Rangers roared into the Champions League play-offs after they overcame Union Saint-Gilloise and a two-goal first-leg defeat in an inspiring showing at home to win 3-0 and 3-2 on aggregate.

The hosts had it all to do after losing in Belgium, but goals from James Tavernier, Antonio Colak and Malik Tillman gave Giovanni Van Bronckhorst’s side a spirited victory at Ibrox.

The Scottish side were by far the better team in Glasgow compared to their uninspiring performance in the first leg against a Union side who had Lazare Amani sent off late on.

They will now face PSV Eindhoven in the play-offs as they bid to return to the group stage for the first time since 2010-11 season.
