The end of the Champions League campaign is the only consolation for Rangers supporters after they slumped their way to an unwanted piece of European history.
Ajax compounded a miserable return to the group stage with a 3-1 victory at Ibrox as goals from Steven Berghuis, Mohammed Kudus and late sub Francisco Conceicao provided the final blows in a total of 22 conceded over six consecutive defeats with just two scored throughout the campaign. It means Gio van Bronckhorst has led the Light Blues to statistically the worst ever group stage tally, surpassing Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb's dismal record that has stood for 11 years.
Rangers have struggled to recapture the magic that saw them create memories of a lifetime for fans during a thrilling run to the Europa League final, and punters will be keen to put this season's Euro exploits out of mind as soon as possible. Media across the globe picked up on the result, with relief from Croatia while other outlets simply piled on the misery.
