Rangers manager Derek McInnes has taken full responsibility for the team's "embarrassing" exit from the Conference League, expressing mortification with the performance in the Czech Republic.
"I can't accept, and we shouldn't accept, losing individual battles, duels, second balls, not winning enough tackles and just getting the momentum of the game going our way," McInnes stated. "I thought we looked young, inexperienced at times."
The statistics from the 120 minutes of play supported McInnes's frustration, with Rangers having just over 46% possession and only one shot on target. The team also won fewer than 70% of their 16 tackles and committed 17 fouls.
"We got what we deserved," McInnes added. "If we'd won on penalties we would have taken it, of course, but it would only have covered over the cracks. I'm mortified with the performance. I know you can lose games of football but we should have enough in the building to take care of that tonight."
This latest result comes after a mixed start to the season, with previous wins against St Mirren and Jablonec at Ibrox, following draws and losses in their opening league matches. McInnes believes this European exit could hinder the team's progress.
"We went into this game scrambling for some sort of confidence, some positivity," he said. "But I just thought the team that deserved to go through went through tonight and that's hard for me to take."
