European football does not usually put thirty-seven second legs on the same evening. On 13 August it did, and by midnight forty-one ties had been decided across the Europa League and the Conference League. One of them removed a club that has played in Europe almost every season for a decade.
Rangers Are Out
Jagiellonia Białystok won the first leg 2-1 in Poland and then survived Ibrox, drawing 1-1 to take the tie 3-2. Rangers do not leave Europe entirely — a beaten Europa League third-round side drops into the Conference League play-off, where they now face Jablonec on 20 and 27 August. But the Europa League league phase, and the money and coefficient points that come with it, is gone.

What the Night Actually Changed
Goals were not evenly spread. Seven ties finished with an aggregate of seven or more, and the Conference League produced all of them. Twente's 9-3 over DAC Dunajská Streda was the biggest, built on a 6-0 first leg. Nordsjælland won 7-0 without conceding once across 180 minutes. At the other end, two ties could not be separated at all: Austria Wien lost the second leg 2-1 in Jerusalem and still advanced 4-2 on penalties, and Borac Banja Luka did the same to ML Vitebsk.
The coefficient consequences run deeper than one night. Every one of these results feeds the five-year country total that decides how many Champions League places each association gets. Türkiye sit 9th on 47.97 with 4 clubs still alive; Beşiktaş going through keeps that number climbing while Scotland lost one of its two strongest earners. Poland, in 11th, had a genuinely good night: Jagiellonia beat Rangers and Raków edged Hammarby, though Górnik Zabrze went out.

Results as of 14 August 2026. Every score and aggregate is taken from UEFA's official match reports as compiled on the 2026-27 Europa League and Conference League qualifying pages, not from live feeds — one live provider briefly reported the Pafos v Red Bull Salzburg second leg as 2-0 when it finished 3-3. Club and country coefficients come from this site's own database. The Lech Poznań v KÍ Klaksvík tie was still to be completed at the time of writing. Play-off first legs are on 20 August and second legs on 27 August; the Europa League and Conference League league-phase draws are both on 28 August.
