Rangers players saluted by Giovanni van Bronckhorst as he hails character and defending set pieces

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has saluted his Rangers players after defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League.

Jurgen Klopp's men ran out 2-0 winners in the first of two Battle of Britain clashes with the duo set to go head to head once again at Ibrox next week. Trent Alexander-Arnold's free-kick and Mo Salah's penalty proved to be the difference on the night after a series of stunning saves from Allan McGregor to keep the away side in the contest.

Defeat means three losses in three games in the Champions League section with Napoli and Ajax also picking up three points against the Ibrox men in earlier group games. But despite defeat in this one, the Dutchman was proud of the character his side showed and the will to keep going. He also hailed their defending from set pieces as he turns attentions to St Mirren in the Premiership before Liverpool come to town, despite criticisms in the immediate aftermath that his side were too passive.
