Panathinaikos 1 – 1 Rangers

Djeidi Gassama quickly wins a place in the hearts of Rangers fans, as he got out of the bench to score against Panathinaikos with the Scottish team’s progress in the Champions League qualifiers.

The Russian Martin team advanced 2-0 to Athens, but it was far from the convenience in the heat of the burning, as the hosts accumulated pressure.

Jerus Jack Putland goalkeeper was once again the early hero as he produced a series of first half on the Olympic stadium to save his stumbling defense.

There was a long VAR examination before giving the Filip Duricic Panathinaikos head the initiative in the second half.

But the summer signature made Gasama his fingerprint as he did in the first stage, as he fired at a tie less than one minute after Findlay Curtis replaced after recovering two goals.

Rangers will face 3-1 victorious in a total of Victoria Blzen in the third qualified round, with the first stage in Abrox on August 5.

Gasama is chasing the nerves with Rangers approaching the rehabilitation of the Champions League

Rangers had to resist some early pressure as the hosts looked at a tie with a series of attacks.

Tasos Bakasetas widely released from the post during the first five minutes before Facundo Pellistri forced a decisive stop from Butland.

The former goalkeeper of England was forced to work again before the break when he turned closely to Fotis ioannidis.

Panathinaikos continued control and Pelstry had to score mid -road during the first half when Duricic benefited from defending the recession, but failed to get his shot on the target.

Rangers struggled to get out of the private half, although Niko Raskin is close to playing the game when he headed Joe Rothuel over the bar.

The host side broke the serum 10 minutes after restart when Doric went in the past Potland to make it 1-0 at night and reduce the deficit.

The target was initially excluded for infiltration, but was granted after the lengthy VAR examined that the Serbian is beside.

However, Rangers regained his progress on almost two goals immediately when Jasama launched a shot after the Panathinaikus goalkeeper at least the first touch of the European League until Christmas.

Martin: We will grow from this

Rangers Main trainer Russell Martin Speaking to BBC Scotland:

“I just said to the players in the dressing room, I am proud of them.

“To be five weeks in this process, from where they were where they were incredible.

“It is never easy from home. It was a really difficult place. They really dug and it would be important to us. Big John (Souttar) and Nasser (Djiga) was great. Jack Potland was great on the two games, we needed to rely on it less.

“We talked about the importance of submarines before the game and they did wonderfully.

“This is not a feat. We have qualified for the European League and now we can attack the Champions League.

“We will improve. The group will grow a lot from this.”

Boyd: Rangers rode their luck, but Martin will not care

Chris Boyd He was watching Sky Sports News:

“I thought in the first half that there were similarities with the game in Glasgow, but Russell Martin will not really care.

“I know that he talked about how he wants perfection, and he wants to improve his team after the match. I think the most important thing when you reach this stage is to find a way to reach. Rangers did so.

“Yes, they sometimes installed their luck. Jack Butland had some huge rescue operations in the first stage and had another few tonight.

“It is a huge result for Sice Martin and Rangers to a draw, because if Rangers lose, there are many people who ask Russell Martin and the way they want to play because he gave up many opportunities on both legs.

“But they have found a way to pass, and this is all that matters to Rangers now.

“This team has cut a long and long road, even most likely to reach this level from another (Rangers) team to play the Champions League.

“Some of the exciting players have arrived at Rangers, but Russell Martin is not ridiculous and will know that there is a lot of work to do.

“They will delude their chances to pass this following qualifiers, but they will have to tighten defensive.

“Panathinaikos was asking a question after a question about Rangers defensively. They stood tonight, but whenever you go in this type of championship that you imagine that the front lines would improve the opposition.”
