Malmo 0-2 Rangers: ‘Perfect’ start, but can Rangers keep going?

For all the positive play, Rangers’ most glaring flaw in Malmo was their lack of ruthless lead, something that also dogged them last season.

In the end it didn’t matter, such was their dominance and the Swedes’ lack of bite at the other end.

But Kasanwirjo, Dessers and Vaclav Cerny missed golden opportunities and there were others who should have been sent off.

Clement says they will “keep working” on their final product and highlighted the fact that winger Ross McCausland scored the second goal with his weaker left foot, having worked tirelessly to improve his technique.

Ally McCoist, who knows a thing or two about finishing, said the Rangers’ play in front of goal “has to improve.”

“They weren’t half chances,” the former Rangers striker said on TNT Sports. “They were great opportunities to score and put the game beyond doubt.

“You might get away with it in some games in Scotland and very occasionally in Europe. But not against the best teams.

“It may seem harsh to talk about missed opportunities when Rangers have played so well, but it has to improve.”
