Ibrox legend Ally McCoist says Rangers' thrashing by Liverpool was 'a shocking result for Scottish football'... and he was at his lowest ebb watching Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side crumble to record home defeat

Ally McCoist insists Liverpool’s seven-goal thrashing of Rangers was a ‘shocking result’ for not just the Ibrox side, but the whole of Scottish football.

A humiliating 7-1 loss in the Champions League condemned Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team to the heaviest home defeat in the club’s history.

Equalling the club’s biggest-ever loss, to Celtic in the League Cup Final of 1957, the result left Rangers without a point after four games and ended hopes of reaching the last 16.

Coming 24 hours after Celtic became the first team to be eliminated from the competition in a 2-0 home defeat to RB Leipzig, McCoist said the Rangers hammering was the latest in an awful run of results for Scotland’s clubs in Europe.
