Steven Gerrard’s men gave their supporters something to celebrate as the team earned a 0-0 draw which gave them a 3-1 win on aggregate to ensure progression to the play-off round of the Europa League qualifiers.

The game, however, was momentarily held up when objects thrown in the vicinity of Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor had to be cleared.
