Tavernier sends Rangers into Champions League play-offs

Rangers have advanced in the Champions League by securing a 1-1 draw against Servette in Switzerland, keeping their hopes of making the group stages alive.

Despite Scots' 2-1 lead from their home match at Ibrox, Servette managed to level in a challenging first half when Dereck Kutesa scored an impressive goal by sending the ball into the top corner.

Michael Beale's men significantly improved their performance in the second half, and they regained the lead in the overall tie just five minutes into the second half. 

James Tavernier scored with a header at the back-post, resulting in a 1-1 draw for the match and a 3-2 lead on aggregate.

Now, Rangers will face PSV Eindhoven in the playoffs. This comes a year after their victory over the Dutch team at the same stage of the prestigious European competition.
