Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst reacts to Ajax defeat and Champions League 'worst ever' tag

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has given his reaction to Rangers' defeat to Ajax and that unwanted 'worst ever' tag.

The Light Blues went down 3-1 on the night to end the Champions League campaign on zero points and have now landed the unwanted tag as the 'worst ever' group stage team. They also became the first British side to lose all six games in their section that ended with just two goals for and 22 against meaning they ended up with a -20 goal difference.

The home side 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.
