Rangers are officially NOT the worst-ever Champions League team.
The unwanted record was last night surpassed by one of Celtic's rivals from this season's UEFA competition.
BSC Young Boys finished the new-look league phase with zero points, a goal difference of minus-21 after eight matches.
Their fate was sealed following last night's 1-0 home defeat to Red Star Belgrade - who also failed to qualify for the play-off round.
Statistically, Rangers became the worst-ever team to feature in the UCL's group stage during their last venture in 2022 under Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
The Scottish Premiership giants lost all six of their games to Liverpool, Ajax and Napoli. They scored just once, in a 7-1 trouncing by Liverpool at Ibrox, leaving them with a goal difference of -20.
