Pedro Caixinha described the possibility of the Glasgow side losing to Progres Niedercorn as "unthinkable" – but on Tuesday it became a reality
Rangers' Europa League campaign was brought to a humiliating halt in the first qualifying round with a 2-1 aggregate defeat at the hands of Progres Niedercorn.
The Scottish Premiership side slumped to a 2-0 second-leg loss in Luxembourg on Tuesday as manager Pedro Caixinha oversaw a defeat that he had described in the build-up as "unthinkable".
Olivier Thill was the hero for the hosts – who secured their first win in a UEFA tie in 14 attempts – setting up Emmanuel Francoise to bundle in a 66th-minute opener before his cross-cum-shot from a free-kick deceived Wes Foderingham and found the goalkeeper's bottom-right corner.
