← Back to NewsRangers crash out of Europa League as Derek McInnes’s winless start goes on
13 august 2026
Derek McInnes’s start as Rangers manager has been far from ideal, as his side faced elimination from the Europa League qualifiers following a 3-2 aggregate defeat to Jagiellonia Bialystok. After a disappointing 2-1 loss in the first leg in Poland, hopes were rekindled when captain Lawrence Shankland equalized on aggregate with a penalty just 19 minutes into the match at Ibrox. However, Rangers couldn’t capitalize on their early momentum, ultimately drawing 1-1 on the night and crashing out of the competition. The result leaves McInnes still searching for his first win at the helm, raising questions about the direction of the team as they head into a challenging season.
