00:002-0 up, and walking out into the searing Athens heat.
00:04Rangers could be in big trouble, and Butlin comes out.
00:08Options in the middle, Ioannidis is one of them, and his header is straight at Butlin.
00:13That is always the danger.
00:15Djuricic pulls it back, and it's sliced high and wide.
00:18He managed to get to the interval without conceding.
00:22Jack Butlin with a couple of saves.
00:30Welcome back.
00:34Panathinaikos players just making their way back out onto the pitch for a massive 45 minutes.
00:40Before we get the action underway, I just want to apologise to all Romans watching this,
00:45because I think I described Athens as the eternal city at the end of the first half.
00:53It was, of course, the classic city.
00:55So, renaming capital cities now is the latest trick.
01:03Anyway, we move on.
01:04We move on.
01:07It's the Rangers players entering the stage.
01:12The Italian referee.
01:14Rangers have negotiated Champions League qualifying just once in the last six attempts.
01:21They're doing so as they look to get through this tie.
01:28They don't need to win it.
01:29They've beaten Grixayce twice in the last ten attempts to do so.
01:37One of those was last week, and how crucial it could be.
01:40There will be moments in the first half, but you saw it through to the interval.
01:52You saw Panathinaikos players were clearly irked that they hadn't managed to find the opening goal.
01:59And they had opportunities to get it as well against a Rangers side that went all the way to the quarterfinals in the Europa League last season.
02:12Eventually beaten by Athletic Club in second leg in Bilbao.
02:16As Rothwell gets the second half of the second leg underway.
02:25And so far, Stephen Thompson for Rangers, so good.
02:30Well, kind of, yeah.
02:31I mean, I wouldn't have said it's been a particularly inspiring performance.
02:34However, they haven't conceded, and the kind of big worry was that they would concede an early goal and then be under massive pressure.
02:41They have been under sustained pressure, but so far they've managed to keep the ball out of the net.
02:46It'll be a bit of good fortune, some good goalkeeping.
02:52Rangers up the ditch early on here.
02:53The Holt fans already think Rangers are playing for time.
03:11Just about came through to Danilo.
03:15They haven't been able to prevent that.
03:18It was, you can see that's who was doing his utmost to prevent Rangers getting an early second half corner kick here.
03:28There can be no denying the importance of the next goal in this tie, if there is to be one.
03:42Rangers get it just about there.
03:44They come here.
03:53The answer's no, comes to nothing in the end.
03:57Yeah, a lot of the corners, certainly the corners the Rangers have had, have been in that back post area, that one again.
04:03John Suter just couldn't quite get enough on it.
04:14Another sore one for Cziracic, he's in a couple of those tonight.
04:28Once upon a time.
04:29He just stands in his foot.
04:30Once upon a time, scored against Scotland.
04:34Cziracic, he did it in both games against them in the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign.
04:40Missed the more recent meeting between Serbia and Scotland, that Euro 2020 play-off.
04:49Switched from back of Setas.
05:08Win by Kiriakopoulos.
05:10Was that a trick?
05:13Was it a trick?
05:14The referee doesn't think so.
05:15I don't think so either, Liam.
05:17I think he just loses his footing.
05:20It was good play from Panathinaikos to switch a play there.
05:25It's a wide road pass into the box, but for me, he just loses his own balance.
05:29We'll see here in the replay.
05:35No chance.
05:36You can generally tell from the reaction of the player.
05:39I don't know.
06:09Zakopoulos over on that far side, and it's well defended, ultimately.
06:16There's a couple of important interventions tonight, Dill.
06:19Dill does well there to get ahead in it, because if his body's in the box,
06:22it's not getting it, it was good play down that left-hand side.
06:24A little bit of a weighty passing behind.
06:28Another problem to defend for Rangers though.
06:33It's Djuricic.
06:35Short on this thing to Pellistri.
06:39Pellistri waited too long, Danilo there to meet him.
07:00You can see the Rangers are just going to take so much time over.
07:04Throw-ins, free kicks, bye-kicks.
07:06Game management.
07:08Just see the clock down.
07:10Only five minutes of this have gone already.
07:12This is the first wave of pressure on the Rangers' defence since the break.
07:19This is the first wave of pressure on the Rangers' defence since the break.
07:35At what point in a two-legged tie like this, when you're 2-0 down in aggregate,
07:46do you start thinking we're not getting this back?
07:49I don't think, I really don't think you ever stop thinking that you're going to get back
07:53in the game.
07:53As you pointed out in the first half, you know, it only takes a second to score a goal.
07:57I don't know whether that goal comes.
07:59If it does come from Panathinaikos in the 89th minute, they'll still think they've got a chance.
08:03I don't know.
08:14Innings for Raskin.
08:19So they didn't cut infield rather than using Gerdes.
08:25Diamante for Dawo.
08:27Caught in the hop there, the Rangers captain, Yanidis will chase, Suter goes with him.
08:41Yeah, it wasn't the best ball through to Yanidis, he couldn't quite get his touch but
08:51again, just get caught on the ball, it's happening too often throughout this game, sloppy.
09:19It's Billy Street, Curtis took the momentum away from.
09:26Let's see this back to Pacacetas.
09:33Let's see this back to Pacacetas.
09:40Let's see this back to Pacacetas.
09:47Let's see this is on to it here.
09:54They are probing.
09:55That's a brilliant ball as well from Pacacetas and Butlan can't keep it out but the flag's
10:01gone up.
10:02The flag's gone up against Djuricic.
10:09Celebrations are stopped for now.
10:11The ball ends fantastic, I do not think he makes the connection he wants, Djuricic with
10:18the ball at all and it kind of flummoxes.
10:20Jack Butlan will get a better look here.
10:21Jack Butlan will get a better look here, oh this is going to be tight you know.
10:27I'm not sure if he is off.
10:28Well, Butlan was bamboozled wasn't he?
10:29Yeah, I mean he doesn't get the connection he wants but that's a fact.
10:34Well they are all, Panathinaikos coaching staff as one, they are all having a go at the referee
10:35here.
10:36Marcek's underway.
10:37The match is underway.
10:38What do you think?
10:39Jack Butlan will get a better look here.
10:40Well, this is going to be tight you know.
10:41I am not sure if he is off.
10:43Well, Butlan was bamboozled wasn't he?
10:46Yeah, I mean he doesn't get the connection he wants with the head but that's a fact.
10:49Well, they are all, yeah, Panathinaikos coaching staff as one, they are all having a go at the referee
11:01here.
11:02Varchek's underway.
11:12Well, they all clearly think Juricic is onside here.
11:16From the pictures, we've only seen one still.
11:19It certainly looked incredibly tight.
11:22Well, Valerio Marini is the VAR.
11:37When you saw the pictures yourself, you could see how tight it was.
11:44The other question for Rangers is how Juricic has managed to find himself in that space at that time.
11:52Oh, the eyes on Simone Sosa.
12:06See the two tweets.
12:08How long can it take?
12:27Well over a minute now.
12:28Well this is a huge moment in this tie and it's coming relatively early in the second half.
12:43If this goal stands...
12:48It's going to be a long next 35-40 minutes or so, that's for sure Liam.
12:55The Rangers fans in the heavens off to our right, hearing their numbers.
13:04Rui Vitoria, the Portuguese in charge of Panathinaikos.
13:11Very animated down there on the touchline, they think this is a goal.
13:15Again, it's one of those of it's taking this long to make the decision that it has to be.
13:26Yeah, it's given.
13:34Filip Juricic...
13:38...has trimmed the Rangers lead in the tie.
13:41And Panathinaikos in front on the night.
13:46It's very much game on now.
13:49Well that is Liam.
13:50And you know they have created numerous chances throughout the match so far.
13:53Looks like Rangers are going to make a substitution here.
13:56Yeah, Curtis off and Gasamo got their second goal.
14:03Yeah.
14:04Currently the goal that has Rangers in front here.
14:08And it's becoming clearer that the winner of this is going to be facing the Swiss side Servet
14:13because they've just gone 1-0 up on the night.
14:15I guess it's Victoria Pilsen from the Czech Republic.
14:18And that means that they are 2-0 up overall now.
14:26I mean you've got to say there was a bit of fortune about the goal.
14:28I mean the ball in is decent.
14:31What Rangers were doing defensively, I'm not entirely sure to leave him in that space.
14:35He does not header it the way he wants.
14:37And it does kind of wrong foot Jack Butland
14:40but he couldn't quite recover to stop it, trundling into the net.
14:43It has been slightly surprising.
14:47They've taken till 55 minutes into the second leg to actually score a goal.
14:52Given the chances they had at Ibrox last Tuesday.
14:55Given the opportunities they've had here this evening.
15:01Finally.
15:04Got the goal that they feel they deserve.
15:06And Rangers are bang up against it here.
15:08It's Juricic once more.
15:10Not quite.
15:15What a let off for Rangers that is.
15:17It's John Suter this time, there's been so many guilty of it all evening.
15:20Driving forward with the ball, gets it nicked off of him.
15:26Just wonder whether he needed to put as much pace on this as he did.
15:29Very, very close to making contact, did it need to be fired in with quite as much pace.
15:38Another let off.
15:39How concerned have you been with the Rangers defending across the two legs of this tie, including the concession of that goal?
15:47What I would say is they've been fortunate not to have conceded more goals throughout the two ties.
15:54And a large part of that has been Jack Buttman making good saves, but some of the defending has been self-inflicted, putting pressure on yourself.
16:04Yes, it's a new back four if you like.
16:08Giga in there and Max Aron's probably clean out of position as well.
16:12Doesn't help matters, but I haven't looked all that tight, I wouldn't have thought.
16:21That's a lovely flick from Gissaba, here's Raskin.
16:24Can he come up with here?
16:27Another big moment, Rangers, it's Danilo on the turn, he gets a second chance.
16:31And then Gissaba!
16:37The two goal advantage is restored!
16:41And the Rangers supporters have a new hero in Chahidi Gissaba.
16:48What an impression he's made in his first two Rangers appearances.
16:53It's the ultimate super sub, isn't it? Come on.
16:56In the first leg and his goal was absolutely outstanding.
16:59Stan with virtually his first contribution in the match.
17:03On this occasion, he's in the right place at the right time.
17:05He started to move with the lovely wee flick on.
17:08Round the corner to Raskin.
17:10It comes out to him and he absolutely catches it flush.
17:14Went off the far corner post.
17:15Great finish from him.
17:18He's just on as well.
17:20Come on in the wake of that Juricic goal.
17:22Tell you what, that's brilliant.
17:23He's checking it beautifully, hasn't he?
17:25That's brilliant.
17:26That's brilliant.
17:27Very difficult one to hit as it's rising up to him there at pace.
17:31He just keeps his eye on it.
17:33Gets really good contact.
17:35What a finish.
17:37What an impact he's made.
17:39Incredible.
17:40I did think he'd make a start tonight, but maybe...
17:44Russell Martin's thinking he needs more minutes in the legs before he starts them,
17:48but he can't really do much more.
17:51He's just arrived from troubled Sheffield Wednesday.
17:56A youth player at Paris Saint Germain.
17:59He'd won appearance for them against Montpellier.
18:03In a league match a few years ago.
18:06He had two seasons at Hillsborough.
18:10Twelve goals last season, and that is two and two in a Rangers jersey.
18:16And boy, did that silence this place.
18:20Apart from that pocket of support.
18:23Just as the Panath and Icos crowd had got their tails up,
18:26they were back in the game.
18:32That's come at a great time as well,
18:33because they've not allowed too much time to elapse,
18:36where they'd be stewing on the fact that Panath and Icos were right back in the tie.
18:46Oh, that got the stuffing out of the hosts.
19:03They'll still get time.
19:04They'll know that.
19:05One more goal and they're back in it,
19:06but as the game's got a wee bit more open now in this second half,
19:10Panath and Icos and Searcher trying to get back into the game while leaving spaces.
19:15Rangers now have the pace of Gassama on there,
19:18and the trickery and the directness to go and exploit that.
19:25Remember, if Rangers come through this tie,
19:26they are guaranteed at least Europa League football till the end of January.
19:30Just when Panath and Icos would have been like a raging rule,
19:51looking for that equalising goal in the tie straight after they scored the opener.
19:57It often happens you're that kind of excited and energised by the goal that you score
20:02that you just switch off a wee bit.
20:04It's a good day, I'm trying to switch.
20:13It has to be very careful there.
20:16Well, he's having a pop at his goalkeeper.
20:20Free kick will stay me all nerves, but who's at fault for that one?
20:29Well, he's looking at Jack Butlin because he wants him to come out.
20:33Jack Butlin wasn't coming out, but he's still got to then take control of the situation himself.
20:37James Tavenier cleared the danger.
20:40He was about half a second away from getting it nicked off him.
20:43So, incidentally, Bakacetas and Gassama were both booked in the wake of that equaliser on the night for Rangers.
20:55Gassama was giving it some to the Panath and Icos supporters.
21:00I jumped on the adult-sized boards.
21:03I jumped on the adult-sized boards.
21:05I jumped on the solo on benchmarks.
21:08Theесс did it!
21:09Det ik voals, get out, get out, get out.
21:26I got these but nothing.
21:28But at the time we're not looking at the time.
21:31He's very busy.
21:32I got the choice at eating肌 too.
21:34The sirens will come to Rangers over the course of August, they are close to completing a deal to sign. Highly rated Spurs forward, Mikey Moore, 17 year old, huge things expected of him, looks like he's going to spend the season at Eidrox.
21:55The others. Clearly, the players leaving the club as well.
22:11De Sam is penalised.
22:16Just need to watch that, he is on that yellow card now.
22:19Yeah, he just got his legs tangled up, he's trying to go to the other side if he can defend that.
22:28I just love how positive he was every time he got the ball last week at Eidrox, obviously he scores the very, very good goal, but when he got the ball he was trying to make things happen, he always went forward with it.
22:39A couple of changes coming for Panathinaikos and one of their joint scorers from last season, Tete, the Brazilian, will be coming on.
22:51A couple of changes.
23:10A couple of changes.
23:14A couple of changes.
23:15A couple of changes.
23:17For that tab, he's on a one-two.
23:19Crazy, the biggest.
23:20The Brazilian.
23:21And there's a total of in-depth.
23:22A couple of changes.
23:23And there's a double form, all the race for Panathinaikos!
23:25From comes scottenas who member Vagiridis from the start tonight.
23:27The Slovenian.
23:28Adam Cheney comes on.
23:29Magacetas who will be replaced by Tete.
23:33began his senior career
23:38and Shakhtar Donetsk
23:39he is Brazilian
23:41big Brazilian contingent there

24:32Servette still lead the tie though
24:352-1 as it stands
24:38next Tuesday or Wednesday night
24:40it would be Rangers against Servette
24:42the third qualifying round
24:45in place in the Champions League
24:48playoff round to come after that
24:51he beat Servette two years ago
24:54at that stage
24:56still work to do here though
25:01we are into the final quarter
25:03of the second leg
25:04yeah you can see that coming
25:10yeah
25:10hopefully not that they can injure but
25:12but there's what could have been
25:14noise for a minute
25:15that's a lovely spin there
25:30from Juricic and he's won the free kick
25:31as Pilsen scored again
25:34so it's now all square
25:36in that tie
25:38a couple of quick goals
25:39Servette one
25:39Pilsen two
25:402-2 an aggregate
25:41as Juricic was clipped
25:44by Diamande it's a bit clumsy
25:45yeah it was a naughty one
25:46right down his calf
25:48really dangerous position now
25:51for this delivery
25:52let's hope Rangers defend it better
25:54than the last one
25:55new set peace taker here
26:03in Teti
26:04there's the movement
26:11there's the
26:11header
26:13it goes
26:14the
26:15opposite way
26:17from where Panath and Icos
26:18were hoping it would go
26:19it's well played by Rothwell
26:27sticking his guns
26:30well yeah
26:31tidying up
26:31Teti
26:34it's a great ball
26:36and the groans from the home fans

26:43Maksimovic
26:46and Ionides
26:47are not far away
26:49well they both had to die for it
26:51didn't they
26:52the quality of the ball
26:53then is absolutely sensational
26:55it's such a dangerous area
26:56all it needs is a
26:57tiny wee touch
26:59I thought it was
26:59going to sneak in
27:00the far post
27:01without a touch itself
27:02but
27:03another let off
27:04for Rangers there
27:05Ionides
27:09howling at the heavens
27:10for answers
27:11they've been so
27:18profligated at times
27:19kind of the night
27:19class
27:20yeah and if I had a chance
27:21he's over the two legs
27:22there's no doubt about it
27:23here
27:23less than 20 to play
27:37with a 90
27:39too bad
27:45he's got himself
27:46locket aimed at
27:50Buckland's goal
27:50it's not something
27:53that we've seen them
27:53do too often
27:54he's letting it fly
27:56from distance
27:57trying to usually work it
27:58or get it wide
27:59he catches it well
28:00but it was always drifting
28:01as soon as it left his boot
28:01you could see

28:25how comfortably are the
28:34Rangers supporters
28:34sitting right now
28:35do you think
28:36watching this
28:36I think they're not bad
28:39to be honest with you
28:39I think
28:40if Rangers obviously
28:41not
28:41managed to get a goal
28:43back in the game
28:44then it would have been
28:44a completely different
28:45story but
28:46it's not that many
28:49that was obviously
28:49a big chance
28:50just moments ago
28:51but
28:51it's not that many
28:53since Rangers scored
28:54it's not like
28:55they've been peppering
28:56Rangers goal
28:57well the entire

30:34Jephte on
30:38to
30:38replace him
30:40Nascom
30:48Jephte on
30:55Raskin thought he got a wee bit of the ball there, see what he played coming in now, nah.
31:16He certainly injected some more life into the Panathinaikos team though hasn't he,
31:21yeah he's looked very sharp since he came on, obviously had that wonderful ball in, but he does look as always a threat.
31:29Probably going to have a pop here, it's quite far out.
31:32Teti has left it, Michael looked in the wall, but will hold on.
31:53It's a bit of a waste actually.
31:5630 yards out it was, I mean.
31:59Ambitious.
32:01Can Rangers get to full time with little or no drama?
32:20It's Kusama.
32:21Here's the difference.
32:27There's two goals that the Rangers are in this commanding position.
32:41There's two goals.
32:50Three goals.
33:01Three goals.
33:05Shoot.
33:10And a couple of changes coming for the home team.
33:14She saw a moment ago, Team Yedvai, Felicia International.
33:20FANTS OF THE WORING TEAM RAIDERS OF THE WORLD LAPA KINDER AND PRESIDENT
33:23TO REBATE IN THEIR SEATS AFTER THE END OF THE MATCH.
33:26THEY WILL BE MODIFIED BY THE POLICE AUTHORITIES ON WHEN TO LEAVE THE TEAM.
33:32THANK YOU.
33:34That is enough.
33:36Quite a loud PA system, that.
33:40Just a bit.
33:42Meryl Swinderski, Polish striker, is the other.
33:46Panevin Aikos sub.
33:48They've got to go for it now, Liam, haven't they?
33:50He's reached that stage of the game.
33:5215 to go.
33:54Added time maybe as well, but...
33:56Got to roll the dice now.
33:58We saw Swinderski against Scotland in the Nations League last autumn.
34:08Starting the game in Warsaw.
34:10John Suter's wonderful cross found ahead of Andy Robertson.
34:16Palmer Brown off, Yedvay.
34:18Replaces him.
34:24Palmer Roman Leverkusen.
34:26Defender, Yedvay.
34:28He's watching Kielum dabble out of your picture.
34:40He's walking the tunnel down below us here.
34:42He looks absolutely knacker.
34:44He can understand that.
34:46Yeah, I mean, playing in this humidity,
34:50he is not easy at all.
34:52I think he actually took a bit of a knock
34:54before he went off as well.
34:58Shkishabak.
35:00Jeff Day.
35:06Shkishabak.
35:08Shkishabak.
35:10Getting towards the closing stages,
35:24and Rangers' lead means it two goals.
35:28Despite the Juricic VAR offside drama,
35:34Panathinaikos briefly ahead on the night.
35:40Botting up by Rothwell.
35:48Aarins who's gone out to the right side.
35:50Accommodate Jeff Day.
35:56It's a poor one.
35:58On that occasion.
35:59Rothwell.
36:04Two Panathinaikos girls hit the deck there.
36:07I mean, it's not been a brilliant performance from Rangers,
36:11but I suppose in these types of games,
36:15knockout, then the performance is secondary.
36:19It's all about the result, and if they manage to hang on,
36:21especially if they manage to hang on to a draw,
36:23that would be a fantastic result in a very difficult venue.
36:27Difficult conditions as well.
36:29Yes, they've rode their luck throughout the game,
36:31but they've still got a great achievement.
36:35They've got himself back into a really good area there.
36:49sensing that the cross was going to be cut back,
36:51but he couldn't quite get a hold of it after that.
36:53Yet another corner for Panathinaikos.
36:55And from Teti.
36:57Vendeski won the head.
36:59And from Teti.
37:01Vendeski won the header initially.
37:05Another chance to put it out left.
37:07Teti's ball.
37:31Right through to Butman.
37:33And that is exactly what Russell Martin was looking for.
37:38100%.
37:39Just wasted another bit of time.
37:41Looks as though Rangers are going to make another couple of subs as well.
37:43At least another wee bit of time.
37:45Dessers and Bayrami.
37:53Suter rather overcooking it there.
37:55Yeah, over the course of the two ties,
37:57he's done that on about three or four occasions,
37:59just driving forward with it and getting nibbled off of him.
38:03He's done a lot of good things over the course of the two legs there as well.
38:05A lot of good blocks and defensive clearance headers.
38:15Danilo will come off.
38:17Dessers will replace him.
38:23And it will be by Ramy for Rothwell.
38:25Remember, tomorrow night, Dundee United in the Conference League
38:28against Dina Strassen there in Luxembourg.
38:30The second leg leading 1-0.
38:32Live on Sports Sound on BBC Radio Scotland.
38:35That's a 6pm kick-off UK time,
38:38followed by Hiberni and Michalon in the Europa League.
38:42Both those ties at the second qualifying round stage
38:44by the respective tournaments.
38:46That is 1-1 after last week's first leg in Denmark.
38:52Great to see them both win.
38:54The coefficient could be doing with that.
38:58A boost this term.
39:00At the end of the campaign.
39:02The season that Rangers got to the Europa League final.
39:06Drops off.
39:08Plenty of points collected.
39:10In that season.
39:12Try and make up the shortfall.
39:14As many teams as possible.
39:18Not just taking part in major European competition,
39:21but winning.
39:22I guess it's trying to ride the challenge.
39:26Duba comes out on top.
39:28So yeah, more European action on the radio tomorrow.
39:35And then on Friday night.
39:37Right here on the BBC Scotland channel.
39:39It's Arbroath against Air United.
39:41The first SPFL league fixture of the season.
39:44From the Championship.
39:45Gayfield.
39:48It's police three for Panathinaikos.
39:50Rangers still with work to do here.
39:53Buckland holds on to it.
39:54I thought he was going to catch it higher than he did.
39:58He could have let it drop a wee bit.
39:59I was slightly concerned for a second.
40:00But he gathered it.
40:01That's the main thing.
40:10Rangers opening their league campaign.
40:12Away to Motherwell on Saturday.
40:145.30.
40:15Kick off that one.
40:20Yeah, not a lot of time for them to recover.
40:22They've been straight home tonight.
40:24By all accounts.
40:30The Motherwell game been on Sunday.
40:32They would have stayed overnight here.
40:34Because it's a three and a half, four hour flight for them.
40:37After it's been an energy sapping evening on the pitch.
40:41That's all breaking down for Panathinaikos.
40:45Yeah, they seem to have lost a wee bit of their rhythm.
40:47Not really looking as much of a threat as they did.
40:49Time's running out.
40:50Perfect for Rangers.
40:51You need this is being replaced.
40:52He's going to be replaced by the Swedish striker, Alexander.
40:57You need this.
40:58You need this is being replaced.
40:59He's going to be replaced by the Swedish striker, Alexander.
41:00You need this is being replaced.
41:04He's going to be replaced by the Swedish striker, Alexander.
41:06You need it then, Jeff.
41:21in the Congress League qualifiers with Haken.
41:35She's a bit jumped out of her skin there.
41:42Yeah, nice that they turned the PA up even more.
41:48You actually jumped. I did jump, yeah.
41:52Oh dear.
41:56Rangers have got five minutes plus stoppages to negotiate
41:59and they are going through to the next stage of Champions League qualifying.
42:03Against the odds as well. This was the toughest task they could have faced.
42:07Yeah.
42:08When the draws were made. They could have had Servette, I think Brand Bergen was another one.
42:12This was the tallest order, wasn't it?
42:14Very difficult time.
42:16I mean, I think Panathinaikas looked at the two legs and think it could have gone their way.
42:21You know, if they'd taken the opportunities that they've had and there's been a number of them.
42:26But Rangers were clinical when they had to be.
42:28Carried a wee bit of luck. No doubt about it.
42:30Obviously they're sending off in the first game helping them as well.
42:35But, as I said, none of that matters. All that matters is that you're into the next round.
42:40And they'll fancy themselves.
42:42They'll fancy themselves.
42:57They can only watches you.
43:01It wasn't a great passway, Ghasama you have to say though.
43:06Wie seeing Rangers finish in style here.
43:10good move this
43:26had to be
43:31cut out there by
43:33Maximovic
43:34probably Rangers best
43:37spell of passing and movement
43:39in the game I would say
43:41really incisive, good football
43:43just the final
43:45piece of the jigsaw from Jeff
43:47they couldn't quite find
43:48Dessler's taking their time over the corner
43:51can't blame them
43:52Rangers so close
44:03to guaranteeing themselves
44:04league phase European football
44:06for this season
44:08minutes away
44:10really deep from Tavernier
44:16and it's way too deep in the end
44:18and the only thing that's done
44:20I suppose is
44:20wasted a few more seconds
44:23off that clock
44:25yeah he's normally a lot better than that
44:26dead ball, ooh that's a slack one
44:29as was that
44:36even more so
44:39Raskin
44:41it's Widerski chasing
44:46fairness to Raskin
44:48he absolutely busts himself to get back into a position
44:51where he can
44:51redeem himself when he does do it
44:54mopping up
44:55he puts down such a power of work
44:57Panathinaikos
45:04facing the Europa League
45:06third qualifying round tie
45:07with Besiktas
45:09or Shakhtar Donetsk
45:11Ukrainians 4-2 up from last week's first leg
45:16it's half time incidentally
45:34and Geneva
45:34serve at 1-1 Pilsen 2
45:362-2 in aggregate
45:38Rangers have to
45:42wait to find out
45:44who they'll be facing
45:45over the next couple of weeks
45:47first leg at home
45:49Jeff Day's lost out
45:51on this near side though
45:52to Philly Street
45:53and there you go again
45:55and now
45:57the Panathinaikos players
45:59are being berated by their supporters
46:01on this occasion
46:03wildly over the bar from Cherry
46:05yeah it was really poor defending from Jeff Day
46:08in the first instance
46:09getting too tight
46:10getting rolled
46:11cut back to the edge of the box
46:13he's just leaned back
46:15well over the bar
46:19I mean that kind of sums up
46:20the finishing over the two legs really
46:22it's 15 shots at goal
46:24as you saw there
46:25tonight yeah
46:26we'll add in the ones from the first leg as well
46:27but yeah
46:28they will feel as though
46:30they've not done themselves justice
46:32in terms of their quality
46:33of their finishing
46:33given the opportunities that they've had
46:35well
46:39there are plenty of
46:40Panathinaikos supporters
46:41heading out of the stadium
46:43and you don't see
46:45the dramatic turnaround here
46:47you just never know
46:54no you don't
46:56we were both in Oslo
46:57when Scotland were 1-0 down to Norway
46:59going into the last minute
47:00yeah that was something else that
47:02Philly Street
47:04oh Portland almost outfoxed by that
47:07comes in from the other side
47:11away by Suter
47:12Tete
47:13Diamonde clears
47:16check the fourth official
47:19see how much stoppage time
47:20is being added on
47:21by the Italians here
47:22five minutes
47:23to the first of them
47:26Tete can only find
47:29the gloves of Portland
47:30additional nine
47:31they are so close now
47:34Rangers
47:34yeah that was a wee nerdy moment though
47:35wasn't it
47:36cross spinning
47:37didn't know if it was good
47:38enough
47:39far post of Portland
47:41he didn't know where it was going either
47:43hopefully it didn't
47:45would have been on every last five minutes
47:47he's kind of fallen out of the game
47:49in the second half
47:50Tete is much more prominent
47:52yeah they've lost a lot of energy
47:53yeah
47:54they start the second half
47:55then they get their goal
47:56but since then
47:57they've kind of
47:58I don't know
48:00just haven't got the intensity
48:01that they had
48:02although it's difficult
48:03to keep that up
48:03you know
48:04let's see
48:06Tete
48:14over this free kick
48:16there's something to cling on to here
48:20the Greeks
48:20Tete
48:31he's coming from an onside position
48:32there he's on to it
48:33the ball on the right
48:36does not want to use his right foot
48:37no
48:38Raskin comes away with it
48:41Dessers ahead of him
48:41how well has he timed it
48:43Cyril Dessers
48:44chance to absolutely
48:45wrap this up for Rangers
48:47but Dragovski
48:48keeps him out
48:49huge opportunity
48:51to kill the tie
48:54yeah man I loved that
48:55wouldn't he
48:56his movement and timing of his runs
48:57excellent
48:58many times have we seen him
49:00go through one on one
49:01with the goalkeeper
49:01he just don't know what's going to happen
49:03I think he kind of
49:04telegraphed it a bit though
49:06the goalie knew exactly
49:07where it was going to go
49:08maybe he could have lifted it
49:09maybe he could have gone round him
49:10in the end
49:11really comfortable save
49:13we were talking about it
49:19when it happened last week
49:20the red card for Vajinidis
49:22that sliding doors moment
49:24where just before that
49:26Jiga
49:26passed back into his own box
49:28gave the ball away
49:29could so easily have been
49:30that Panathinaikos goal
49:32which would have
49:32equalised on the night
49:34then came the red card
49:35and everything seemed to swing Rangers way
49:38that was such a
49:38massive moment
49:39in the tie
49:40over the two legs
49:41huge moment
49:41what have Panathinaikos got left
49:54Jirenyev
49:58caught Nafanko
50:00yet high does
50:13just enough
50:14it's a Rangers ball
50:18good from Dessler's you know
50:19that was just a ball
50:21into the channel
50:22worked ever so hard to put the defender
50:25under pressure
50:25buys another couple of
50:27vital seconds
50:28for his team
50:29as they
50:30try to
50:32look the way down the clock
50:34here
50:35can only be a matter of seconds left
50:37Rangers will believe that
50:45they can
50:46get to the league phase
50:48of this tournament
50:48because
50:49it could be that
50:51Panathinaikos are the toughest
50:52opponent they face
50:53in this qualifying campaign
50:55don't know who they're going to get
50:56in the play-off
50:57no that's the biggie isn't it
50:58clearly
50:58if they get through the next
50:59round
51:00however this must give them
51:01all kinds of belief
51:02well
51:02will I
51:03there's no doubt about it
51:04I think the other side of that
51:06is the team ready for
51:07Champions League
51:08if they were to get there
51:09given what happened
51:10the last time
51:11Rangers were in the
51:12Champions League
51:13I'm not sure
51:14this team's
51:15maybe even as strong
51:17as that one
51:17time will tell
51:18as the course of the season
51:19unravels but
51:20certainly would be a welcome addition
51:23in terms of the finances
51:24no doubt about that
51:25they've watched their neighbours
51:30rack up
51:30Champions League
51:32campaign
51:33after campaign
51:34Stephen's right
51:38it was
51:39full of horror stories
51:42the Europa League
51:42has been
51:43much kinder to them
51:45yeah it was a hard watch
51:46let me cover all the games
51:47careful
52:01Tavani ran into trouble there
52:04but it's just about full time
52:08Rangers want to win the match
52:12as well as the tie
52:13that should be
52:16just about that
52:17Italian referees
52:19and a little look
52:20at his watch
52:21and he sends
52:22Rangers through
52:23to the third
52:25qualifying round
52:26in the Champions League
52:27Jairi Gisama
52:29is the big hero
52:30for Russell Martin
52:32scoring in both legs
52:34after making
52:35cameos
52:36in the two games
52:38after
52:40Juricic
52:41had reduced
52:42the arrears
52:43to one
52:43those goals
52:46from Curtis
52:47and Gisama
52:48in Glasgow
52:49last Tuesday
52:49have proved crucial
52:50as is Gisama's
52:53tonight
52:53wonderful take
52:54from him
52:55and Rangers
52:57are through
52:57to face
52:58Servet
52:58or Victoria Pilsen
53:00in qualifying round
53:02three
53:03in the Champions League
53:04and what they've also
53:05done
53:06is they've guaranteed
53:07at the very least
53:08Europa League
53:10league-faced football
53:11until the end of January
53:13a tough tie
53:16has been overcome
53:16a big hurdle
53:19in the shape
53:21of Panathinaikos
53:22who once again
53:25misact on dining
53:27at the top table
53:28of European club
53:30competition
53:30but for Rangers
53:33their
53:33dream continues
53:36and they themselves
53:38can't get back
53:39to the Champions League
53:41proper
53:41and they are
53:44a third of the way
53:45there
53:45because they have
53:46dispatched
53:47Panathinaikos
53:48in the Champions League
53:49and they have
53:50a third of the way
