Ryan Kent’s second-half goal secures Rangers a 1-0 win at Braga, 4-2 on aggregate, and renders Ianis Hagi’s penalty miss irrelevant 7.07pm GMT

Ryan Jack: “Everyone’s been having a dig at us and rightly so, the mentality of the group has been questioned but hopefully that’s something to build on this season. To a man we bought into the gameplan and it got us a result.”
Ryan Kent: “The boys know recently it’s not been good enough. We demand more of ourselves, we went out there and showed what we are capable of doing. I missed an easy opportunity in the first half, the goal is a bonus, the fact we’ve got through is special for the football club. We’re the underdogs in this competition, there’s less tension and expectation in our play so we play freely. Tonight we got what we deserved.”
