00:00An outstanding night tonight at Ibrox for Rangers who have sealed a top 8 place after
00:06quite a frantic end to the match to be honest. But it started really well, Rangers really
00:11comfortable for the majority of the game. An early goal from Nicholas Raskin after a
00:15really smart short corner from James Tavenier got them in the lead. And then a fantastic
00:20run from Siri Odessas who is having a great couple of weeks to be completely honest. Set
00:24up, backfired Cerny to put in the second and it looked like things were comfortable for
00:28Rangers. It looked like it would be a playoff spot but could go in with confidence. And
00:32then the results changed. The results have changed for Odo Klimt who conceded against
00:37Nice to draw 1-1. That was the first result that helped them. And then Anderlecht's 4-3
00:42defeat also put them into the top 8. Of course, it wasn't without nerves with the late goal
00:48at the end there which was a long bar check. I think it felt like a top 10 minutes. I think
00:52it was maybe 2 or 3. And then there was some nerves at the end from Rangers with some last
00:56pitch heading, tackling, throwing bodies in the way. But they got the job done in between
01:01a little while since we've heard and feeling it at Eibach on a European night. But we heard
01:05it tonight and Rangers were deserving to hear it and celebrate with their fans at the end.
01:08But fantastic night at Eibach. 2-1. They win this evening.
