When Motherwell were eliminated from Europe last month, manager Graham Alexander paid for the humiliation with his livelihood.

Would Giovanni van Bronckhorst suffer a similar fate if Rangers nosedived out of the Champions League qualifiers on Tuesday night?

Not a chance. But it wouldn’t be a good look given the similarities between both sets of circumstances. Motherwell going out of the Conference League qualifiers at the hands of Sligo Rovers was seen as a low point for Scottish football.

Whether it was the lowest point of all is academic. They were scraping the bottom of the barrel. I can’t agree with the radio caller I heard describe Rangers ’ opponents Union Saint-Gilloise as a “glorified pub team”.
