Rangers 1 Ajax 3 as Champions League campaign ends with unwanted record - 3 things we learned

Rangers rounded off their Champions League campaign with a sixth defeat as they finished rock bottom of their section and with that picked up a record they'd rather forget.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men went into this one with very, very slim hopes of finishing third and reaching the Europa League - but that would have required a win by five goals. That was quickly ended with the visitors flying out of the traps and scoring inside the first four minutes before adding a killer second on the half hour mark. James Tavernier scored a late penalty but their was still time for the visitors to knock home a third. Ajax's win gives them six points, all coming against Rangers. and European football after Christmas.

For the Ibrox men, all focus now turns to domestic matters and making sure they get themselves into a position that they can return to Europe's premier competition next season and make a much better showing than this time around. Here are three things we learned as the Light Blues exited Europe with zero points, six defeat, just two goals and a whopping 22 conceded.
