Rangers eliminated from Europe, face pressure ahead of Aberdeen match

Rangers have exited European competition after falling to Jablonec in a penalty shootout in the Conference League play-off. This marks the first time since 2017 that the club will not participate in European football. Currently, they sit five points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership after just two games. Manager Derek McInnes faces increasing scrutiny, having acknowledged the team's poor performance, which included only one shot on target throughout the match against Jablonec. The next challenge for Rangers will be a match against Aberdeen on August 30.
