Belgian legend claims Rangers were 'lucky' in crushing Club Brugge loss

Belgian legend Marc Degryse reckons Rangers were lucky not to have lost double figures against Club Brugge.

Rangers crashed to a humiliating disaster in Belgium as their Champions League dream ended with a 6-0 thrashing.

Manager Russell Martin is now under serious pressure ahead of Rangers' crunch Old Firm showdown on Sunday.

And 63-times capped former Club Brugge and Anderlecht ace Degryse, who is now a TV analyst, couldn't believe how bad Rangers were.

He said: "I said at half time this could easily be a 10-0 scoreline for Club Brugge and in the end, Rangers were lucky it was not.

"Club Brugge were absolutely excellent, although their opponents were very poor indeed.

"But make no mistake about it, this result will go around Europe and make people sit up.

"They completely crushed the Scots and it was all over after a few minutes."

And Club Brugge two-goal hero Joaquin Seys admitted he couldn't believe how easy it was for them.

He said: "It was a much easier evening than we expected.

"I can honestly say the first half was the best we have ever played as a team. We have played well before but really, that was exceptional.

"Now I want to get Real Madrid in the draw. It's always been a dream of mine."
