A narrow opening day cinch Premiership defeat to Kilmarnock on the artificial surface atPark was, with their city rials Celtic already haing wrapped up three points earlier, badly receied by their not
oriously demanding supporters.
But this new-look Rangers team suggested they hae the mental strength, tactical nous and technical ability needed to enjoy a decent season at home and abroad by coming from behind, earning a 1-1 draw and preailing 3-2 on aggregate. “We start at 0-0 again and try to win this game,” he said in an interiew with the BBC beforehand. “We take each half in isolation – we try to win the first-half, we reassess at half-time and we go again. We hae picked a strong team for tonight’s game and our focus and concentration needs to be at its maximum.”
That said, they had edged out Genk of Belgium on penalties in the preious round and had the first sell-out crowd inside their 30,000 capacity ground in 20 long years roaring them on. They showed what a dangerous team they were in the eighth minute when they cut open their opponents’ rearguard. Howeer, the former Birmingham City, Stoke City, Leeds United, Crystal Palace, Manchester United and England man has impressed onlookers with his personal displays since moing to this country. He has been the pick of the summer acquisitions so far.He could do absolutely nothing about the shot that Kutesa curled in to the top right corner of his net during the first-half. The winger was gien far too much time and space inside his area after being supplied by Jeremy Guillemenot.
