Rangers’ dreams of the Europa League ended with an athletic club as they reached the semifinals to hold their hopes in winning the tournament in their stadium.
Rangers went to Bilbao with a conviction after a crucial sentence Liam Kelly in Ibrox, but Cyriel Desers remained a demolished shirt, but there was no video after Daniel Vivan knocked him early in San Memes.
John Souttar gave the benefits of Laligue an advantage when he confessed to the sentence shortly before halftime. Oihan Saint sent Kelly wrongly as fans erupted at home.
Rangers lost Ridvan Yilmaz, Ianis Hagi and Leon Balogun due to injury before Nico Rskin saw his effort crashed into a place while the side of Barry Ferguson fought for the equalizer.
But Nico Williams, a target for Arsenal, wrapped the victory with a brilliant back header after decaying concentration from Gers Captain James Tavernier.
The side of Ernesto Valverde will play either Man UTD or Lyon in the semifinals, while the Rangers output leaves them without any game for this season.
European adventure over and over
The need for a solid start for Rangers was obvious.
Light Blues received the first two goals in seven of its last 10 games – six in nine under Ferguson, which was installed as a boss by the end of the season when Philippe Clement started in February in February
After a great opening for a few minutes, the athletics bent.
Yilmaz, playing the right wing, had to block a shot of a close range from the saints midfielder in the eighth minute before the guardian of Liam Kelly saved Williams with another holy firing, this time by Tavernier.
The injured Yilmaz then had to replace the midfielder Connor Barron and Ferguson, Tavernier headed for his wings, and the Jefte moved to the back of three with Mohamed Diomande on the left wing.
It was all about the defense for Rangers and sometimes desperately desperate, and Balogun was booked by Judge Irfan Pelljto for an offense at the striker Maroan Sannadi, an official earlier neglect of Gersa Cyriel Desser’s claim when Yeray Alvarez withdrew in his rumor.
In the 36th minute athletic striker Alex Berenguer approached the shot from 20 meters from 20 meters before Williams missed the guard from eight meters after cutting down Sannadi.
The uscanket then knocked the shot high through the bar, and only Kelly won, and the Govanna side escaped again – just because of Souttar to confess the punishment for the challenge of Sannadi, and the saint sent to Kelly in the wrong way.
Centre-Back Clinton Nsiala replaced Ianis Hagi, and Jefte returned back to the left wing with Diomande, which returned to the middle of the field, and in a few seconds of re-launch, Balogun lowered to the Rangers box after clashes their heads with Souttar and had to be replaced by Strker Hamza Igamane.
Visitors went to the back of four, adding a sense of disorder.
However, after 58 minutes, Rskin hit a place with about eight meters while the home defense was broken and the game stretched.
The tension increased as the second half continued the delicious Ibrox wings chip, Vaclav Cerny almost found Dessere in the back position, while at the other end of Berenguer’s shot was rejected by the corner that defended the determination.
However, a few moments later Williams entered behind the Tavernier and led the call of the cross with Oscar de Marcos High past Kelly to send Rangers from the competition.
