Rangers vs Panathinaikos player ratings: 8/10 rescue act, the visionary, dream debut and drowsy display
@Source: scotsman.com
Rangers will go into next week’s Champions League second leg qualifier with the advantage after a pair thunderous strikes helped them secure a 2-0 win over 10-man Panathinaikos at Ibrox. Despite home goalkeeper Jack Butland being forced into numerous saves in the opening throws of the game, it was 18-year-old Curtis that swung the game in Rangers favour, smashing smashed home from long range in the 52nd minute to secure a narrow win on Russell Martin’s first competitive game in charge of the Glasgow giants. Panathinaikos were dealt an even bigger blow just six minutes after Curtis’ strike when midfielder Georgios Vagiannidis was sent off for his second booking of the game, and the Light Blues took full advantage when debutant Djeidi Gassama lashed home with his first touch of the ball. Rangers will now take a short break from competitive action as they return to Ibrox this weekend to face EFL Championship promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough as part of their pre-season schedule, before they head to Athens for next week’s second leg against Rui Vitória’s side on Wednesday 30 July. Here’s how The Scotsman rated the performance of each Rangers player in the 2-0 against Panathinaikos at Ibrox
