Rangers crashed out of the Champions League qualifiers with a demoralising 4-2 aggregate defeat by 10-man Malmo at Ibrox.
With Steven Gerrard's side trailing 2-1 from the first leg, Colombia striker Alfredo Morelos levelled the tie in the 18th minute when he knocked in a Ryan Kent cross.
The third qualifier appeared to swing in the Light Blues' favour when Malmo midfielder Bonke Innocent was sent off, perhaps unjustly, just before the break for picking up the second of two yellow cards.
However, in a stunning turnaround, two goals from striker Antonio Colak early in the second half gave the Swedish side a victory which should embarrass the Scottish champions, whose hopes of reaching the lucrative group stages were ended.
Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Dundee United in the Premiership at Tannadice on Saturday means Steven Gerrard's side have lost three games in a row.
Rangers will drop down to face either Kairat Almaty of Kazakhstan or Armenian champions Alashkert in the Europa League play-offs.
The constant din inside a packed Ibrox reached a crescendo when Kent slung in a cross from the left and Morelos knocked the ball past Malmo keeper Johan Dahlin with what looked like his back or shoulder.
The visitors came out of their shell towards the end of the first half, but seconds before the interval Innocent was shown a second yellow card by referee Slavko Vincic for a foul on Gers defender Connor Goldson, a decision which looked harsh.
Malmo took the game to Rangers at the start of the second half and Colak, who missed a first-half header, was clinical in the 53rd minute when set up by Veljko Birmancevic, firing past Allan McGregor from the angle.
And four minutes later he gathered a throw in, drifted past Leon Balogun and drilled in a low drive from 16 yards.
Malmo defended desperately under siege.
Morelos had a shot blocked then he headed wide and there were several more attempts which failed before Gerrard's side ran out of inspiration, hope and then time before the boos rang round Ibrox.
