Rangers secured Champions League playoff progression despite suffering a 2-1 defeat to Viktoria Plzen in Czechia on Tuesday night.
The Scottish side advanced 4-2 on aggregate but delivered an unconvincing performance that marked Russell Martin's first loss as manager.
Rafiu Durosinmi gave Plzen the lead in the 41st minute before Lyall Cameron equalised after the hour mark. Svetozar Markovic scored a late winner for the Czech side with 10 minutes remaining.
Here's what media outlets have said about the game.
I Sport (Czechia): "The glittering Champions League will not be played in Pilzen this season, but Viktoria showed European strength with a courageous performance in the rematch of the third qualifying round.
"They chased away the Scottish Rangers, and with an active performance they tried to make up for the 0:3 loss from the first match.
"There was no sporting miracle this time, the final result of 2:1 was accepted even by the loudly supporting fans. The Czech vice-champion played the best match of the season and can look forward to the main stage of the Europa League, where they reached the round of 16 in the spring."
Daily Mail: "Rarely can progress in Europe have felt so hollow. Rarely can a 3-0 lead have looked so fragile. And rarely can a team have inspired such little confidence in being able to see it through.
"They got the job done in the end, as well as a guaranteeing a windfall of £3.7million being pumped into the coffers, with a tie against Club Brugge to come."
CTK (Czechia): "The Pilsen players will not play in the main stage of the Champions League. Although the West Bohemians defeated Glasgow Rangers 2:1 in the home match of the 3rd qualifying round, they were unable to turn the two-legged tie around after the opening 0:3 away defeat.
"The Czech team will not advance from the stronger non-championship 'branch' of the qualification this time either. In the millionaire competition in the autumn, only Slavia will appear from the domestic clubs as the reigning champion, Plzeň will play the main part of the Europa League."
Sporza (Belgium): "Club Brugge now know who they will face in the playoff. But, one thing is clear - they will have to raise their level if they are to progress against the Scots."
L’Equipe (France): "Although Czech side Plzen won 2-1 at home, Scottish Rangers will qualify for the next stage of Europe's elite club competition after winning 0-3 in the first leg."
