What happened. Rangers drew 1-1 with Jagiellonia Bialystok but lost 3-2 on aggregate, exiting the Europa League in the third qualifying round. Derek McInnes admitted the team is 'not ready' for this level.

• McInnes remains winless after four games as Rangers manager.
• Fans booed at full-time, and McInnes said it was justified.
• Missing injured Tuur Rommens and Youssef Chermiti, he changed formation.

“It was justified, to be honest. It wasn't good enough.”

— Derek McInnes

Rangers now enter the Conference League play-offs, but McInnes admits the team needs more quality.
