Rangers exit Conference League after penalty shootout loss to Jablonec

Rangers were eliminated from European competition after a penalty shootout loss to FK Jablonec in the UEFA Conference League Qualifying play-offs. The match, held in the Czech Republic, saw Vakhtang Tchanturishvili score an equalizer for Jablonec late in the second half, taking the aggregate score to 1-1. Following a goalless extra time, Rangers' Findlay Curtis and James Penrice missed their penalties, while Jablonec converted four of five attempts. This marks the first time since 2017 that Rangers will not participate in European football. Head coach Derek McInnes faces mounting pressure as the team struggles to perform during a significant rebuilding phase.
