'Team showed fantastic mentality' - Bealepublished at 22:07 British Summer Time 15 August 2023
FT: Servette 1-1 Rangers (agg 2-3)
Rangers manager Michael Beale tells BBC Scotland: "We made a really slow start, we needed to dig in. At half time we had to have some strong words as it wasn't what we were looking for.
"It was an excellent goal we scored. After that we could've extended our lead. The team showed a fantastic mentality. I was pleased with the second half.
"We were too passive first half. Second half we were up the pitch, won more duels. We have to decide what team we're going to be. It shouldn't take to get to half time to do that."
On a "huge" play-off with PSV, Beale says Rangers will "have a right go" and "go hell for leather" at Ibrox next week.

Kevin Thomson
Former Rangers midfielder on BBC SportsoundIf Cantwell plays at 10, and he's allowed to roam, he can be as good as anyone. He's such an intelligent footballer.
When the shackles are on him, he's less influential, so Rangers have to let him create and be the catalyst.

Steven Thompson
Former Rangers striker on BBC SportsoundThe half-time whistle came at a good time for Rangers. They started the second half with an intensity that was missing in the first.
Rangers looked dangerous and didn't allow Servette to imprint their mark on the game, they lost their way a wee bit which allowed Rangers to control the game more.
Still, though, it's not a 90-minute performance from Rangers.
'We're a new team gelling together' - Tavernierpublished at 21:54 British Summer Time 15 August 2023
FT: Servette 1-1 Rangers (agg 2-3)
Rangers captain James Tavernier tells BBC Scotland: "The most important thing is we're through. We're disappointed not to get a clean sheet but we're happy to get to the next round.
"Second half I thought we were much better so I'm delighted we're through. We changed a few things at half time and got around each other.
"Defensively we let them through us too easily. It's a new team, it's about gelling together and continuing to work hard. It's there but it's about being fully concentrated."
On next week's play-off first leg with PSV, he adds: "We have to put a real marker down at Ibrox."

Rangers need to 'iron out mistakes'published at 21:43 British Summer Time 15 August 2023

Neil McCann
Former Rangers winger on BBC ScotlandThis is going to be a really tough game, but they've approached that hurdle before and got over it.
They've faced them plenty of times in the past for big prizes.
They need to iron out some of the mistakes, particularly what didn't work in the first half.
PSV await in the play-offpublished at 21:41 British Summer Time 15 August 2023
FT: Servette 1-1 Rangers (agg 2-3)
It's official: It's PSV in the play-off again for Rangers.
After a 2-2 draw at Ibrox last August, the Ibrox side went to Eindhoven and earned a priceless 1-0 win in the second leg.
Are you backing Michael Beale's men to repeat the feat?
