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.
Derek McInnes's tenure as Rangers manager has descended into early-season turmoil after the Light Blues were dumped out of the Europa League qualifiers by Jagiellonia Bialystok. A 1-1 draw on a toxic night at Ibrox confirmed a 3-2 aggregate defeat, leaving the Glasgow giants to settle for a place in the Conference League play-offs.
Rangers are a “bigger club than Tottenham”, Colin Hendry has told GOAL, but the Old Firm giants face transfer frustration when it comes to bringing Mikey Moore back to Ibrox for a second spell. The teenage wonderkid impressed many in Glasgow last season, but Spurs are seemingly set to send him elsewhere before the summer deadline of 2026 passes.
