Rangers suffered a 2-1 Europa League defeat to Sturm Graz, with manager Russell Martin attributing the loss to mentality issues rather than tactics.
Early goals from Tomi Horvat and a defensive error left Rangers chasing, despite Djeidi Gassama's reply.
Martin, echoing comments from two months ago after a Motherwell draw, said the team hurt themselves with soft goals despite recent defensive work.
He noted a stark difference between the first half-hour and the rest, citing concentration lapses.
Defender Derek Cornelius admitted naivety and inconsistent focus, urging a reaction.
Fans expressed frustration, with some calling for Martin's sacking, citing disconnect and poor tactics.
Protests highlight ongoing Ibrox problems, with only five wins in 16 games.
Martin defended the post-half-time changes but lamented self-inflicted errors.
Former player Alan Hutton called the defending schoolboy stuff.
The loss follows a weekend win at Livingston but continues a pattern of slow starts.
Supporters like David and Steve voiced disillusionment, predicting low attendance next.
Martin's post-match comments drew criticism for blaming players instead of tactics.
Rangers now face mounting pressure to turn around their season.
