The morning after the night before, and I still don't think it's sunk in that we are in the Europa League semi-final. I thought 2008 was a "once in a lifetime" for me, this team could maybe, just maybe provide another opportunity for this old fart. Not gonna lie, was quite emotional at the game last night. Words can't describe the amount of pride I have for the players. Every one of them who participated last night and on this run deserve enormous credit. Some will try to downplay this achievement, where in any other country we'd be getting praised to the heavens. There is nothing to "downplay", we deserve to be here, we've beaten some top teams and we are here on merit. At this moment in time, we are punching well above our weight, but this is the stage where Rangers FC belong. Enjoy the moment People, we deserve it. Rangers FC - Scotland's Gallant Few.

I think you are letting your distaste of what Club 1872 stand for - the collective ownership of shares- colour your judgment. Full disclosure - I'm a member of Club 1872, having first been with Rangers First. I also see nothing wrong with collective action to further a cause. I'm a member of many organisations and while not agreeing with everything they do, my shared belief In their aims are enough for me. Anyone who is a member of a political party goes through this all the time. I don't know if it is easy to buy Rangers shares as I thought they were not on a trading platform. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

The League made the post split fixtures as difficult as possible from a European perspective for us. Even breaking their promise of no deciders ever again to do so. Indeed they put it where a decider is most likely. TBH we should forget Scottish football and throw everything at Europe for me.

The ref was a joke. No bookings for any number of promising attacks stopped by cynical fouls. The first VAR goal he is either saying Barasic deliberately handled the ball or he doesn't know the rules. The 3rd one is over the line i think before the foul. Their goal is most certainly a rangers foul not a corner.

Ouch! Nursing a mini hangover thanks to overdoing it last night with 3 celebratory beers (not much of a drinker these days...). What a brilliant footballing night of tension and what a performance! Intensity from the first whistle and players being brave on the ball. So many positives to take from the players overall attitude. If we continue with the same intensity, bravery and belief on Sunday, we won't be far away.

Wow, just wow.... No matter what happens in semi-final of EL, what a fantastic achievement.

Leipzig Evens West Ham 2/1 Frankfurt 5/1 Rangers 8/1 1st leg prices Leipzig 2/5 Draw 7/2 Rangers 7/1 To qualify Leipzig 1/5 Rangers 10/3 Perhaps this puts the task ahead into some perspective, it will be a major achievement to qualify for the final, probably the same as beating Dortmund but with a lot more pressure on us.

Maybe the lesson of John Lundstram is that we shouldn't be so quick to write off someone before they've had a chance to settle in properly and show what they can do. The way he was simply dismissed a few weeks after joining the club was shameful. You know who you are.

Wasn't Lundstram's performance fantastic? He showed attributes that I didn't think he possessed, including a fantastic pacy run forward near the end. Coaching team deserve huge credit for finding ideal way to use him.

One thing that has been proven is that when we play to our best we are a match for anyone, when you reach the semis in any tournament you have a chance.

I believe the reason Roofe had so many chances was both our full backs played so high up the pitch getting crosses into the box, we played like that under SG, it's obvious both were instructed to do just that. This is my problem with Barisic, if he isn't driving forward he is pretty average, when he plays high his deliveries are superb.

That is a very cogent point. Sometimes I hate this parochial 'Let's beat Celtic' attitude when we keep outperforming them; they are an embarrassment in Europe - we've got respect outside Scotland.

The ball was DEFINITELY over the line and Ramsey stumbled into the keeper,who's antics caused the majority of added on time. I view the pitch from level with the 18yard line from SJ front.

As I said in my earlier post, maybe due to the scars from the last 12 years or so, I am sceptical of everyone (well almost) 🙂 would be good if we could get a fans organisation we could all get behind and who looked after not just the club's, but the fans best interests. Maybe one day we will mate.....

Lundstram. Outstanding yet again apart from right near the end

It was a tough choice but managed to narrowed it down to be between Tav, Barasic, Bassey, Goldson, Lundstram, Jack, Aribo, Ramsey, Roofe or Kent....but finally went fot Lundstram who was super superb.

Fantastic post. This sums up how I'm feeling too. Still buzzing.

You're on 1.75 points-per-game. If you had a full season, you'd be challenging for the title.

I prefer to put our name first Rangers 2 Celtic 0 Tav FGS

What a night so much to go through. Some really great performances. Goldson was superb but a lapse at the goal. Basey great all round and his ball for the first var goal and the one for the pen and red. Barasic tremendous. Ramsey looking great. Jack strolled it. Roofe a major threat and really unlucky not to get another Hat trick. Aribo back to his best. Tav the best player ever to play football. Edit I forgot Lundstrum who was superb, truly superb.

Unbelievable football from us last night, GVB got his tactics spot on, that and the intensity we showed just blew them away. Brilliant to see the real Borna back, injuries and low confidence have robbed us of him for long enough now.

Rangers are in the semi finals of the Europa league. Let that sink in

That was a roller coaster of emotions. Joyous to get the result in the end. I love these European nights.

I do believe our new chant is the most annoying and infuriating chant in football, but I love it! Been humming, whistling and singing it all day

I voted for Aribo, for his assists and his all-round play. It's great to see him return to form and his ball retention last night was top notch. It's always nice to have several players deserving MotM.

I think if he spent 60 seconds in the company of Jermane DeFoe, you'd be 100% correct.

Goal all day

You would have to be bonkers to go fight relegation instead of winning things and playing in europe when you are that rich.

I was shouting to take roofe off a minute or so before he scored as he was getting himself involved in couple of incident after being booked. 🙃

Chris McLaughlin @ChrisMcL16 · 5h James Tavernier has played 338 games for Rangers in just under 7 seasons. Hes scored 79 goals, 106 assists Hes missed only 10 games through injury. 29 Goals/Assists in Europe. 106 Goals/Assists in Premiership. He cost £250k. He's a RB.

Great news for Everton fans.

for me the keeper carried the ball over the line then thrust forward and collided with Ramsey.

In the Barisic handball, why did the ref point to the right first then the left to indicate no goal???? All our fans started cheering for the goal. Did he change his mind?

He's their best chance at staying up, and also getting straight back up.

So many great performances. I was surprised at how well Roofe played. He led the line well. The full backs were both great, but for me it has to be Lundstrom who was inspirational.

A toss up between Tavernier Lundstrum or Roofe ,step forward Mr Roofe .

I thought we got a bit sloppy once they went down to 10 men. Actually said to my son I can see them scoring and they did a few minutes later. It was a textbook corner and a well executed goal. Sore one to lose at the time but I'll give braga the credit for this one rather than pick holes in an otherwise strong defence on the night.

Ha! Arfield will be breathing a big sigh of relief today. That was a sitter for the ages. Thankfully it didn't mean anything in the end. We could and should have scored 6 or 7 last night.

A good win now let's win on Sunday, Mon the gers

Was thinking the same thing Bill. There have been some outstanding victories/performances/games in Europe over the last 4 seasons.

And Ramsey.

Every time we achieve something like this I can’t help thinking back to Peterhead, Montrose, etc. Look how far we’ve come.

We are in a European semi-final!!

You watching the right match?

I didn't manage together a programme at the Dortmund game so I ordered one from the rangers site. Some weeks later I still had not received it so I emailed them. After about a week I got a reply to say because of demand they had to send for a reprint and it would be sent out. A couple of weeks later, I still had not received it so I emailed again. No reply, but a week or so later I received 2 programmes, in different envelopes!
