What Dinamo did after worst ever record as Rangers handed template to overcome Champions League humiliation

Rangers are now the worst team in Champions League history after their lamentable group stage campaign and have relieved Dinamo Zagreb of the unwanted piece of European history.

However, Gio van Bronckhorst appears to have avoided the fate of the last manager to achieve the record-breaking low point, after the Croatian side axed manager Krunoslav Jurcic just minutes after their last group game defeat in 2011. Rangers desperately struggled in Europe this term and the 3-1 home loss to Ajax saw The Light Blues finish without a point having conceded 22 goals and scored just twice.

That falls below Dinamo Zagreb's record in 2011/12 when they also lost all six games in a group which also featured Ajax, along with Real Madrid and Lyon. But their final game in the group saw them crash to a disgraceful 7-1 home defeat to Lyon which eliminated Ajax and caused the Dutch giants to demand an inquiry from UEFA.
