Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers only appointed Pedro Caixinha mid-way through last season, but he is already under pressure.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, Pedro Caixinha will not be sacked by Glasgow Rangers – despite their humiliating Europa League exit.

Rangers were knocked out of Europa at the first hurdle by Progres from Luxembourg.

Proges had never won a European match in their entire history before taking on Rangers, and only finished in fourth place in Luxembourg’s top flight last season.

However, the minnows beat Rangers 2-0 on Tuesday evening in one of the most embarrassing results in the Glasgow side’s history.

Caixinha is now under serious pressure, with many of the Ibrox crowd claiming that he should be sacked.

However, Rangers’ board have backed Caixinha in the transfer window and intend to keep putting their trust in the Portuguese boss.

Rangers feel that Caixinha’s new signings have not had enough time to settle in at Ibrox, and they want to give the 46-year-old time to put things right.

Rangers do realise that they restructure the infrastructure of the club though, with big changes expected to be made in the near future.
