Michael Beale needs Rolex Rangers display in Geneva or alarm bells will be ringing out | AndyNewportDR
It's eight years since Servette were bailed out of financial danger by the generosity of Rolex's bosses.
But just as Rangers looked in full command, a momentary lapse in concentration allowed Servette a lifeline they really didn't deserve. Dessers could have all but repaid the £4.5million it cost to lure him from Italy by helping plant one foot in the Champions League play-offs. However, a crazy handball from the former Cremonese striker allowed Chris Bedia to pull one back from the penalty spot just before half-time.
John Lundstram, Kieran Dowell and Abdallah Sima were the fall guys as Cantwell reclaimed a starting place. It is a mistake Beale won't be making again any time soon as he placed himself at the heart of everything positive Rangers did. Ryan Jack also came into the midfield while Danilo registered his first start alongside Dessers and Sam Lammers as Beale's new £15million frontline was rolled out in full.
Tavernier wasn't missing this spot-kick as he clipped down the middle. Ten minutes later is was 2-0. John Souttar charged past a couple of challenges to find Borna Barisic. Danilo couldn't connect with his cross at the front post but there was no way Dessers was missing as he kneed the ball over the line.
