Manager Derek McInnes has expressed his deep frustration, stating he takes “full responsibility” for what he described as an “embarrassing” Conference League exit at the hands of Jablonec. Rangers entered the second leg of the play-off in the Czech Republic with a 1-0 aggregate lead, but ultimately exited the competition after a 4-3 loss on penalties this Thursday.
The defeat marks a significant disappointment for the club, as they held an early advantage during the shootout. However, the momentum shifted when Findlay Curtis and James Penrice missed their final two spot-kicks, sealing the team’s fate.
This result means Rangers will be without European football beyond August for the first time since 2017, when they suffered a 2-1 aggregate defeat to Progres Niederkorn in the Europa League first qualifying round. The report also notes that analysis and fan views, latest Rangers news.
