Yeah, I was worried that they were not so good in the first 20 minutes but then goals came raining from heaven
Gil Vicente up 3-0 at HT, so it will probably be them. Should be an easy path to qualification for AZ (unless the Portuguese curse strikes again )
Feel bad for the Dundee supporters. The packed the visitor's section and were singing loudly until the 30 minute mark when it became apparent they were no match for AZ. Some looked like they wanted check their phones to see if they could get an earlier flight back to Scotland.
I dont. They were causing a lot of shit before the match https://youtube.com/shorts/V6QWspYSO4E?feature=share
My predictions for next qualification matchups: PSV will advance vs. Rangers AZ will advance vs. Gil Vicente Fiorentina will advance vs. Twente

I'm going to miss this one as I have Board of Directors Executive Committee meeting this afternoon. Heading out shortly.
The Rangers lead goal was an early Sinterklaaskadootje by Benitez. What's wrong with the goalies in Europe atm. They're gaffing all over the place.
PSV needs to play better in possession and not get caught up in Rangers sloppy play. That said the Rangers first goal came off some beautiful passing. Ruud I believe only made one sub needed to shake things up. Give Simons a run. Game badly needed some cutting edge. Luuk De Jong stumbling around awkwardly for 90 minutes is tough to watch. Gakpo needs to play better and show his quality. Has been somewhat disappointing on the European matches so far. I don’t think he’s ready for that big money move at this moment. I think he’s too passive and not involved enough. He needs to dominate next week . Benitez terrible howler.
Players rating Rangers-PSV https://www.voetbalprimeur.nl/nieuw...e-obispo-en-sangar-scoren-hoogste-cijfer.html Spelersrapport PSV: één onvoldoende, Obispo en Sangaré scoren hoogste cijfer Gisteren, 22:55 Laatste update: 22:59 348 Reacties Ruben Winkels Walter Benítez blunderde opzichtig, maar PSV heeft dinsdagavond een goede uitgangspositie afgedwongen voor het bereiken van de Champions League-groepsfase. Het werd 2-2 tegen Rangers. VoetbalPrimeur maakt rapport op van een boeiende avond op Ibrox. Walter Benítez - 4,5: PSV lijkt eindelijk weer een keeper die punten kan pakken en rust brengt in de achterste linie. Met de nadruk op lijkt. Benítez ging verschrikkelijk in de fout bij de 2-1 van Rangers. Geen excuses. Jordan Teze - 6,5: leverde de assist bij de openingstreffer van PSV, al zal Teze er zelf weinig van hebben geweten. Als rechtsback speelde de verdediger, die liever in het centrum staat, een prima wedstrijd. André Ramalho - 6,5: leverde de bal te makkelijk in bij de eerste Rangers-goal en had daarna pech dat er een hoop misging. Met zijn ervaring bewees Ramalho (30) uiteindelijk zijn waarde. Armando Obispo - 7,5: is weleens te betrappen op een gekke bal, zoals in de aanloop naar de 2-1 van Rangers, maar Obispo is goud waard in de eerste weken van het seizoen. Met zijn laatste balcontact tekende hij voor de 2-2. Philipp Max - 6: had de bal breed kunnen en misschien wel moeten leggen toen PSV tien minuten voor tijd een uitstekende kans kreeg. Maar in tegenstelling tot Monaco-thuis viel Max niet volledig uit de toon. Ibrahim Sangaré - 7,5: met een zeldzaam doelpunt zette Sangaré zijn ploeg op voorsprong in Schotland. Deed weer precies waar hij zo goed in is: ballen veroveren. Ook aan de bal zit het nu wel snor. Érick Gutiérrez - 6,5: kreeg de voorkeur boven Guus Til en Xavi Simons, zodat PSV op het middenveld wat steviger stond tegenover de rennende en vliegende Schotten. Weinig op aan te merken. Joey Veerman - 6: PSV was vaak de bal al kwijt voordat hij bereikt kon worden. De klasse druipt eraf bij Veerman, maar de Volendammer kreeg niet veel kansen om het te laten zien. Ismael Saibari - 7: van de Keuken Kampioen Divisie naar de Champions League-playoffs, het zijn bijzondere weken voor Saibari. Hij had het lastig, maar vocht zich in de wedstrijd en kreeg in de tweede helft drie goede kansen. Luuk de Jong - 6: het was niet de avond van De Jong, die zijn eerste (en enige) kans in de beginfase om zeep hielp. De spits van PSV was veel bezig met de scheidsrechter en kreeg geel. Cody Gakpo - 6,5: kwam een stuk beter voor de dag dan in het tweeluik tegen AS Monaco. Uit zijn corner ontstond de eerste PSV-treffer. Gakpo bemoeide zich nadrukkelijker met het spel en zal met een goed gevoel terugkijken op zijn optreden. Invaller Jarrad Branthwaite - x: viel na 78 minuten in voor doelpuntenmaker Obispo en speelde te kort voor een beoordeling. Ruud van Nistelrooij - 6,5: opvallend was zijn beslissing om maar één keer te wisselen. Het zal te maken hebben met het feit dat PSV pas over acht dagen weer in actie komt, maar zijn ploeg kon in de slotfase misschien wel wat verse krachten gebruiken om erop en erover te gaan.
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62548886 Antonio Colak's excellent goal hauled Rangers level before half-time Rangers' hopes of ending their 12-year absence from the Champions League group stage are on a knife-edge after an enthralling draw with PSV Eindhoven. The Ibrox side fell behind to Ibrahim Sangare's thumping finish, only to hit back swiftly with Antonio Colak's well-crafted equaliser. Goalkeeper Walter Benitez's howler, spilling a Tom Lawrence free-kick, gifted the hosts a second-half lead. But they were denied a comeback win by Armando Obispo's 78th-minute header. Slick PSV then almost snatched victory in a breathless contest, with Jon McLaughlin making a sprawling save from Philipp Max. The sides meet again in the play-off second leg next Wednesday in Eindhoven to decide who progresses to the lucrative group stage. Reaction & as it happened Van Bronckhorst backs Rangers Rangers had fed off the intensity of a febrile Ibrox to burn past Union St-Gilloise in the previous round, overcoming a two-goal first-leg deficit for the first time in their history, but talent-laden PSV were a serious step up in quality. They had Rangers on the ropes for much of the second half as Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side struggled to match the electric home performances of last season's run to the Europa League final. It's the Champions League top table where Rangers now long to be and they travel to the Netherlands with their dream very much intact having posed PSV's vulnerable defence problems. Ruud van Nistelrooy - a long-time friend and former Netherlands team-mate of Van Bronckhorst - has begun his managerial career with his PSV team delivering a glut of goals this season. They wasted little time in showing their threat as Luku de Jong slipped between static defenders to clip a lovely delivery from Ismael Saibari narrowly over. The offside flag had been raised, yet the warning was clear. Malik Tillman, deployed just off lone striker Colak, tried to get Rangers going, sending a drive skidding straight at Benitez then jinking towards the six-yard box before a heavy touch spoiled his build-up work. Rangers were screaming for a penalty moments later but their appeals yielded nothing further than a VAR check after Connor Goldson's header hit the outstretched upper arm of Jordan Teze. PSV continued to look a menace on the counter-attack and after Rangers survived a let-off at a corner, with Tillman slicing an attempted clearance into McLaughlin's arms, the Dutch made their next one count. The impressive Cody Gakpo's delivery wasn't dealt with by Rangers and when Teze got a toe to the loose ball to tee up Sangare, the midfielder applied a thumping finish. Rangers' response was rapid and emphatic. Steven Davis' splendid pass sprung James Tavernier down the right and the full-back's cutback was expertly swept first time into the far corner by Colak for the striker's fourth goal in four games. The goal galvanised Rangers and Tavernier sent a header into Benitez's arms then Colak had a near-post effort parried away by Benitez. The momentum was soon punctured, though, as PSV began to assert dominance. Ibrox held its collective breath when a simple move cut the hosts open. De Jong's flick-on from a long ball was seized upon by Saibari, whose poked shot ruffled the side-netting on its way past. Saibari was in the thick of things, rifling a shot too high before darting into the box and forcing a low stop from McLaughlin. Rangers were hanging in there, and their grit was rewarded with a goal out of nowhere. There looked little danger when Lawrence's free-kick from 30 yards out bobbled towards Benitez, only for the keeper to inexplicably let the ball wriggle out of his grasp and trickle over the line. PSV did not let the howler prey on their minds, and struck back when Obispo rose to meet a corner and divert his header in off the bar. Man of the match - Cody Gakpo The Netherlands winger provided an assist for PSV's equaliser and was a threat throughout, showing the quality that has seen linked with Manchester United Rangers undone by set-piece frailties Van Bronckhorst will be concerned that Rangers twice - avoidably - conceded from corners. PSV possess plenty of height, but their opener was a scruffy affair stemming from a routine delivery that should have been dealt with, while Obispo was afforded too much space for the second. Rangers must provide sterner resistance next week. The hosts also found themselves stretched in midfield at times, with Gakpo and Saibari offering pace and width and PSV not afraid to go direct. Yet while only operating at their peak in bursts, van Bronckhorst's men showed resolve to secure a draw and trouble a defence that has conceded in all six games this season. Colak continues to grow in stature as the Ibrox side's striking figurehead, with the Croatia international having netted for the fourth game running. His link-up play and finishing prowess will be crucial in the decider. Tillman and Lawrence also offered glimpses of inspiration and Rangers will head to Eindhoven confident they can create the chances to progress to the Champions League promised land where a £30m-plus windfall awaits. What did they say? Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst: "We gave everything. At moments we played really well against a quality side. The differences in 90 minutes weren't that big. "Happy with the performance, we could have had a better result but also worse. So everything to play for next week." PSV Eindhoven manager Ruud van Nistelrooy told BT Sport: "First half Rangers were the better team, we struggled. The fans were behind them and we had to go through a difficult phase. "The better of the chances were for us in the second half and 2-2 is a fair result." What's next? Rangers have a Scottish Premiership trip to face Hibernian on Saturday (12:30 BST) before their Champions League fate will be decided in the second leg with PSV next Wednesday (20:00).
