John Lundstram was the hero for Rangers tonight.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side have beaten Red Bull Leipzig 3-2 on aggregate to reach the final of the Europa League.
The Gers were narrow underdogs to progress into the showpiece after losing the first leg 1-0 last week.
However, Rangers produced a stunning performance at Ibrox tonight to see off the Bundesliga outfit, winning 3-1 on the night.
Lundstram, signed by Steven Gerrard on a Bosman last summer, scored an 80th-minute goal which ultimately saw the light Blues advance into the final, which takes place on May 18.
Here’s how Jamie Carragher reacted on Twitter:
The Liverpool-born midfielder signed for Gerrard last summer after his Sheffield United contract expired.
And honestly, it had been a difficult first few months in Glasgow for the 28-year-old.
But he’s been a massive player for Rangers under Van Bronckhorst throughout the calendar year and his goal tonight was fully deserved following another influential performance.
It had the potential to be an all-British final at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium in Seville in a couple weeks, with West Ham United contesting the other semi-final.
However, the Irons suffered a 1-0 defeat on the night – and 3-1 overall – against Eintracht Frankfurt, who Rangers will now face.
