Rangers' hopes of qualifying for the Champions League were dashed after a 2-0 loss to Dynamo Kyiv at Hampden Park, resulting in a 3-1 aggregate defeat. The turning point came when Brazilian player Jefté received a controversial red card early in the second half, reducing Rangers to ten men. Following the red card, Dynamo took advantage with two late goals from Oleksandr Pikhalyonok and Nazar Voloshyn, sealing their victory. Head coach Philippe Clement expressed his frustration over the red card decision, which he felt significantly impacted the match. As a consequence, Rangers will now compete in the Europa League playoffs instead of the Champions League. Meanwhile, Dynamo Kyiv progresses to face RB Salzburg in the next round of the Champions League qualifiers.
