Nine-man Rangers crashed out of the Europa League after a 2-0 home loss to Slavia Prague, exiting Europe’s second-tier competition 1-3 on aggregate.
Steven Gerrard’s side may have held a slight advantage after drawing the first leg 1-1 in the Czech capital last week, that is until Peter Olayinka headed the visitors ahead after 17 minutes.
Rangers’ task was then made even harder when substitute Kemar Roofe was shown a straight red card just minutes after coming on for a high boot on Slavia goalkeeper Ondrej Kolar, who was stretched off on the hour-mark.
And when Leon Balogun was also sent off with 17 minutes to go after picking up a second yellow card, with Nicolae Stanciu immediately pushing the hosts even further by converting the resulting free-kick, Rangers knew the game was up.
More to follow shortly…
