RANGERS 1 BRAGA 1 – PLAYER RATINGS: Who impressed in attack and who made a shocking mistake to gift the visitors a point at Ibrox?
RANGERS were pegged back by Braga and were forced to settle for a draw but it was a result that saw Danny Rohl’s men pick up their first point in the Europa League.
Here’s how they rated at Ibrox…
RANGERS (4-2-3-1)
JACK BUTLAND 7.5 – Sharp save to deny Horta early on and out like a flash to thwart him again. Those two stops at 0-0 were very important.
JAMES TAVERNIER 6.5 – Rangers skipper buried the penalty to break the deadlock in style. Caught out on the odd occasion defensively.
EMMANUEL FERNANDEZ 5 – Much-maligned £3m man hasn’t had many chances to impress. Lax in his positioning and lost confidence after the goal.
Chermiti struggled to make a positive impact in the game against Braga
Raskin sees his headed attempt blocked by the Braga backline
Butland made a big save early on from Horta
NASSER DJIGA 3.5 – Guilty of losing concentration at times and the Wolves loanee made a hash of a header in the box that gifted Braga a leveller.
MAX AARONS 4.5 – Allowed Horta to race clear on goal. Looked a little uncertain in a positional sense and not a natural left-back.
NICOLAS RASKIN 7 – As industrious as ever in the Rangers midfield. Drew a daft red card from Salazar and broke up play very well.
CONNOR BARRON 6.5 – Put in a couple of very good balls into the box. Linked up well with Gassama and showed plenty of dig off the ball. Booked.
DJEIDI GASSAMA 8 – Rangers’ biggest attacking threat by a distance. Caused all sorts of problems down the left flank of Braga.
MOHAMED DIOMANDE 5 – Played in the advanced role and sparked into life after the half-hour mark. Very harsh second yellow in stoppage-time. Sent off.
DANILO 5 – Passed up a big first-half chance with a weak effort. Had a few decent moments but end product was generally poor.
YOUSSEF CHERMITI 4 – The £8m striker is struggling for confidence and failed to have much of an impact. Serious improvement is required.
Butland denies Gomez late in the second half
Rangers boss Danny Rohl will be frustrated that his side failed to pick up a victory
SUBS: Aasgaard (Danilo 72), Miovski (Barron 77), Meghoma (Aarons 89), Antman (Chermiti 89).
MANAGER: DANNY ROHL 6 – Has steadied the ship but will be frustrated his side squandered the lead against ten men.
BRAGA (4-3-3): Hornicek; Gomez , Lagerbielke, Niakate, Arrey-Mbi; Zalazar, Moutinho (Grillitsch 66), Gorby (Moscardo 90); Martinez (Carvalho 82), Navarro (El Ouazzani 46), Horta. Booked: Navarro, Horta, Martinez, Gomez. Sent off: Zalazar.
REFEREE: ALLARD LINDHOUT (Ned) 4.
