McInnes 'Embarrassed' After Rangers Follow Celtic's Debacle and Lose in Conference League Playoffs
- On Thursday, Rangers crashed out of the UEFA Conference League after a 4-3 penalty shootout defeat to Jablonec at the Stadion Strelnice, following a grueling 120-minute contest that ended 1-1 on aggregate.
- Manager Derek McInnes led the team into the second leg holding a 1-0 aggregate lead, but the squad delivered a "turgid" performance in the Czech Republic that lacked creativity and invention.
- Jablonec midfielder Vakhtang Tchanturishvili levelled the tie in the 73rd minute with a drive past keeper Ivor Pandur, and neither side scored again during the remaining contest, forcing penalties.
- Admitting he was "mortified," McInnes accepted "full responsibility" for the exit, which leaves Rangers without European football beyond August for the first time since their 2017 defeat to Progres Niederkorn.
- Turning attention to domestic matters, Rangers travel to face Aberdeen in the William Hill Premiership on Sunday, where they trail Celtic, St Mirren, and Dundee by five points.
