Rangers failed to reach the last 32 of the Europa League after they lost 1-0 to Rapid Vienna, with Dejan Ljubicic's late goal ending their hopes
Steven Gerrard's men needed a win in Austria to send them into the knockout stages and they came close when a Connor Goldson header hit the bar in the 21st minute
But a poor clearance from goalkeeper Allan McGregor eventually saw Ljubicic slot home in the 84th minute to knock Rangers out of the competition
Rapid Vienna secured themselves a place in the last 32 with the victory, alongside Group G winners Villarreal, who beat Spartak Moscow 2-0 in the other fixture in the group
It took 15 minutes for either side to have a shot as Borna Barisic went for goal with a low free-kick after Alfredo Morelos was bundled over, but it went straight into the hands of Rapid goalkeeper Richard Strebinger
Six minutes later and Rangers hit the crossbar in what turned out to be their best chance of the game
 Boli Bolingoli was penalised for a handball and the free-kick was curled into the box by captain James Tavernier
 Goldson rose to meet it from six yards out, but his header smashed off the crossbar before bouncing clear
The first half proceeded with little goalmouth action, but both goalkeepers were tested early in the second period
 Strebinger was forced to claw away a Ryan Jack cross, before McGregor got his first real touch on the ball as Christoph Knasmullner struck, but the Rangers stopper got down low to make the save
The game had a better flow to it in the second half, but chances remained at a premium, although Rangers did go close with nine minutes to play
 Tavernier fired towards goal from 20 yards out, but Strebinger pushed it away
 A cross was then put into the area not long after - intended for Kyle Lafferty - but the goalkeeper was there again to clear
Rapid Vienna struck the hammer blow in the 84th minute which condemned Rangers to a Europa League exit
 McGregor had little to do during the game but his fluffed clearance fell to Veton Berisha, who in turn found Ljubicic just outside the area
 He played a neat give and go with Knasmullner before slotting the ball home and sending the hosts through to the last 32
It was an inspired choice to bring Knasmullner on at the break, and he had a big impact in the second 45 minutes
 He had a great shot that tested McGregor for the first time not long after coming on and set up the winning goal
 He will be one to watch out for in the next round
Rangers will be back at Ibrox on Sunday when they host Hamilton in the Scottish Premiership
 Rapid Vienna will also be in action on Sunday, playing Austria Vienna in the Austrian Bundesliga
