THE overwhelming feeling expressed by Rangers supporters following their heartbreaking Europa League Final defeat, aside from anguish, has been pride. Pride that their team came so close to winning a major European final, particularly given their trials and tribulations over the past decade.
That they lost in the cruellest of circumstances, after Aaron Ramsey’s missed penalty in the shootout ultimately proved decisive, surely makes the pain of defeat sting that little bit more, but also makes their hearts swell that it came down to such fine margins.
