Rangers 3 – 0 Union Saint-Gilloise

Rangers produced an impressive comeback to beat Union Saint-Gilloise 3-2 on aggregate in their Champions League qualifier and book their place in the play-off round.

After losing 2-0 in Belgium last week, Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side were up against it at Ibrox but James Tavernier’s penalty (45) just before half-time gave them hope.

Thirteen minutes after the break, Rangers were level on aggregate thanks to Antonio Colak’s header before Malik Tillman completed the comeback (78) to send the hosts through to the play-off round.

There was brief concern before Tillman’s winner when James Sands was shown a second yellow card for a last-ditch challenge, but the decision was overruled by the linesman.

And it was the visitors who would end up finishing the match with 10 men when Lazare Amani was sent off with seconds to go as Rangers secured a memorable victory.
