Rangers have a chance against Ajax to prove they’re not the worst team in Champions League history. With zero points on the board in Group A and having shipped 19 goals - getting a positive result is vital. They can at least salvage a bit of pride against the Dutch side.
But you know what? Irrespective of the result on Tuesday night, at the full-time whistle there will be one overriding feeling at Ibrox. RELIEF. Relief that this nightmare European campaign is finally over. Because let’s be honest, it’s been an absolute killer for Giovanni van Bronckhorst and his players.
The heavy defeats to Liverpool, Napoli and Ajax have drained every ounce of confidence out of a side who reached the Europa League Final just six months ago. Whenever they’ve looked like building any sort of momentum in the Scottish Premiership, they’ve been hit by a Champions League body blow.
