    More from Rangers match-winner Kemar Roofe, who tells TNT Sports the dressing room is "chaos".

    "It's full of emotions," he says. "Through hard work, we came here to get three points and we did it.

    "[Playing in Europe] is special, it's always been special during my time here."

    Kemar Roofe has just said there's no time to celebrate.

    Why? They're off to Hampden on Sunday.

    The Viaplay Cup final against Aberdeen.

    The last time Rangers made it to the Europa League last 16, their run ended in the city they're currently partying in.

    I'm sure you remember...

    We are quick to criticise, but huge, huge credit to all three teams this week.

    Celtic winning last night in the highest level European competition, Aberdeen getting a fantastic result tonight against Frankfurt, who are a very competitive Bundesliga side, and Rangers against a Real Betis who are unbeaten at home all season.

    Rangers have gone to Seville tonight and scored three, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have failed to win there. It is a monumental victory.

    It has been an amazing week for Scottish football.

    That win ends Betis' unbeaten home record this season.

    It's Rangers' first EVER win against a Spainish side on Spanish soil in European competition.

    It puts them into the Europa League last 16.

    Massive. Absolutely massive.

    And it is!

    There's no downplaying it, that's a HUGE win for Rangers. Huge.

    The biggest of Philippe Clement's tenure so far.

    The ball breaks to the edge of the box and Isco lines it up...

    He drags it wide!

    That's surely that.

    The five minutes are up...

    Betis have a throw. Last chance.

    Real Betis 2-3 Rangers

    Rabbi Matondo inexplicably tries one from range when he should take it into the corner and Betis come straight forward.

    Someone in green and white heads it, it trickles towards the far post but a scrambling Jack Butland claws it away.

    Two minutes of the added five to play and Rangers have a throw.

    They'll take their time.

    Sterling's been brilliant this second half.

    He's plugged gaps, he's covered the distance.

    Jack Butland comes off his line to claim a header back across his goal.

    Commanding stuff from the Rangers keeper.

    Real Betis 2-3 Rangers

    Sam Lammers can't find a man again and it results in Kemar Roofe taking one for the team.

    John Lundstram then looks to poke the ball through for Kemar Roofe, but it's just too heavy.

    Kemar Roofe, what a cameo.

    He does brilliantly to win Rangers a foul as the clock ticks down.

    Marc Roca rattles one from the edge of the box.

    What a hit it is, but Dujon Sterling tenses up and puts his body behind it.

    Some block, that.

    Abde Ezzalzouli fizzes one into the box, but there's Abdallah Sima to just take it on the chest, cool as you like, then he clears.
