Rangers Eliminated from Conference League After Penalty Shootout Loss to Jablonec

Rangers were eliminated from the UEFA Conference League after a penalty shootout against FK Jablonec, following a 1-1 aggregate tie. The match took place in the Czech Republic, where Jablonec's Vakhtang Tchanturishvili equalized in the 73rd minute, forcing the game into penalties.

Rangers had initially led 1-0 from the first leg but struggled throughout the match, lacking creativity. Despite a halftime tactical change and substitutions, they could not regain control. In the penalty shootout, Rangers missed crucial kicks, with Findlay Curtis and James Penrice failing to convert their attempts.

This defeat signifies a significant setback for Rangers, who have not missed out on European competition since 2017. The team now faces a domestic focus, with their next match against Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership.
