The Story in Brief
Rangers’ miserable start to the season continued with a 1-1 draw at Ibrox against Polish side Jagiellonia Bialystock on Thursday, knocking them out of the Europa League in the third qualifying round. Trailing 2-1 from the first leg, the Scottish side went ahead through a Lawrence Shankland penalty, but Nik Prelec’s header levelled the tie for the Poles, making it 3-2 on aggregate.
Manager Derek McInnes, yet to win in four games, made second-half changes that destabilised the side. Bojan Miovski missed a late chance. Rangers must now beat Czech club Jablonec to reach the Conference League.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that Derek McInnes is already a flop ignores the small margins: a late header and a missed chance. The real story is that Rangers are struggling to adapt to a new manager’s system, not that the season is doomed. The test is simple: can they beat Jablonec next week? That result will say far more than four games ever could.
