Rangers dumped out of Europe but Brighton progress
The Scottish giants fail to reach the Conference League after losing to Czech side Jablonec on penalties despite a first-leg win.
Rangers were eliminated from European competition in a disappointing performance against Jablonec, as reported on Thursday. The Scottish side had won the first leg against the Czech team, but Vakhtang Tchanturishvili equalized the tie on aggregate with a goal. Rangers' penalty misses by Findlay Curtis and James Penrice sealed their fate, as the Czechs advanced to the league phase, joined by Brighton, who thrashed Tromso 4-0 on aggregate.
Brighton's goals came from Charalampos Kostoulas, Maxim De Cuyper, and Mats Wieffer, with Olivier Boscagli sealing the win late on. Trabzonspor faced a harsh defeat at home to Ferencvaros in the Europa League, with the Egyptian side losing 4-0 and 5-0 on aggregate. Despite the loss, they were still eliminated from the competition.
Benfica and Anderlecht, both past European competition winners, also made it to the league phase by easily defeating Aarhus and Kairat Almaty, respectively.
