Rangers 0-2 Slavia Prague (1-3 agg): Nine-man Gers eliminated by Olayinka and Stanciu
Peter Olayinka and Nicolae Stanciu netted to earn Slavia Prague a 2-0 win over nine-man Rangers in their Europa League last-16 second leg.
Rangers had two players sent off as they were eliminated from the Europa League at the last-16 stage for the second season running with a 2-0 loss to Slavia Prague at Ibrox.
The recently crowned Scottish champions entered the second leg on home soil, where they had gone 21 games without defeat, with a slim advantage after last week's 1-1 draw in Prague.
But Peter Olayinka put Slavia ahead on aggregate with a first-half header and the Gers collapsed in the second half – substitute Kemar Roofe and defender Leon Balogun both seeing red.
Nicolae Stanciu curled in a fine free-kick following the foul which resulted in Balogun's dismissal, sealing a 3-1 aggregate victory for Slavia, who knocked out Leicester City in the last round.
