Bain confident of Champions League return
Rangers chief executive Martin Bain refused to countenance the prospect of the Ibrox club coming to the end of the road in the Champions League.
Walter Smith's men flew in to Turkey for their final Group C clash with Bursaspor on Tuesday night knowing they have to content themselves with third spot behind Valencia and Manchester United and a place in the Europa League.
Only the champions of Scotland will get in to the Champions League qualifiers next season - where traditionally Scottish clubs have struggled - and the country's plummeting co-efficient means guaranteed places are likely to be a thing of the past.
He said: "I wouldn't really put it as the last Champions League game.
"It's obviously going to be difficult in terms of the co-efficient going forward for everyone in Scottish football but there is always a chance that you can qualify.
"So we are not going to put it down as the last Champions League game, that would be a bit defeatist. I think there is every chance that Rangers can qualify in the future."
