Rangers' player Thelo Aasgaard was accused of appearing to ignore his manager Derek McInnes during their European defeat.

The midfielder was involved in a late-game incident, according to BBC Sportsound's Alasdair Lamont. Lamont said: "Derek McInnes is urging Thelo Aasgaard to get back in, and he is virtually ignoring his manager.

"Now, he is trotting back into the middle of the park, and Rangers are facing a penalty shoot-out."

Rangers were defeated by Jablonec after a dramatic penalty shoot-out in the Europa Conference League. The side lost 1-0 in the Czech Republic, leaving the tie level on aggregate, before crashing out on penalties.

Ivor Pandur saved one spot kick, but misses from Findlay Curtis and James Penrice sealed Rangers’ fate. Aasgaard, who had entered the action after an hour, did convert his own penalty in the shoot-out.

Captain Lawrence Shankland also scored from 12 yards, while Bojan Miovski found the net for Rangers.

But Jablonec held their nerve through Antonín Růsek, Richard Sedláček, Nelson Okeke, and Jan Chramosta to reach the Conference League phase, ending Rangers' European campaign.
