Every word the Rangers manager said to the media after the game 2-0 loss to Atletic Club Bilbao in Spain. What did you make of the game? I’m obviously disappointed. The work-rate was there but the quality at times wasn’t and I spoke about that to the players after the game. They understand that as well. It’s going to hurt, this one, but we need to go away and reflect a bit. That’s not just the players but myself too.

Rangers kept their Europa League dreams alive against the odds last night at Ibrox. This was a different kind of Thursday night experience in Govan, but no less significant. More Manchester 2008 than Seville 2022, Barry Ferguson’s side played almost 90 minutes with 10 men after Robin Propper’s dismissal and ended the game down to nine when Dujon Sterling was stretchered off. Having felt “empty” on Saturday, the interim boss was full of pride days later in the same dugout.

He is a player who Barry Ferguson, undoubtedly, sees a little bit of himself in. Nico Raskin’s first call up to the Belgium squad since moving to Rangers in 2023 yesterday was an example of the player he’s becoming but, according to his manager, Raskin remains so far away from the individual he can become. The 23-year-old was key over two legs as Rangers defeated Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce on penalties.
