Borna Barisic believes Rangers were caught up in a perfect Champions League storm that left his team battered, bruised and beaten.
But he is convinced it is the ONLY place they want to be in Europe next season. The Croatian left back knows full well that Rangers have been dubbed the worst team ever to compete in the top tier tournament and while he accepts that the stats don’t lie - no points from six games and a goal difference of minus 20 - he is adamant a combination of the luck of the draw and a horrendous injury pile-up contributed the badge of dishonour they’ve had pinned to their blue jerseys.
Speaking after the 3-1 defeat at home to Ajax pulled down the curtain on their campaign from hell, Barisic said: “I cannot be happy because we lost against a good side. We wanted to have a positive result to end the Champions League and we are disappointed. There are not many positives (from the whole campaign). We are disappointed. We wanted to play in the Champions League.
