Rangers legend Ally McCoist admits he was disappointed to see his former club bow out of the Europa League after a 1-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen on Thrusday.
The Light Blues struggled at the BayArena as Moussa Diaby scored the only goal of the game, his side already 3-1 up from a first-leg win at Ibrox.
And the club's record goalscorer wasn't unsure if Steven Gerrard 's men ever believed they could overcome Leverkusen to set up a return to Germany for the quarter-finals.
Speaking on BT Sport's Scottish Football Extra, McCoist said: "I'm not sure I'd go as far as a white flag.
"It certainly looked to me as if there was an expectation that they wouldn't be hanging around Germany, shall we say.
"Make no mistake about it, they're playing a good team, a side that could win it, I don't think they will but they could.
"There was no real intent from Rangers, I didn't think. It's that first first five or 10 minutes you're looking.
"I was on the radio and I said for Rangers to have any chance they have to score first. My co-host immediately piped in, 'yes, and second, and third'.
"It was then I was thinking, 'do you know something, he's probably quite right!'
"Make no mistake, it was a massive task but looking at the start of the game I was a little bit disappointed that Rangers didn't show any intent to get themselves back in the tie."
