Gio van Bronckhorst's Rangers style in contrast to Angeball as Celtic pace leaves Light Blues chasing

Celtic have left Rangers in the dust when it comes to a key stat in their respective Champions League campaigns.

It's been a disappointing stint at the elite table of European football for both Glasgow clubs. Ange Postecoglou's Hoops have won plaudits for their style of play but a lack of cutting edge has them finishing bottom of Group F behind Real Madrid, RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk, with the latter where Celtic picked up two points with draws.

Rangers meanwhile have picked up an unwanted of being the 'worst-ever' side in the competition's history after coming last in Group A after scoring twice with 22 conceded against Napoli, Liverpool and Ajax. Stats from Opta have provided a peek at Team Style's, with the metrics based off direct speed upfield (m/s) and passes per sequence. It's the Light Blues who have been left to rue a slow style of play in Europe.
