It was obvious why Martin was not happy. In Plzen, the Ranger accepted 27 shots, 21 of them coming out of the area of their punishment.
As a result, the Czech side ended with the expected goals rate of 3.31, with Butland making the eighth rescue, with the one who reject Prince Adu really the world class.
Considering the first performance of the Ranger’s first leg, a single show and a 3-0 overall shot can be forgiven from the final result.
But early in the season, it has been an example. Ranger have accepted 97 shots in their six games so far, an average of 16 per game.
He had Plzen, Panithinaikos, Motherwell, or even Dundee was a more clinic then it could be a different story in this natural campaign.
“Plzen had four positions 100% and took one of them – and they all came out of Ranger’s mistakes,” former Ranger midfielder Ian McCall said on Sportsound.
“They were shoddy and shabby, but the game name goes into the next round.
“There is a lot of money at risk, and they will get a chance. But they will need to defend the best in terms of not getting the ball away from dangerous areas.”
