Rangers defender Leon Balogun can’t hide his disappointment following the club’s exit from the UEFA Europa League, Prompt News reports.
The Light Blues lost 2-0 to Athletic Bilbao in the second leg of their quarter-final tie at the San Mames on Thursday night.
Balogun said their performance was not good enough.
“I think you have to be honest and I don’t think we showed enough quality today in order to severely threaten them,” the 27-year-old told BBC.
“We all came here with a lot more expectation probably to ourselves and we did not really live up to it.
“I know this is not what the supporters and the people back home want to hear, but sometimes you have to hold your hands up and I think Bilbao showed that they’re the better team. Were we hoping for probably a lucky punch.”
