'Brave' Servette

Servette football club is being praised by pundits after last nights’ Champions League match in Glasgow.

Servette did lose, 2-1 against Rangers at Ibrox Park. 

But commentators say the team showed it can stand up against a major club and the return leg at the Stade de Genève will be a true nail-biter. 

The Geneva team is being described as ‘brave’ by the local press as the large Scottish crowd booed while Servette player Chris Bedia scored a penalty in the 43rd minute. 

Rangers will be in Geneva on Tuesday. The game is already sold out.
