Saibari strikes twice as PSV crush Rangers' Champions League hopes
Ismael Saibari scored twice as PSV Eindhoven hammered Rangers 5-1 on Wednesday to book their place in the draw for the group stages of the Champions League.
Luke de Jong, Joey Veerman and a Connor Goldson own goal all contributed to a shocking night for the Scottish side who lost 7-3 on aggregate and will now take part in the Europa League.
PSV will be joined in Thursday's Champions League draw by Belgian neighbours Royal Antwerp who beat AEK Athens and FC Copenhagen who held off Polish outfit Rakow.
After last week's 2-2 draw in Glasgow, PSV quickly took charge of the second leg with Saibari forcing a fine save out of Jack Butland.
Shortly after, Saibari got on the end of a Veerman cross to power a header past the Rangers keeper and put PSV one up in the 35th minute.
Eight minutes into the second half Saibari added his second, tapping in after de Jong hooked the ball across the face of goal.
Rangers struck back through captain James Tavernier but while their fans were still celebrating de Jong scored PSV's third, Veerman's fourth and the Goldson own goal rubbing salt in Rangers' wounds.
