Rangers shocked Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce with a superb first-leg win in Istanbul, which gives the Scottish Premiership side an excellent chance of reaching the Europa League quarter-finals.
Cyriel Dessers capitalised on a defensive lapse early on to squeeze a shot over the line before Caglar Soyuncu could hack the ball clear.
Youssef En-Nesyri and Eden Dzeko threatened to bring the hosts level before Alexander Djiku did bring them back on terms with a stunning volley.
Barry Ferguson’s visitors appeared to have lost their early momentum but they found themselves back in front with a superbly executed goal, Vaclav Cerny finishing following a one-two with Dessers.
Dessers netted twice more in the second half as Rangers proved a real threat on the break, but was found to be offside on both occasions by VAR.
However Cerny did get Rangers’ third, finishing a superb counter with a cool finish to earn a splendid victory and maintain the Ibrox side’s fine European run of form.
