Rangers suffered a significant setback at Ibrox on Thursday, falling 2-0 to a dominant AS Roma side, marking their fourth consecutive Europa League defeat and a record-extending seventh European loss in a row.
The Serie A visitors quickly established control, scoring twice in the first half with Matias Soule heading in the opener at the 13 minute mark before Lorenzo Pellegrini finished a fluent move with the second goal on 36 minutes.
Despite an improved second-half display, the Ibrox side, under new coach Danny Rohl, lacked the necessary clinical edge, failing to trouble the Roma keeper significantly.
Rohl defended his players post-match, but the result leaves Rangers rooted bottom of their Europa League group without a point.
The stats paint a grim picture: the loss makes Rangers the fourth team ever to lose 10 European games in a single year.
Their European aspirations now look severely hampered as they turn their attention back to domestic duties before facing Sporting Braga in their next European outing.
