Antonio Colak was the Rangers goal hero as Giovanni van Bronckhorst's put in another famous European performance.
It was a Dutch of class from his Light Blues as they ran out 1-0 winners on the night in PSV's own back yard to take the tie 3-2 on aggregate and with that secure a spot in the Champions League group stage. Reaching this stage of the competition comes with a huge financial windfall for the club as the Ibrox men get set to mix it with Europe's elite once again.
The players, fans and management can now start dreaming of facing the likes of Real Madrid, PSG, Liverpool and the big names in club football as the famous Champions League anthem and big nights under the lights get ready to return to Ibrox. Rangers had their distractions in the build-up with the Alfredo Morelos situation and the delays with their team bus reaching the Philips Stadion but they put that all to one side for a night to remember in Eindhoven.
Here are three things we learned as Rangers join Celtic at the top table of club competition.
Change of role?
James Sands showed he has real potential to play as Connor Goldson's regular centre-back partner.
The 21-year-old reads to game very well and often wins his duels.
Some key tackles throughout the tie against PSV and has the speed to cover the ground when required.
Has his moments with loose passes out from the back in dangerous positions. An area that can be improved but certainly has huge potential.
