Jablonec lost the opening Conference League playoff match to Rangers 0:1 on Thursday, August 20, 2026, at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow. The home side's victory was decided by a single goal from Ryan Naderi, who also impressed with excellent Czech language skills after the match and talked about holidays in the Czech Republic. denik.cz ↗
The North Bohemian team flew to Scotland after advancing past RFS Riga, following up on a 2:0 home victory with a 2:1 win in the return leg. In the first match against the Latvians, they scored through Chanturishvili and Polidar, while in the return leg Sedláček opened the scoring from distance. Coach Luboš Kozl's team qualified for the cup playoffs following an administrative adjustment and had a successful start to the season before the match with Rangers. lidovky.cz ↗
At Ibrox, Jablonec managed to maintain a promising result for much of the match and attempted to equalize toward the end, especially after the home side finished with ten men following Cammy Devlin's red card. However, the visitors failed to score. According to post-match statements, they viewed the defeat as a missed opportunity to secure at least a point, but they head into the return leg with only a narrow deficit. idnes.cz ↗
Rangers remain favorites for the two-legged tie, despite foreign reports suggesting that under Derek McInnes's management they did not deliver a convincing performance. The team advancing to the main phase of the Conference League will be decided in the return leg, where Jablonec will need to overcome their one-goal deficit at home. BBC News ↗
