RANGERS have been slaughtered for their dreadful performance against Ajax.
The Dutch media have been less than complimentary about Giovanni van Bronckhorst and his side.
One outlet branded the Ibrox club "lucky" that the score was only 3-0 at the break.
The Champions League group opener would end 4-0, with Edson Alvarez, Steven Berghuis, Mohammed Kudus and Steven Bergwijn notching the goals.
The Dutch giants were clearly a cut above the Premiership side.
It's the second heavy defeat in a matter of days for van Bronckhorst, as the inquest begins into where it all went wrong.
Rubbing salt into the wounds of Rangers, Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf has branded Rangers' players as "drunken Scots."
Reporter Mike Verweij described it as a "beautiful result" for Ajax.
And while he was full of praise for Ajax, it was the complete opposite for Rangers - who were torn to shreds.
He wrote: "After a short scanning phase, the team from Amsterdam set off in the atmospheric Johan Cruijff ArenA.
"The opening goal of Edson Alvarez, who headed in after seventeen minutes from a corner from Steven Berghuis, was the signal for a gala performance.
"In it, the drunken Scots were lucky that it was 'only' 3-0 at half time."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
