct his left-footed effort on target.

The right back clips a nice free kick into the box, but Souttar hesitates, meaning he doesn't get there in time and the ball goes out for a goal kick.

And a big hug from his manager. He is replaced by Remmem.

A classy finish from the talented Brann spearhead, taking down a cross from the left flank on his chest and dispatching home on the half-volley.

De Roeve and goalscorer Sorensen are replaced by Sande and Hansen.

A silly challenge, almost a clothesline, from Souttar on Gudmundsson.

Cornelius and Danilo come on for Djiga and Chermiti.

He is cautioned for a foul on Miovski and VAR checked whether it was worth upgrading to a red - ultimately deciding not to do so.

But his left-footed effort is blocked.

Haaland and Pedersen replace Finne and Mathisen.

Rothwell and Aasgard come off with Miovski and Barron coming on.

Meghoma's cross from he left flank finds the substitute on the half-volley but it flies over the bar.

Rangers' first change of the game.

A free header for Sorensen as he runs on to flick Finne's inswinging free kick and though his connection isn't strong it brushes his shoulder and flies into the corner past Butland.

But the referee blows up for a free kick for his push on Souttar.

Whatever Rohl's words were, they do not seem to have put any fire into the Rangers players.
