Europa League: Reaction when the Rangers Fenerbahce defeated in punishments to make progress

In a season of domestic deception, the European competition was the one who is positive for Rangers and which was continued in one night with a high drama at Ibrox.

The joy that Yandas' Miss met came after 120 minutes nerves, frustration and fear when the fans were laid by an emotional wringer.

Rangers started well that night, and Cerny's directness caused many problems for the backline fenerbahce backline, but when Szymanski swept the Filip Kostics cross on the Salve, it swung the dynamics towards the visitors.

They then dominated the second half and when Szymanski stabbed in his second sting in 73 minutes, it only looked like a winner.

The Mourinho team was delighted by a decision in the extension not to give a punishment after Nicolas Raskin Yandas stumbled into the box. Referee Espen Eskas waved on and Var decided not to intervene.

Rangers were defensively tall and sometimes rode their luck to pull the draw on punishments, and then showed the character to group and win the shootout.

Ferguson has to fix problems, not least the darkest home form, but it seems to be a feeling of belonging together and the belief of the association, both among the players and among the fans.

He will be without Mohamed Diomande and John Suttar for the first leg against Bilbao – they were both booked and thereby removed a match suspensions.

Before that, however, attention turns to the old company Derby on Sunday against the Scottish Premiership leaders in Celtic Park, where some tired bodies have to go again.
