Rangers’ miserable start to the season continued with a 1-1 draw at Ibrox against Polish side Jagiellonia Bialystock on Thursday which sends them crashing out of the Europa League in the third qualifying round.
Trailing 2-1 after the first leg, the Scottish side began brightly and, after international striker Lawrence Shankland scored his first goal for his boyhood club from the penalty spot, they had the better of the first half.
New manager Derek McInnes, however, rang the changes in the second half which appeared to destabilise his side.
After 65 minutes, the Poles were level on the night and 3-2 up on aggregate when Nik Prelec outjumped two defenders at the back post to power in a cross from Anders Klynge.
