| The gaffer enjoyed that one |
The young lad Ovie Ejaria scored a truly world class goal after gathering the ball just inside the opposition box and lets loose a wonderfully curled shot into the top corner of the net on 9th minute of the match. There was NO chance for the keeper.
FC UFA fought back and found themselves a reply on the 32nd minute through Sysuev.
The first red card came for Alfredo Morelos soon after on the 37th minute after an incident in the middle of the park. The second came deep in the second half on the 65th minute for Jon Flanagan as he picked up a second booking judged to be a foul on Zhivoglyadov.
Allan McGregor was the star man from here on in.

The veteran keeper showed why Mr. Ge55ard signed him back to Rangers in the summer transfer window with yet another magnificent display for Rangers the rest of the match.
The whole team showed their grit and displayed magnificently. A wonderful performance that sees Rangers through to the Europa League group stages.
The reaction from the gaffer?

Who wouldn’t?
An exceptional moment in the managerial career of the ledgendary Steven Ge55ard.
But it’s not all about the manager. As Mr. Ge55ard says the players deserve this.
