Gers fans, are you ready to think about Sunday yet?
It's no biggie, just the small matter of an Old Firm semi-final at Hampden.
That was a gruelling 120 minutes but surely your players will be sky high after that tonight?

We've seen the magnificent Rangers against Dortmund, the slightly off it Rangers against Braga last week, and then the dominant Rangers without taking chances tonight. Who would bet against them going through again?

They made hard work of it, but Rangers are in the semi-finals. RB Leipzig are currently behind Borussia Dortmund, who Rangers knocked out, in the Bundesliga. Rangers will go into that with belief.

FULL-TIME: Rangers 3-1 Braga (3-2 agg)published at 22:34 British Summer Time 14 April 2022
Wow. What a tie. Again.
Anyone able to remind me what happened at the start of the game?
I'll try my best. Two from James Tavernier in the first half and one from Kemar Roofe in extra-time have seen off nine-man Braga.
And breathe.
