Rangers have put the pride back in the blue half of Glasgow.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is seen during the Scottish Premier League match between Motherwell and Rangers at Fir Park on August 19, 2018 in Motherwell, Scotland.

Former Rangers stars have hailed the club’s battling Europa League display against FC Ufa.

Steven Gerrard’s players ground out a 1-1 draw on the night, to achieve a 2-1 aggregate victory.

It was even more impressive considering two harsh refereeing decisions reduced them to nine men.

Former Rangers striker Marco Negri offered his congratulations to Gerrard’s players.

Joey Barton was more villain than hero considering his chaotic Rangers spell, but he too made clear he was cheering his old side on.

The result was the perfect confidence boost for Rangers ahead of the Old Firm game this weekend.

Barton himself can testify that this one game can turn everything on it’s head.

This time, Rangers hope they can come out of the fixture with more praise instead of the usual soul searching.

Steven Gerrard has given everybody associated with the club real reason to believe.
