READ MORE: Rangers' Champions League dream ended by PSV as Michael Beale's men drop into Europa LeagueVeerman had the games first effort as he stung the palms of Jack Butland from distance before De Jong sent a header wide from close range. Despite PSV having the lions share of possession, Rangers got through the first 35 minutes unscathed until Saibari opened the scoring with a free header from a corner.
Rangers had to react with Connor Goldson firing wide from a header before Tavernier had the Glasgow giants back in it by capping off a terrific move. But PSV weren't behind a matter of a minutes as De Jong immediately restored their two goal advantage from a free-kick. Some supporters were apprehensive of another campaign in the Champions League after creating an unwanted record last time out. But they will still be hurting after being truly schooled in Eindhoven.
When there's such a turnover in a squad, there's always going to be a 'bedding in period' however at a club of Rangers stature, there is little leeway. They will have to raise the levels much higher when they host Celtic on Sunday in a match that’s already become must win for Beale.
