Rangers eliminated from Conference League on penalties

Overview

Rangers have been eliminated from the UEFA Conference League following a 1–1 aggregate draw against FK Jablonec, losing 4–3 in a penalty shootout at Stadion Strelnice. After securing a 1–0 lead in the first leg at Ibrox, Rangers were unable to hold the advantage as Vakhtang Tchanturishvili equalized for the Czech side in the 73rd minute.

During the shootout, Findlay Curtis missed his attempt and James Penrice was denied by goalkeeper Jan Hanus, allowing Jan Chramosta to score the decisive penalty for Jablonec. This victory secures a historic advancement for Jablonec to the group stage, where they will face Brighton, Lugano, and Trabzonspor.

For Rangers, the defeat marks the first time since 2017 that the club will finish the month of August without European football. Head coach Derek McInnes expressed significant frustration, stating, “I’m embarrassed with the performance” and adding, “the responsibility is mine to make sure we’re better than what we served up tonight.”

Following the exit, the club's board is reportedly holding an emergency meeting to discuss the ongoing crisis and the future of the management. This exit compounds existing challenges, including a potential touchline ban for McInnes, a long-term injury to Youssef Chermiti, and a period of declining early-season optimism.
