Gio van Bronckhorst insists Rangers ARE improving in the Champions League as he sets Ajax shoot out challenge to players

Gutted Giovanni van Bronckhorst admitted the gulf in quality was obvious as his Rangers side slumped to a third Champions League defeat on the spin against Liverpool to leaven them without a point or a goal in Group A.

But the Dutchman insists the Light Blues can learn from their latest loss as he set his sights on hauling themselves off the bottom of the section in the second half of the campaign to secure European football after Christmas. Trent Alexander-Arnold netted a stunning early free kick before Mo Salah added a second from the penalty spot after Leon King fouled Luis Diaz inside the box.

Allan McGregor was in inspired form as he denied £85 million man Darwin Nunez on four occasions as well as other huge saves, including an exquisite save from Diogo Jota. But even the veteran couldn’t prevent another loss as the English giants inflicted Gers’ third straight group defeat at Anfield ahead of the Battle of Britain return against Jurgen Klopp’s men at Ibrox next week.
