Rangers defeated Servette 3-2 on aggregate to reach the Champions League play-offs; the Second leg ended in a 1-1 draw. Dereck Kutesa opened the scoring for Servette; Captain James Tavernier headed in the equaliser in the second half.
A header from Tavernier salvaged a 1-1 second-leg draw and a narrow 3-2 aggregate win over Servette after a hard-fought game in Switzerland.
Rangers’ 2-1 lead from Ibrox was cancelled out by Dereck Kutesa’s wonderful strike as Michael Beale’s side struggled in the first half.
Danilo missed an unbelievable chance to equalise for the visitors, but they were much improved after the break. Nigerian international Cyriel Dessers, who came on at the 61st minute should have made the tie more comfortable.
The result sets Rangers up for a repeat of last year’s play-off against PSV Eindhoven as the Scottish Premiership runners-up bid for a second consecutive campaign in the group stages.
