Europa League standings: Results, scores, goals including Rangers vs Ludogorets
Rangers beat Ludogorets but bowed out of the Europa League
Rangers exited the 2025/26 Europa League despite Mohamed Diomande’s goal giving the Scottish Premiership side victory over Bulgarian club Ludogorets in their final home match of the league phase.
Midfielder Diomande struck the 33rd-minute winner after a penalty area scramble, extending his side’s winning run to seven matches in all competitions.
Danny Rohl’s side have failed to hit form in sufficient time to rescue their European campaign, sitting four points from the knockout phase play-off places with one match remaining.

Rangers vs Ludogorets: Europa League exit for hosts
A first Europa League win of the season and an end to their nine-game winless run in the competition perhaps offers some consolation to Rangers, who are also unbeaten in 35 home games in January.
They will now aim to continue their strong league form as they attempt to overturn a six-point deficit on top-flight leaders Hearts.
Rangers are next in action at home to Dundee in the league on Sunday (15:00) before their final European match of the season at Porto on January 29 (20:00).
