everything to play for - good performance 

[azpi28]

All things considered it’s a good result with some of the chances PSV didn’t take

Agree, great goalkeeping. A tense, close game. All setup for next week. Probably a fair result tonight. Need to avoid silly errors. PSV's second was soft. Will be interesting to see if there any changes to the team next week. Now for the spoon burners on Saturday. I'm in London next Wednesday so will have to find a pub to watch the match. Will check to see if the Chelsea Pensioner is showing the match.

Thought the ref was okay. Damn sight better than Taylor.

Fergie was at the game tonight. Chatting to John Greig. Of course they played together back in the day. 

[azpi28]

It’s a bit unfair that the Dutch football federation can just reschedule the PSV game in the weekend so they have more time off

Probably got tired of watching that sh*te in Manchester

Agree. Sadly the Scottish FA aren't that sensible.

It’s beneficial for the development of the league and the Scottish players if they play in the CL. No brainer really to reschedule 1 game

Very much so. The SFA forgets that Rangers performances in Europe for the last few years have been beneficial to Scottish football as Scottish clubs have gone up the UEFA rankings.

Morelos letting everyone down again. I thought he'd wised up.

[Boyne]

So Alfie isn't travelling to Eindhoven due to lack of fitness and his attitude. @carrickblue like you I thought he had wised up.

Have just watched the tribute to Walter again. A great programme about a great man and manager. One of the greatest ever Rangers managers. Some wonderful tributes from the likes of Souness and Ferguson.

There was f**k all else on TV so thought I would watch something decent.

A somewhat bizarre image being used by BBC Sport as their lead story tonight ... fairly indicative of the absolutely desperate state of the world right now LOL

Good luck Rangers anyway !

[Boyne]

Get in there!. Come on Rangers.

[azpi28]

Yes!! Get in

[Boyne]

Looks like PSV are starting to get a bit rattled and ill-disciplined.  Hopefully Rangers get a second. As for Rangers goal, was the PSV goalie copying Mendy?

Edit: saying that, some of the tackles by Rangers players have been a bit wild. Earlier in the game there was a great shot by Lawrence which hit the bar.

Get in there. Well done Rangers. A few tense moments but I think Rangers deserved it. Worked really hard. Some great defending.

Now for the group stages. Just hope that Rangers and Chelsea don't draw each other. Now if Chelsea draw Celtic that's a different story.

Congratulations!

Would be some atmosphere. Supporting Rangers as long as I've followed Chelsea I can sing along to songs by both sets of fans.

The last ten years has been an incredible journey for Rangers. Dropping down to the lowest tier of Scottish football in 2012. The journey back up the divisions. Winning the league in 2021 for their 55th title.  The Europa League final last season - sadly they didn't win - and now qualifying for the group stage of the CL.
