The Story in 60 Seconds

Rangers loanee Thelo Aasgaard received heavy criticism from the Norwegian media following his performance in Norway's 2-1 defeat against Wales. Playing 45 minutes as a second-half substitute, the 24-year-old failed to create any chances, completed just six passes, and recorded zero percent shot and crossing accuracy. Outlets including Dagbladet, NRK, and Nettavisen handed him ratings between 4/10 and 5/10 for his underwhelming display.

Writer Jacob Raw notes that Aasgaard was loaned to Belgian club Anderlecht after falling out of favor in Derek McInnes' 4-4-2 setup at Ibrox. Anderlecht reportedly hold a £6 million buy option, but the attacker has yet to register a goal contribution in three appearances this season.
