Rangers 2-2 CLUB BRUGGE: GERS BATTLE to take advantage of the first friendly from Russian Martin Era | Football news

Rangers resisted 2-2 at home on Bruges in the first friendly before the Russell Martin season on Sunday.

In front of a crowd of 29,480, Geers struggled early and was 2-0 to the Belgian contestants last season within 13 minutes.

But a wonderful blow from the alternative Mohamed Daymandhi early in the second half gave them a foothold before the Finlay Curtis settled in the 89th minute.

Martin’s recently appointed manager, who was applauded by home supporting when he walked on the field during the warm -up, included only one of the five summer signatures of GERS at the beginning of the eleventh made by Connor Baron.

Max Arons began in the right back on Bournemouth laws for an hour, while the midfielder Emmanuel Fernandez came over the past thirty minutes after arriving from Peterpuro in a four -year contract earlier this week.

They did not play any part of the three new recruits in Rangers, Joe Rothuel, Layal Cameron, Thelo Asgard, but they got to know the crowd at the end of the first half.

The battles Hamza Agaman and Sereil Deson did not participate, both of whom were nominated to leave amid attention from another place, while the main defender John Sotar saw the side lines recovering from hernia surgery.

Jeers, who returned to pre -season training for two weeks, started their attempt to qualify for the Champions League on Tuesday when they hosted Panathenikos in the first stage of the second round tie.

Martin refuses to be drawn on Vardi links

Martin refused to be attracted to the reports linking Rangers to move in favor of the former England striker and Leicester Jimmy Vardi.

The 38 -year -old striker, who saw a move to Genoa falling, was now highly promoted to switch to IBrox after leaving foxes at the end of last season.

Martin remained shy, but he refused to possibly when he was asked whether Vardi was a goal this summer.

“I think I was asked about many players,” he said. “Some miles away, some of them on money. So, I will not give you an answer to that.

“But I think you will discover who is real and not in the next few weeks.”
