Rangers 1-4 Unirea Urziceni
Tuesday, 20 October 2009 22:52Rangers suffered a night of humiliation as they crashed to a 4-1 defeat to Unirea Urziceni in the Champions League at Ibrox - just weeks after enduring a similar reverse at the hands of Sevilla.
The drama unfolded amid a catalogue of errors, with the Scottish champions enjoying the best possible start when a Pedro Mendes shot was deflected into the back of his own net by Ricardo Vilana with less than two minutes gone.
The visitors then levelled through Marius Ioan Bilasco before Steven Davis squandered the opportunity to reclaim the lead when his penalty was saved shortly before the break.
There was worse to come for Walter Smith's men in the second half with own-goals from Kyle Lafferty and Lee McCulloch handing Unirea the advantage, before Pablo Brandan completed the rout.
