Rangers progressed to the Champions League play-off round despite a 2-1 defeat to Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday night.
Leading 3-0 from the third qualifying round first leg at Ibrox the previous week, Russell Martin’s side emerged as 4-2 winners on aggregate despite a sloppy display in the Czech Republic as Miroslav Koubek’s side were left to rue a series of missed opportunities to turn the tie around.
Lyall Cameron’s first Rangers goal midway through the second half - diverting a Danilo effort into the net from close range - proved crucial as it helped settle nerves of the Glasgow side after Rafiu Durosinmi had put Plzen ahead on the night four minutes before half-time to threaten a comeback.
Svetozar Marković restored Plzen’s lead on 83 minutes but Rangers held on to secure a play-off tie against Club Brugge, who beat RB Salzburg 4-2 on aggregate.
Here is how the Rangers players rated for their performance...
9. Oliver Antman
Having looked almost unplayable last week in the first leg, his performances against Dundee and now Viktoria Plzen in the second leg are reminders that he is still only 23 and adapting to a new country and team. Didn't stint on effort. 6 | Getty Images
10. Cyriel Dessers
Might have won a penalty in the first half when he was bundled over by Sampson Dweh, but referee wasn’t interested. Didn’t last long in the second half after falling awkwardly and hurting his knee. Rangers will pray it’s nothing serious. 5 | Getty Images
11. Djeidi Gassama
Never looked like adding to his European goals tally. Pulled one shot well wide in the second half and was booked in the first half for an off the ball incident. 5 | Getty Images
12. Substitutes
Danilo for Dessers: Part to play in the goal. Rothwell for Diomande: Slow to react at Plzen’s winner. Dowell for Cameron: Not booed on, which was a bonus. Tidy with the ball. Bajrami for Antman: Tried his best to keep hold of the ball. Cortes for Gassama: Little time to make an impression. | Getty Images
