Rangers are eliminated from the UEFA Europa Conference League after a shootout defeat by Czech club Jablonec. Rangers win 1-0 in the first leg at Ibrox, but lose 1-0 in the return match in Czechia, keeping the tie level at 1-1 on aggregate and sending it to a penalty shootout. Jablonec then win the shootout 4-3, ending Rangers’ European campaign.
The outlets describe Rangers’ second-leg performance as subdued, with the Guardian noting a lack of creativity and reporting manager Derek McInnes reacts to the early exit with frustration. Yahoo adds that the elimination comes shortly after Celtic’s prior Champions League qualifying defeat. Free Malaysia Today similarly focuses on the same overall result—Rangers fail to progress despite their first-leg advantage—while separately noting Brighton’s progression in their own competition.
