A disastrous first half in Limassol couldn't be salvaged as Steven Davis' reign got off to a nightmare start against Aris Limassol
Rangers had beaten Real Betis to get their Europa League campaign up and running, Michael Beale had given himself some breathing space and it seemed like things were about to get back on track at Ibrox. Fast forward a fortnight and Beale is gone, they are seven points behind Celtic in the Premiership and caretaker boss Steven Davis' first game in charge ended in a 2-1 defeat away to group minnows Aris Limassol.
Politis The Cypriot outlet referenced the 'heavy' jerseyof Rangers and it;s certainly weighing on the current crop after another bad result. They wrote: "Aris achieved its historic first victory in a European group game in the first game of such a phase hosted at "Alphamega Stadium", beating Rangers 2-1 for the 2nd matchday of the Europa League!
Philelftheros The Cypriot daily hailed a "historic win" over the gers that could have been by a bigger margin. They wrote: "The last thing on the mind of the Mars edifice after the great and historic victory over Rangers is the financial benefit of success. However, the fact that in the 90's the Cypriot champions paid big - big for the contract of the highest paid football player in the league says a lot.
