Former Celtic stars mock Rangers’ defeat.

Rangers have suffered one of the most humiliating results in their history, losing to Progres Niederkorn.

The Gers have been eliminated from the Europa League as a result, losing 2-0 on the night and 2-1 on aggregate.

The result is disastrous for Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha, and the Portuguese manager was mocked after the game by former Celtic striker John Hartson.

Referring to Caixinha recently banning green ‘Celtic’ boots among his Rangers player, Hartson joked about the reasons for Rangers’ embarrassing defeat.

Another former Celtic player, Craig Burley, also tweeted after Rangers’ elimination, reflecting on their loss to the Luxembourg based minnows.

Europa League football had been in key Rangers’ attempts to sign players this summer, and this will hit them hard, from a morale perspective too.

If Pedro Caixinha was not already under pressure, he certainly is now.
