laughing gravie Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 From BBC Football - Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha apologised to the club's fans for his side's Europa League embarrassment by Luxembourg's Progres Niederkorn. The Ibrox side lost 2-1 on aggregate to crash out in the first qualifier. Their part-time opponents, who are ranked 440th by Uefa, secured their first win in European competition. They now have the same games won record in Europe as RIFC 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They now have the same games won record in Europe as RIFC 2012 To be fair to RIFC 2012, their goal difference of -1 is far superior to that of Niederkorn as they've been getting absolutely rode up and down Europe over the last 40 years whilst waiting to draw an opponent they could ride into oblivion themselves. It's taken a while but eventually The Rangers turned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeJay Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Their coefficient was already embarrassingly low, this result will have kicked it down a lot further. If they manage to scrape top 4 this season, they could well be unseeded next summer, meaning a much tougher first round Europa tie. Rangers would kill for Aberdeen or St Johnstone's coefficient.

Tulloch Gorum Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 See, if only the Angus clubs were merged, this never would have happened. Which on its own is a reason to get at least three more Angus teams in the senior leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 As I half expected having seen the highlights, it seems that this was played at another club's ground. This is the actual home of FCPN, the Stade Jos Haupert: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I would expect a non-OF Scottish team to get beat by a team like this but not Rangers themselves. I think Scottish teams should just play their games 'doon the park' and stick down a couple of jumpers. I'll 'baggsy' going in goals first. This is utter pish.Progres are at the same level as the dross from Wales and NI that were punted into the challenge cup, and comfortably dealt with by half decent Championship sides, with the exception of TNS. I'd be stunned if any side (other than the pea hearted losers from Govan) would lose to Progres in a two-legged tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 This is utter pish.Progres are at the same level as the dross from Wales and NI that were punted into the challenge cup, and comfortably dealt with by half decent Championship sides, with the exception of TNS. And they finished third in our top flight. Although this is primarily The New Clubs disgrace, it doesn't exactly reflect well on Scottish football either.St Johnstone going out tomorrow - as they likely will - would really round off one of the most humiliating weeks for the Scottish league in Europe of all time.
