Rangers hit the crossbar and post four times in a 2-1 defeat against Ajax in the first game of their UEFA Youth League campaign.
It was a tough start for the Light Blues who found themselves one goal down in the first 12 from a Skye Vink effort after a Dutch cross into the away area. Ajax were two to the good before half-time through Stanis Idumbo-Muzambo, a twist of fate which proved painful for Rangers after Connor Allan had crashed a header off the crossbar moments beforehand.
They weren't down and out despite finding themselves up against it versus a club known for producing high-profile talents through their youth academy. Lewis MacKinnon pulled one back before heading onto the post and Charlie Lindsay had the chance to level up proceedings from the penalty spot, but it painfully hit the frame. Ross McCausland also suffered woodwork pain, a powerful effort from outside the box cracking the crossbar for a second time.
