Rangers player ratings v Union SG as Colak defies critics and Lawrence gets cigar and slippers out

Rangers took to the Champions League stage hunting redemption - and they delivered in some style with a 3-0 win over Union Saint Gilloise in third round qualifier second leg action sealing a 3-2 aggregate success.

Antonino Colak and Malik Tillman had early chances to score the first of at least two goals the home side in Glasgow needed to stay alive in this tie. Colak had another chance somehow saved by Anthony Moris but he could do nothing to stop James Tavernier scoring from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time and giving Rangers' European chances a major shot in the arm. The club's new number nine then restored parity with another of his attempts, this one successful after a Scott Arfield shot was denied on the line by Moris.

John Lundstram almost completed the comeback but it was Malik Tillman who met Union's goalkeeper in no-man's land to head home the all-important third goal that sealed play-off progression, standing two games away from a coveted elite European group stage spot. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side had to overturn a two-goal deficit from the first leg in Leuven and did so tremendously. Here is how we rated the Rangers on a fine night at Ibrox.
