Rangers concluded their disappointing Europa League campaign with a 3-1 defeat to Porto. Despite Djeidi Gassama's early goal, the Scottish side crumbled. Rodrigo Mora, Francisco Moura, and an own goal sealed Rangers' fate. The loss marked the end of a winless run for Rangers in the competition. They finish the league phase with just four points.

This loss highlights Rangers' struggles in Europe. They were already eliminated before the match. The team's defensive frailties were exposed, leading to a first-half collapse. Manager Danny Röhl will now shift his focus to the Scottish Premiership. They're aiming to stay within striking distance of league leaders Hearts.

Rangers' performance was a stark contrast to their recent domestic form. While they enjoyed a decent run in the Scottish Premiership, their European journey was a letdown. Röhl made several changes, with an eye on the upcoming league fixture against Hibernian. The team will need to regroup quickly.

Looking ahead, Rangers will aim to bounce back in the Scottish Premiership. The team's priority is to maintain their position in the league. With new signings ineligible for this Europa League game, Röhl will hope the additions bolster the squad for the remainder of the domestic season. The next match is crucial.
