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

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!

Never in doubt, we were always going through !!!

 

Truthfully, never saw a clean sheet and a win coming.

USG (A) seems a long time ago now.

First competitive defeat for PSV since mid-April

First European away win since Dortmund

 

Four away games at PSV, 4 different decades, 3 wins and a draw.

5 goals scored at PSV, all second half and all at the same end. 

Alex MacDonald, Derek Johnstone, Bobby Russell, Jorg Albertz, Antonio Colak and a mention in dispatches for Tommy McLean (3 assists)

 

We left it for the last of 3 opportunities to get into CLGS  but we got there.

 

Real Madrid

Liverpool

Inter Milan

Rangers

 

Porto

RB Leipzig

Shakhtar

Rangers

I agree. PSV did seem at a loss. The commentator made the point that unlike their previous game with Monaco, the seemed to have accepted their fate. However, having said that, when Colak was substituted the pessimist in me was screaming "if they score in the dying seconds, we've no centre forward for extra time"

I think de Jong going off really took the wind out of thier sails. Which is nice.
