Rangers U19s handed Ajax lesson as Ross McCausland brace fails to keep UEFA Youth League hopes alive

Rangers under-19s were handed a lesson by Ajax after they fell to a 6-2 defeat at Firhill on their final bow in the UEFA Youth League group stage. But they did have to play over an hour with 10 men after Bailey Rice was shown red.

David Kalokoh put the visitors in front, after Skye Vinks earlier effort had been chalked off for offside. Ross McCausland fought back with a quick-fire double for the young Gers before Kalokoh grabbed his brace on the stroke of half-time to level the proceedings. Then Raphael Sarto, Chachine Van Bohemen, Rida Chahid and Yorham Boerhout all added to the deficit in the second half as Ajax capped off a dominant showing.

The result means David McCallum's men finish in third place with two wins from their six fixtures, both coming against bottom side Napoli. While the win ensures Ajax finish second, two points behind Group A winners Liverpool, who were 5-0 winners on the final match day.
