Head coach Fabian Hurzeler was left frustrated by poor finishing after Brighton were held to a surprise goalless Conference League draw away against Jablonec. The disappointing stalemate in the Czech Republic brought an abrupt end to the impressive six-match winning streak the Premier League outfit had built up across all competitions this season.
Rangers manager Derek McInnes admitted he was deeply "embarrassed" after the Scottish giants suffered a humiliating penalty shootout elimination against Czech underdogs Jablonec in the Conference League play-offs. The shock defeat compounded a miserable week for Scottish football following arch-rivals Celtic's Champions League qualifying collapse.
