BERLIN (Reuters) - Just weeks ago RB Leipzig were basking in the glow of their impressive turnaround under coach Domenico Tedesco but with Thursday's Europa League exit to Rangers coming on the heels of two straight league losses their season is at risk of imploding.

Tedesco took over in December with last season's Bundesliga runners-up languishing in 11th place. He launched a 15-game unbeaten run that carried them up the table, into the German Cup final and the last four of the Europa League.
