Rangers and PSV shared four goals as the Champions League play-off showdown first-leg ended in a draw.
The Dutch giants were a real step up in quality for Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men as they look to get over the final hurdle and secure a spot amongst Europe's elite.
Ibrahim Sangaré opened the scoring for the visitors as he turned home from a corner after a scramble to clear the ball. But the advantage only lasted three minutes as Antonio Colak was on hand to superbly turn home a lovely low ball from skipper James Tavernier to level the scoring on the night. Tom Lawrence then fired home from a long-range free-kick after a howler from Walter Benitez in the Dutch goal but his blushes were spared by Armando Obispo.
It's set to be a cracking return tie in the Netherlands in eight days' time with the huge prize of Champions League group stage football and the massive pay day that goes with it, up for grabs. It all comes down to potentially 90 minutes of football. Here are three things we learned from this first-leg showdown in Govan.

Midfield Maestro
Steven Davis showed his class throughout as he demanded the ball on every occasion from his Rangers teammates.
Brings a real calmness to Van Bronckhorst's side in the high intensity atmosphere.
Has never looked out of place on the big stage. Will no doubt play a major role once again next week in the Netherlands.
The veteran was replaced with 20 minutes left on the clock after a solid shift in midfield.
Col on me
Antonio Colak made it four goals in four games with a stunning low finish to level for Rangers at Ibrox.
A striker full of confidence as he continues to find his feet in Van Bronckhorst's side.
Another hard working display up top as he closed down defenders and battled for the ball. Went very close to a second.
Looks a real quality addition.
Go the distance
This was a real battle of two quality sides.
PSV are a massive step up from third qualifying round opponents Union SG.
Another huge 90 minutes awaits in the Netherlands with a spot in the Champions League group stage awaiting the winner.
