Rangers suffered the stigma of producing the worst group stage performance in Champions League history.
They lost all six matches, scoring just two goals, and suffered the humiliation of a 7-1 defeat by Liverpool, the worst result they have ever experienced at Ibrox as well as a chastening 4-0 loss to Ajax in Amsterdam.
However, new boss Michael Beale reckons it has been a massive positive for him. Despite the awful results, playing at elite level has made Rangers more attractive to a higher standard of player - like Nico Raskin, who should finally received his work permit today.
