'Energy of Ibrox crowd' made Rangers score against PSV, says Peter Bosz

PSV boss Peter Bosz was left with “mixed feelings” after drawing 2-2 with Rangers at Ibrox last night.

The Champions League play-off in in the balance heading into next week's return fixture in Eindhoven following a pulsating night in Glasgow.

Gers attacker Abdallah Sima curled in a terrific first-leg opener just before the interval but the Dutch side levelled through midfielder Ibrahim Sangare just after the hour mark.

As play raced from end to end, substitute Rabbi Matondo scored his first Light Blues goal in the 76th minute before PSV captain Luuk de Jong levelled with a header four minutes later, and the match ended in a repeat of last year’s score at the same stage of the competition.

Reflecting on the contest, Bosz said: “I am never afraid of anything. I always think ‘go for it’.

“Even if I was there last season (when Rangers won), my mentality would be that this season we are going to make it.

“I felt we would be dominating here and they would play the counter-attack real well and really fast.

“That is how they scored their second goal. They had the energy of the crowd.

“We have to play a lot better in the return or we will not make it through. What do we need to do? Score more goals and don’t let stupid goals go in against us.”
