After the euphoria of their accession to the third qualifying round of the Champions League, the Servettiens feared the Scottish shower. A rout in the hell of the Ibrox Stadium which would have made the sold-out return match on Tuesday August 15 in Geneva an empty meeting as an egg. Despite cold sweats at the start of the match, where they were very quickly down 2-0, the Garnet managed the essentials, finally losing only 2-1 and preserving the interest of the return match. More than the score, it is the once once more demonstrated ability of this team to overcome adversity that gives reason for hope.
Clumsiness? Diabolism? Superstition? Servette managed to start the game as badly as last week in Genk. After five minutes, midfielder David Douline, slow to get a ball out of his penalty area, did not see Todd Cantwell rushing at him and committed irreparable damage by trying to clear far ahead. At least he was not expelled immediately, like Enzo Crivelli in Belgium. James Tavernier transformed the penalty and sounded happy hour for Rangers (1-0).
