Steven Davis admits it hurts to be branded the worst team in Champions League history. But the veteran midfielder has challenged his teammates not to hide - and use it as motivation to get back there next year.
Rangers were always going to struggle in a group with Napoli, Liverpool and Ajax but the manner in which they crashed out rung alarm bells around Ibrox. They scored just twice, conceded 22, and failed to pick up a single point as they signed off from European action with a whimper.
They bowed out with a timid display against Ajax as the Dutch side made it clear early on there was no chance of a miraculous 5-0 win that would have seen Gio van Bronckhorst 's team nick third place from under their noses. And after that 3-1 defeat at Ibrox consigned them to the worst group stage record the competition has ever seen, Davis admits it hurts that they will now go down in the history books for all the wrong reasons.
