Giovanni van Bronckhorst refused to offer any excuses after rampant Liverpool condemned Rangers to the heaviest home defeat in the club's history.
A 7-1 defeat to the ruthless Anfield side equalled the biggest ever loss to Celtic in the League Cup Final of 1957. A humiliating home defeat also ended hopes of progress to the knock-out stages of the Champions League and left last season's beaten Europa League finalists facing a mountainous task to secure Europa League football after Christmas.
Thrashed 4-0 by Ajax and Celtic already this season, the Dutchman identified the mental weakness of his side as a growing problem after they shipped six goals in 32 second half minutes.
