AFCON is finally here, following months of rumors over which players will be ruled out of club action for up to four weeks. Following the most recent round of play, the continental tournament will take place from January 13 to February 11, with players having to join their national teams.

Ajax lost by a 5-2 loss at the hands of rival PSV that will send them to the bottom of the Economy table. Branco van den Boomen opened the scoring for Ajax and gave his team a glimmer of hope, but PSV took the lead through Mexican winger Hirving Lozano.

After the Ibrox team's Champions League dream was thrashes by PSV Eindhoven, Michael Beale apologised to the Rangers fans and admitted the money would go wherewith them. Rangers fell 2-0 behind at Philips Stadium to a double by Ismael Saibari, but James Tavernier gave them a small hope by rescinding a second-half goal. Luuk de Jong's header put PSV back to control just 91 seconds later, but the Scots lost despite a humiliating 7-3 aggregate defeat.

Rangers' Champions League aspirations were shattered in Eindhoven, as PSV defeated a strong 5-1 play-off winners to fall 7-3 on aggregate. Michael Beale's side, who tied 2-2 with the Dutch outfit in Ibrox last week, owed to fall behind in the 35th minute of the return game in the Philips Stadion when Ismael Saibari came on. In the 53rd minute, the Moroccan attacker scored a second, and although Gers skipper James Tavernier pulled a goal back in the 64th minute, PSV captain Luuk de Jong wasted no time in restoring the two-goal lead with a header similar to the one in Glasgow.

MARK WILSON, IBROX: The fireworks were still roaring in Glasgow two years after the 2am tragedy outside PSV Eindhoven's hotel. Rangers were left feeling somewhat sick by a game full of thrilling drama and rapid shifts in momentum. There is still hope. Yes, for sure. But the trip to the Netherlands next week will be anything but spectacular.

After Rangers struggled to clear a corner, the visitors were led in the 37th minute to fire home, with the ball dropping to Ibrahim Sangare. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's guys resurfaced three minutes later when Antonio Colak began a well-planned move. Both teams looked for the game's third goal after the break, and Rangers' goalkeeper Walter Benitez miraculously allowed Tom Larence's free-kick to squirm through his hands and into the goal. Rangers were unable to keep going as they were undone at a set-piece once more, with Armando Obispo heading home another corner.
