Rangers beat Braga 1-0 away from home this evening.
Rangers are into the last 16 of the Europa League after a superb 1-0 victory away at Braga this evening.
The Gers came from 2-0 down to beat Braga 3-2 at Ibrox last week, but some still felt that the Portuguese side would come out on top.
Rangers served up a superb display in the second leg though, and claimed a 1-0 win thanks to Ryan Kent goal as he raced clear in the second half to score.
Ianis Hagi’s first half penalty failure proved inconsequential in the end, and Rangers have gone through to the last 16 with a 4-2 aggregate win.
Steven Gerrard’s men were outstanding throughout, and tightened up at the back to keep a clean sheet, with Gerrard’s gamble really paying off.
Gerrard decided to drop Nikola Katic to the bench after his horror show against St Johnstone on Sunday, and brought in George Edmundson for just his 12th appearance of the season.
Edmundson was a rock in the heart of defence, with fans praising him as ‘outstanding’, ‘absolutely frightening’ and ‘brilliant’, believing he must now start more games.
Some even admitted that they were ‘terrified’ and ‘didn’t agree’ when Gerrard put Edmundson into the starting lineup, but are glad to have been proven wrong as Gerrard got it spot on.
