Guilherme Biteco, the Rangers midfielder on loan from Tai Po, squeezed a shot through the weak defences of Lee Man goalkeeper Chan Ka-ho.
“He still has a feeling for Tai Po, so him scoring and them winning the league is beautiful,” Maxwell Ansah, the Rangers midfielder, said.
There is no love lost between Rangers and Lee Man. When Norman Lee Man-yan, the latter’s president, invested in Rangers for the 2016-17 campaign, the club’s name was changed to Lee Man Rangers, before a host of players switched to the newly formed Lee Man for the following campaign.
The home supporters mischievously chanted Tai Po all afternoon, and, as Lee Man threw caution to the wind in the closing stages, Rangers’ players were visibly gleeful as they cut their opponents to ribbons on the counter-attack. Lau Chi-lok’s doubled wrapped up an emphatic 3-0 win.
Lee said he would sign fewer foreigners for next season than would have been the case had his team secured Asian football. He is in talks with two local managers over the vacant Lee Man position, while the Post was stopped from questioning Chu Siu-kei, the interim boss.
