Rangers surpassed Braga in extra time to advance to the Europa League semi-finals, where they will face RB Leipzig. Kemar Roofe scored the game winner as Rangers survived a first-leg deficit to beat Braga in extra time.

With a 1-0 deficit from the first leg, the Scottish champions got off to a flying start, with James Tavernier finding the net after just 70 seconds as Joe Aribo flicked on Borna Barisic’s cross.

Rangers made it 2-0 on the night just before half-time, thanks to a raucous atmosphere inside Ibrox, when Tavernier struck from the penalty spot. Braga was reduced to ten men after Vitor Tormena was dismissed.

Roofe felt he had scored yet again, but his effort was chalked out for offside after a VAR review, but they appeared to have done enough to advance in normal time.
