Blown away Phillipe Bormans admits Union Saint-Gilloise were hit with a Rangers hurricane to leave his side's Champions League dream in tatters.
The Belgian upstarts arrived in Glasgow full of belief but were outgunned by Gio van Bronckhorst 's side en route to a comprehensive 3-0 defeat. USG will now head to the Europa League, while Rangers eye a return to European football's top table after a 12-year absence after James Tavernier, Antonio Colak and Malik Tillman struck. They face Ruud van Nistelrooy's PSV next.
Speaking after the defeat, USG chief Bormans said: "Obviously we are disappointed, I think we have to be. We were close but we have to be honest too. It was deserved. They won, they started this match well from the first minute, with a bit of luck of course. If this first goal does not fall, we return to half-time at 0-0. But in the end, it's football, we have to stay correct. Today, we were under a pressure that we had never known. The speed of play was enormous. This team played in the Final of the Europa League a few months ago, it was seen.
