Rangers withstood relentless Red Star pressure as they survived a Marakana onslaught to book their place in the Europa League quarter-finals.
The hosts were on top from the opening minutes in the second leg in the knowledge they had to claw back a 3-0 deficit from the whirlwind first meeting at Ibrox and Mirko Ivanic got them off to the perfect start.
But after spurning chance after chance Ryan Kent's deflected effort left the noisy home crowd crestfallen at the Marakana, leaving the inspired hosts with too tall a mountain to climb.
