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...
5. Nasser Djiga
As with Souttar, might have been more commanding in the air. But the Rangers defence were being stretched constantly. Another testing outing where the young defender will have learned a thing or two. 6 | Getty Images
6. Nicolas Raskin
As when he came on against Dundee at the weekend, he won most of his tackles in an energetic opening spell but would have wanted to make more of an impact on a night when Rangers often seemed overrun. 6 | SNS Group
7. Mohamed Diomande
Elected to keep the ball in during the move that led to Rangers’ all-important goal when some might have taken the corner. Turned out to be the right decision when Danilo’s attempt from the midfielder’s cut back was swept in by Cameron. 6 | Getty Images
8. Lyall Cameron
One of the few to emerge from a torrid evening with credit. Tidy in possession and he had one acrobatic effort in the first half that went over before the moment he will always remember, when he applied the necessary touch to turn Danilo’s slightly scuffed effort into a goal at exactly the right time. 7 | Getty Images
