From the moment Danny Rohl arrived at Rangers back in late October, it always looked like progression in the Europa League would be a tall order.

The damage had already been done, with defeats to Genk and Sturm Graz in their opening two matches, whilst under the command of Russell Martin, putting the Ibrox club firmly behind the eight-ball.

When Rohl’s side were then thumped 3-0 away at Brann in his first match in charge, it was clear that the European campaign would pretty much be a write-off this season.

Subsequent defeats to Roma and Ferencvaros, as well as a draw against Braga, have left Rangers with the paltry return of just one point from six matches.

With two games left to play, starting with the visit of Ludogorets at Ibrox on Thursday night before Rohl’s side travel to Porto next week, elimination has all but been confirmed.
