Rangers were eliminated from European competition after failing to overcome Czech side Jablonec in the Conference League playoffs. Despite holding a 1-0 advantage from the first leg at Ibrox, Derek McInnes's side produced a turgid display in the second leg, losing 1-0 to draw 1-1 on aggregate after extra time.
