Any team that keeps their best striker (Boyd) on the bench for 86 mins DESERVES to go out in my book!

After complaining all last season about fixture pile ups before big games Rangers played Liverpool in a friendly on Saturday before tonight. Wonder what they think of their hypocrisy now?

Get it right up you Martin Bain

Its called Karma and my name is not Earl....

After their " It not our fans" lies after the Manchester riots and their " we need the 5%" greed of away tickets, im so happy that they are OUT OF EUROPE. Lets hope Motherwell & QOTS show them up

Hope their Hooped brothers join them.

The commentators had the cheek to suggest that they are not match fit yet....hmmm isnt that what their 6 pre-season friendly games was for....d*cks

Absolutely delighted to see the Huns tumble out of Europe to Hearts' feeder team.

The loss of revenue is excellent and hopefully will be devastating.

Let's hope the support get right on Smith's back to create some nice unrest.

An absolutely well deserved defeat - this season is looking good already.

The only thing that tempers my enjoyment is that mad Vlad will now be gloating and that's just plain wrong.

I have to say they got what Smith and his tactics deserved, to go after a nil nil and play a defensive set up is shyte.

I also think that the quality of Rangers in general is poor, Broadfoot is crap, Weir is past it and Dailly is shocking in that position, how many times did they give the ball away?

Anyway, i wait for the deluge of excuses that will appear in the press....

Tell all the huns you know

Aberdeen is as far as you'll go

You won't be needin your shades

Nor your buckets and spades

Just some gloves and a sleigh for the snow

It's a total mystery to me why Walter Smith won't give Boyd a decent run in the team and give him the opportunity to start more games. He always seems to have a bit more fight and will to win than some of the first team regulars.

ha ha rangers !

you are useless in europe just like a three pin plug!

wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy lets all laugh at rangers na na na na na

:018: :thumb04:

This will, of course, be the fault of the rest of the SPL.

Can't say I feel guilty.

New sponsors Easyjet who reckon they can get in and out of europe in just over 3 hours

gotta laugh..........

mind you i do have an uneasy feeling that they might well be out to prove a point in the league .....

The only bad things to come of this will be the effect on ratings for Scottish teams in Europe and that Celtic will now reap more Euro' cash through the TV deals. I watched the match last night and thought Rangers were very poor. There was no creativity in and area of play and their defense was worse than ours. Hearts reserves deserved to go through on the balance of play. That defeat has cost Rangers dearly.

Thought Agent Miller was clever at the corner deliberately not jumping with the goalscorer and then shrugging 'not me guv!'

Will add spice to the domestic front this year.

watched that tripe in an attempt to satisfy my hunger for football in wait of the new season, shouldnt have bothered. rangers were lucky last season to get as far as they did employing their anti-football tactic, did they honestly expect teams not to wisen to it this season? even a hearts pub team could beat it.

the result while being a disaster for rangers could well have ramifications for the SPL as a whole, pretty sure scotlands co-efficient will be affected by them going out so early meaning we could potentially lose a european place a few seasons down the line.

Absolutely dire ! Rangers got just what they deserved.

CREDIT CRUNCH UPDATE:

Riot police all over Europe are fearing for their jobs this coming football season after rangers were knocked out of European competition this week.

There were riots in Glasgow & Kaunas last night…

The Big Screens were working.

What’s the difference between Rangers and an arsonist?

An arsonist wouldn’t waste two matches.

I don't know which was the funnier....the result of the game or Mad Vlad talking to the reporter and going on about the Mafia controlling Scottish Football.

All in all, a very entertaining evening

Out of Europe before Queen of the South!

Oh how the mighty have fallen ;) .

Just goes to show what signing players like Christian Dailly and Kenny Miller does for you does for you :thumb04: :018:

Now we have to depend on QoS for European silverware this season

He gets a lot of criticism but I like Dailly as a player in a back 3 (or 5 if you prefer). But there's no way he or McCulloch should have been in a midfield position with Hemdani not getting a game. Pretty sure he was fit.

Novo as well gets a lot of criticism. He's a pretty good striker IMHO but no way is he a winger/wide midfielder. When did he ever get to the bye-line and whip in a cross? All you get from that position is an ineffectual wide player that might get a chance to score if he can somehow get in to the goal mouth, i.e. a striker out of position.

And just where are Rangers wide players? Why so much on forwards that stay on the bench? Oh, and Boyd, if you're reading. Get away from there. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too good a striker not to get a regular game.
