Kenny Miller admits Rangers' humiliating 4-1 Champions League defeat by Unirea Urziceni at Ibrox on Tuesday night was a result "waiting to happen".
Despite being top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League, the Light Blues have been criticised for most of the season due to the poor standard of their football which was punished by the little-known Romanian side.
Scotland striker Miller said: "It wasn't a lack of concentration, we weren't good enough - as simple as that."
He added: "We have not been playing well as a team in the domestic campaign and that showed. I think a result like that was waiting to happen for us.
"There is no doubt we do have the players who can play better than that but, up until now, we have not been firing.
"We have been kind of sneaking results rather than going and winning games. There is obviously a lot of hard work to be done.
"We are not doing the right things as a team, not just as individuals.
"We are not playing well and we will have to rectify it quickly or we will find ourselves out of the Champions League.
"But as much as it was a shocking result for us, we are still in the group if we go over there and win and then get Stuttgart at home.
"Those next two games will shape the group."

No11 - Are you saying that Rangers are a fake English team? Come on sort it out, or better still, say nothing.
No7, you tried before in the Champions League and Failed against the Rangers, what is life like DOWN there?? Feck off n worry about your own situation!!!!!!!!! *****
Miller is right, he must have been looking in the mirror, as should most but not all of his team mates, so should the fickle fans who left early....die hards my AR*E!!! Glory hunters them!! Win, Lose or Draw it's Rangers til' a die, for me! We are shi8e in europe, I dont expect much, however not those results against those kind of teams, liked their approach though they went & got the jugular, we would not do that, had we went 3-1 up we would have sat back to hang on!! Glasgow Rangers Champions Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh,Ooh *****
FollowWithPride- Not often that I agree with a Hun but well said sir.
who the hell would pay £111 to watch rangers anyways??? the SPL sucks worse than the cypriot league
Just give up playing football, start supporting a real ENGLISH team! wake up and smell the roses!
The scottish league is a joke ...... it has been for sometime now
Total embarrassment - and there is more to come.
Lowest point Rangers have hit in a long time. standards are rock bottom, and the fact we are top of the league says it all about both the Old Firm, no excuses - we are absolutely pathetic.
Bottom of both our Euro groups with 1 point is totally unacceptable.
This Romanian team comes from a city with 10.000 people, a small city but with a nice team !
If Rangers loose the november game in Romania then we will have a CL spring ahead of us :-)
Sums up Scottish football .we could beat that lot
State the obvious Miller.
We are not playing well and we will have to rectify it quickly or we will find ourselves out of the Champions League. ROLF!
My brother and i paid £111 to watch rangers in the champions league and i think we should be refunded cos the football that was on display was diobolical. Even the under 5's could perform better. The whole team should be sacked along with Smith. Why isnt boyd getting a game, why is novo not brought on sooner, why is rotten playin he obviously is rotten by name and by football status.
Cmon wake up and smell the coffee Smith we are all deeply embarrassed by the football that is on display at the moment. GET A GRIP
I did it was a disgrace !!
"we weren't good enough" - well no s#it sherlock, you lost 4-1
