Ryan Jack has been left "speechless" after Rangers were knocked out of the Conference League by Jablonec.
The former Rangers midfielder watched his old side lose the tie on penalties, with Findlay Curtis and James Penrice missing in the shootout.
🗣"Speechless... to lose that tie over 2 legs is completely unacceptable. Former Rangers player Ryan Jack has responded to the clubs exit from Europe tonight against Jablonec. Listen to The Go Radio Football Show with Scottish Gas weeknights from 5-7pm. pic.twitter.com/CrBijiIcDZ

However, Jack insisted neither player should carry the blame for what he branded a "completely unacceptable" exit. Speaking on Go Radio, Jack said, "I'm speechless. I did not think coming into tonight that would be the outcome.
"That is no way on Findlay Curtis or James Penrice. It is a penalty shootout and anything can happen."
Jack said it is "disappointing" and "the story of where Rangers have been this season."
He also raised concerns over the absence of Nicolas Raskin from the squad, asserting that the Belgian midfielder is still Rangers' standout player despite speculation over his future.
He said, "I think Raskin is the best player. He will be sitting at home watching. He is probably your best player.

"You are losing out on European football and the money that brings in, and then you have your best player sitting at home watching the game on TV."
Jack was equally surprised by the continued omission of Scotland international John Souttar, whom he believes should be part of the Scottish spine Rangers have publicly stated they want to build.
He said, "For me, John Souttar. Rangers have said they want a Scottish core and a Scottish base. I have played with John; I know he is a Scottish international, a good player, a good talker, and a good leader.
"He is probably the most vocal person left in the changing room, and he is also not in the squad. He is probably your Scottish leader and the longest-serving one left from recent years."
