Rangers' return to the Champions League was one to forget as they suffered a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Ajax.

Coming off the back of a heavy derby defeat to Celtic, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and skipper James Tavernier spoke in the build-up about putting in a good performance but it was a tough evening in Amsterdam with the visitors trailing 3-0 within 35 minutes.

The recent defensive issue at set plays came back to haunt the Light Blues once again as Edson Alvarez headed home from a corner to put the Dutch giants ahead.
