Rangers 1 Ajax 3 LIVE reaction as the captain makes astonishing admission and pundits reel

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The ending of a dour and dismal European tour for Rangers has been summarised with Ajax turning the Light Blues over 3-1 at Ibrox on Tuesday evening.On the final matchday of the Champions League group stage, the Dutch side came in their numbers to secure a Champions League spot - and they went wild after just three minutes when Steven Berghuis capitalised on poor defending all around with a mishit effort that snuck past Allan McGregor.Mohamed Kudus then struck on the half hour mark to leave Gio van Bronckhorst’s side staring down the barrel at ignominy as they overtook Dinamo Zagreb's record of boasting the worst EVER Champions League group stage record with zero points and 20 goals.From there onwards, they showed some actual fight; Kudus has another goal ruled out for offside before Scott Arfield struck a venomous effort at goal that gave the Ibrox crowd something to get excited about.

Yet with a plethora of uninspiring substitutes and a team that were evidently miles behind Ajax, Alfredo Morelos' miss with the goal gaping after robbing Pasveer summed it all up.James Tavernier then scored from the spot to half the deficit and momentarily rank Rangers back alongside Zagreb so that their embarrassment was at least temporarily shared - although Chico Conceicao put them back in their misery within just 44 seconds of the restart to make it 3-1 and leave floods of fans leaving Ibrox.Calvin Bassey's return warranted a man of the match performance, Rangers slumped to yet another poor performance and van Bronckhorst is now left under the thumb once more with the World Cup break closing in.Recap our live blog here on what was yet another underwhelming night in the blue half of Glasgow.Rangers: McGregor, Tavernier, Colak, S Davis,
