Ragged Rangers saw their £20million Champions League dream come crashing down at the hands of classy PSV Eindhoven as magical Moroccan Ismael Saibari inspired the Dutch giants to a 5-1 hammering over Michael Beale’s men in the second leg of their playoff clash at the Philips Stadion.
The Light Blues were second best and will have to settle for UEFA’s second tier competition after last season’s chastening experience in the premier tournament.
But the Ibrox side – who lost Borna Barisic to injury and he could now be a doubt for Sunday's clash against Celtic – had little complaints as the gulf to the Eredivisie side was evident as Saibari netted in either half to put them well on the way to the group stage.
James Tavernier pulled one back to give the visitors a lifeline but PSV skipper Luuk De Jong restored the two-goal lead and ex Ibrox target Joey Veerman added another.
