I think it's a realistic target to finish third.  To qualify from this group would be an achievement of biblical proportions but then again I didn't expect to destroy dortmund or get to another Europa final.   Last time a keeper fumbled in the qualifiers we had a pretty good run that year,  hopefully lightning will strike twice!

Pretty sure that he can play in European games.

That clip of Gio & Coaching team says it all for me. Lets not forget that PSV got a bit of a sore tactical lesson from us tonight. From the minute we scored RVN looked at a loss to turn the game. He appeared to take the "headless chicken" approach by throwing on a load of subs none of whom made much impact. We really did control the final stages of the game. Apart from a couple of sloppy passes from Wright and Kent, they barely laid a glove. Total flat response from their fans as well. 

Well done to Gio & staff. A EL final and CL group stage  qualification in just over 3 months is MASSIVE. Many Congratulations Rangers!

Doing a huddle too!

Really! are you fucking serious? after tonights massive win you haven't even said well done!!!, think you need to change your sport mate, that is ridiculous!.

Think I'm going to need a bigger net!

What a result tonight!  There was a point that I never Thought I'd see this again in my lifetime.   I don't think it's sunk in yet how big this is for the club.   Gio seems to have the measure of the European scene.  He's pulled some fantastic results out the bag and i think there will be more to come.  We're not even firing on all cylinders either.  The hibs result had taken the wind out our sails but hopefully this is the boost we need to kick start our season.

It is also amazing what you can achieve without the weight of an SPFL referee hanging round your neck

I wouldn't trust the likes of Matondo, Sakala or Wright to have much impact in a game like tonight's. Arfield yes, but reckon he will come on later. Jack will still be burst from Saturday, first full 90 mins he has played for a long time. And Kamara - well who knows whats going on there.

Kamara is the last player I would have in that side.  Brings nothing to the party

2 2 lawrence

If we wanted to sell him the psv game would have been an ideal platform.  I can understand the anger surrounding morelos but I would have had him in the squad. We will need everything at our disposal on Wednesday.

Understandable in Davis' case as he hasnt been getting minutes.  He is STILL a Rolls Royce of a player - would be one of the first names on my teamsheets, particularly in European games.

We played a very high tempo in the first half and it took a lot out the players .   Gio needs to be smarter with his substitutions next time round.  And start players on form.  I think he's far too loyal to certain players.

Just watched the whole match again.

Evenly matched teams, poor ref, we can go there and get the correct result, it won't be easy but it is not to be feared and is achievable

Ref let psv away with murder I'n the first half, especially when we started to come into the game.  He could have and should have booked at least 2.   

Who?

Sands for me.  Getting heaps of un warranted criticism but he put in a solid performance.  Davis had a good first half but tired considerably in the second half.

I don't know why Matondo wasn't given some time. I though we missed his energy and composure in the box - Colak needs his type of deliveries. 

I would have played him over kent

[EDITED]

Last time a keeper fumbled we went through...just saying.

Davis is tired.

Haven't seen a single kick of the ball tonight but I'm getting magical 1990's tingling feelings about Colak. 

He's had about 3 touches!

We've got goals in us but we have to show more belief.  They're there for the taking.  Showing them far too much respect.

I like Tillman but for me he is too slow on the ball. He dawdles.

He's not at the races.   Think he's a bit overawed

We're making this lot look good

Till man needs to wake up.

Shaky first 15 but coming right back into it

Getting kicked off the park and the ref isn't interested
