Very proud of the team. Finishing top of the group and making the last 16 is a tremendous feat.

Happy blueflag, in behind enemy lines

As bad as they have been at times, credit to Lammers and Dessers for staying fit and available. And giving 100% when they play. Dessers made a real difference last night and (whisper it) may be adept at leading the line on Sunday.

Thought that was one of our best away performances of all time tonight alongside Dortmund a couple of years ago. However important games still lie ahead this month. Don’t forget that. A win on Sunday is essential. And a win at the bheggardome would send a clear message to all our enemies

That Valencia team were up there with the best I've seen at Ibrox

The John Lundstram MOTM award goes to John Lundstram.

We should celebrate victory the way we have always done and not start behaving like a diddy club because of a few years of adversity.

Anyone reckon Isco would be up for an EBT?

Last night will be forgotten if we fail on Sunday against the typical red "wall and sneak a counter-attack-goal" style we are facing in Scotland nearly every week. My biggest point of bother is not the quality of players we have, which has IMHO increased this summer, but the way we go about our business in most of the league games, player- and tactics-wise. Hence my remark about bringing Hagi back. People were and are saying that Shankland or Miovski shall be an option, back then and nowadays. Yet, had we played Shankland back then when he was first linked (and regarded not good enough) or would play him now like we do with Dessers, Danilo, Morelos et al, he would probably fail to deliver as well, up alone against packed defenses. For - outside the OF games - he hardly has to cope with that sort of defending. Get Dessers and Roofe on alongside one another on Sunday, one the physical threat, the other the predator, and we will reap the benefits. Wee remark: no doubt Kent had his qualities, but Sima is far more the left-sided goal-scoring attacker our current system requires and demanded for years.

Yet another great Rangers night in the Europe, pumping Betis to top the group (forever green my arse). Even though he has a similar amount of injuries to what GVB had to deal with, Clement has our team playing for each other. Hopefully he will get some players in this January window. Next up Abersheep in the League cup final on Sunday. C’mon The Famous. I must admit no more European football for the manky mob this season brings a smile to my face too. WATP

My favourite comment of a truly wonderful evening came post match from Derek McInnes. He was talking over a rerun of our second goal and when big Cyriel turned inside two Betis defenders he said, "Dessers decides to become Archie Gemmill then nutmegs the keeper". It was that kind of night.

Very interesting competition, the League Cup. Some facts. Little-fancied Partick Thistle and Raith Rovers both won sensational finals against a club from Glasgow’s east end and it wasn’t Clyde. East Fife had won the trophy three times before that same Glasgow club had even got to the final. Rangers and Aberdeen have met in the final six times, with the Famous winning five including the very first in season 1946/47. The Rangers side that notable day was: Brown; Young and Shaw; McColl, Woodburn and Rae; Rutherford, Gillick, Williamson, Thornton and Duncanson Ever dependable Willie Rae in for Sammy Cox and Eddie Rutherford for Willie Waddell and unusually, Willie Thornton at insde-left. Jimmy Duncanson cantering about on the left wing scored twice and Torry Gillick and Billy Williamson once each for a 4-0 result. I demand the same score or better on Sunday, the goals spread evenly throughout the game. No extra time and no bad starts or nervy last twenty minutes. I’m too old for that sort of nonsense.

Well let's hope he doesn't read Gersnet.

All we have to do is convince the players that Sunday afternoon is actually a Thursday evening, Hampden is in Spain and Aberdeen are Real Betis - job done

Looking forward to it tbh, we've just got to give it f***ing everything.

exactly when it's over lets have the Govan flute band walk with us all the way back to George square for a right good old sash bash

Frankfurt had already qualified and couldn't improve their standing in the table, so you can play it down.

We're surely gonna throw wages at him then 😉

F that. Celebrate everything like its our last and best. If the last 11 years have taught me anything its that we should lord it up over any cup.

SykesBear a couple of weeks ago... "Celtic took 6 off this shower. 6! And we needed a penalty to snatch a f*cking draw. Pathetic. We're winning nothing under PC. Bookmark this. Save it. Do whatever you want, he's winning nothing here. The club is toxic."

A victory parade for the League Cup? Have we sunk so far?

Lundstram for me but the save from Butland where the goal was disallowed for what was either a handball or offside was perhaps the most vital moment of the second half (up until we scored).

As a side note, I think that boy Borja Inglesias is the worst striker i've ever seen. And i watch Lammers every week.

Phil should put that pic up in the locker room.

After last night's performance we don't need any new players.......😀

incredible effort. 3rd on the list.

Last night's result will be a massive boost for the players. It certainly is for the fans. We've got to be at it from the whistle. Let's do this Rangers.

Just watching it back again, Dessers doesn't half do well on the first goal. looked at first like it kinda broke off him, but on second viewing he definitely knew what he was doing, off balance too. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Nice one, Cyriel.

I hope beating Celtic will send us to the top of the league

Manuel Pellegrini being a respectful, decent bloke. @Uilleam

See all you numpties on here who have slagged ''your team'' all night...............................away and lay in your shite...............

I've never understood the weirdo's who film our penalties. Why would anyone not be in the moment. Plus it's a jinx

3 boys called McGinn. From a catholic Clydebank family. Grandfather ex chairman of Celtic fc. And the SFA. All Celtic daft. All 3 professional footballers. Stephen, Paul and John. All went to Celtic supporting high school st Columbus in Clydebank where I believe their mum was a teacher. none of them played for Celtic at any level at all I believe. very curious case that.

Yes. Kemar cant play 90 minutes in 90 days. Blue tinted glasses after last night? Dessers has to start on Sunday

Gaizka Mendieta is the best midfielder I've seen at Ibrox, absolutely bossed us and looked as if he hardly broke sweat.

Brilliant. And we are not owned by sportswashing Middle Eastern states. We've struck a blow against the so-called 'elites' who are nothing more than balance sheets assembled by AI.

Is it Sunday yet

We had a dip in two big games but we've come back well from that. Let's get a trophy in the cabinet.

Roofe comes on. Will he finish the game?
