And Rapid, who everyone had down as the weakest of our 3 opponents, have beaten Spartak.

You never know with the Russian sides. When they turn up, they can rip you apart. But if they don't they may look very ordinary. That said, one would have to see at least the highlights of their game. Had they had the same amount of luck with their goals as Bacca's hit and hope shot ...

Great result!  I wasn't expecting that.

 

Shame Arfield didn't finish the job.  

 

I hope we take confidence from this and get even better results against Rapid and Spartak.

 

Also, I think that's a nice £200k in the bank for that point.

Apparently about 26 degrees and 80% humidity in Villareal. Makes the result even better

Proud of that performance. Showed guts desire and passion to get back into it. That was our Rangers out there tonight...... it's been a long journey but we are getting back

Just wow.. that has certainly cheered me up

[Doc 280]

Delighted with that result. Some real guts shown by the team and a quality finish by Lafferty.

 

This is light years from the shambles of last season. Well done to the team and the management who have turned things around and given us belief again. Plenty more to do though. Let;s go!

Very good second half performance and what a result, very proud bear tonight. Our traveling fans were magnificent and out voiced the home crowd easily for most of the match. Special praise to big Laff for the composure to score our second equalizer, and young Middleton was just awesome when he came on. Dorrans  is like a new player for us and what footwork to almost snatch the win.

We took a point away in what should on paper be the toughest match we have to face in this group. And considering this wasn't our strongest 11 I think we can look forward with confidence.
