What's next for Rangers?

Rangers crashed out of the Champions League after losing to 10-man Malmo at Ibrox.

The 2021 Scottish Premiership champions levelled the  tie on aggregate with Alfredo Morelos's goal, and at times looked well placed when Malmo's Bonke Innocent was sent off before half-time.

Antonio Colak then changed the outcome of the when  he scored two goals in four minutes early in the second half. Despite dominating the ball and creating a fistful of chances, Rangers were unable to respond.

For Rangers, a Europa League play-off awaits against Kazakhstan's Kairat Almaty or Alashkert of Armenia.

You can see and listen to Steven Gerrard's reaction in the video below.


Gerrard added: "The most frustrating part is we've lost the second half to 10 men. To be 1-0 up and then go 2-1 down, a bit of fear and panic set in. We've got the second-half performance wrong and that's on all of us.

"We've lost three games out of four and, at Rangers, that's not good enough."

You can see some of the highlights in the tweets posted below.

So what next for Rangers?

Alarmingly for the Rangers manager, it is a third defeat in a row for the club. It's also the first time that this has happened since May 2015.

Further discussion has been had around the impact that this has on Rangers transfer budget for the rest of the summer transfer window. Do they have to sell any players now before they strengthen?

Debate has also been had around the quality of Scottish football when it comes to competing in European competition. Celtic were knocked out of the same competition in the previous round.

Who won the Transfer Window?

The transfer window is closed until January 1st.  Who had the best window though? Were there any major losers? Manchester United United strengthened their defence with the signing of Varane and brought some extra quality with the signings of Jadon Sancho and the returning hero Cristiano Ronaldo. Critics would argue that they are still a world class defensive midfielder away from leading the charge in domestic and European competitions. Click here for more news on Manchester United Manchester City The signing of Jack Grealish was great but many would argue that their lack of proven goalscorer could prove costly. Although others would point out that they have just scored ten in two matches so who needs a centre forward?
