Enjoying all the good luck that is typical of their exploits in UEFA’s secondary competition, Barry Ferguson’s side squeezed through into the quarter-finals of the Europa League last night.
Some woeful penalties from Fenerbahce saw the Turks lose out after an evening of baffling decisions from the young Norwegian referee denied Jose Maurinho’s side victory over 90 minutes.
After 10.30 last night Ferguson was celebrating after looking almost tearful during the match as the loyal bears watched their side lose over 90 minutes for the fourth consecutive match.
Queens Park set that ball rolling in the Scottish Cup, St Mirren saw off Phil Clement before Motherwell brought the Barry bounce to an end. Last night’s result makes the goal difference over the last four matches at Fortress Ibrox 1-7, a painful scoreline for Rangers fans of a certain vintage.
First time in the histories of Rangerses that a side playing out of Ibrox has lost four straight games at Ibrox.

Athletic Bilbao are the opposition in the last eight with the Basque club enjoying long running ties with Celtic, hosting this year’s final at their atmospheric Estadio San Mames.
In the Round of 16 Athletic lost 2-1 away to Roma then turned the match around with a 3-1 win at home yesterday.
John Souttar and Mohamed Diomande will miss the first leg at Ibrox through suspension, Diomande has been booked five times in 11 European appearances this season, domestically, he has been booked six times in 33 appearances.

A wee message to you Sevco lurkers…If ye canny be good…be lucky…again !!
Doggy, Day, Every Has, His. They won’t feel as comfortable at Paradise though. Even with their 5% Allocation! (Is it index – linked to inflation?)
Pumped again at their Den! They’d have taken with penalties any time. All the BBC ex- Tax Dodgers thought Fenerbache were going to be awarded a penalty, but the Ref did not concur!
They’re through but they won’t even get the £450K for a win!
Their wheel-shedding wagon rolls on for another day!
They were dead on their feet last night totally f**ked and drained, that was the best thing that could have happened last night,extra time and penalties.
Losing 4 home games on the trot, that’s P45 material.
Surely we can run riot with these James Hunts come Sunday.
McMoist is now talking even more shite than he did previously over the years,the guy sounds like mad alkie when he talking,it’s as if he is slabbering every word that comes out his mouth.
I’m convinced he is sitting there doing that commentary with kerryoot at his side, then when you his wee ALKIE coupon you know he has turned into a BOOZE JOCKEY.
The witch doctor will have them drugged up for Parkhead on Sunday for sure…
Just like he did for The Scottish Cup Semi Final In 2022 –
How the f**k they were fitter that day in extra time defies f**in logic !
They got skelped last night and played off the park but squeezed by on a penalty shootout,lol one if their blogs has put it out there that they are cert for win against us on Sunday,oh dear.
It’s the hope that kills them.
That’s their last 4 home games in which they have been hammered and played off the park ! Ferguson must be relieved that Sunday’s game is not at Ibroxland ? By the way …do you think wee Frankie Dettori got advice from the Baz about declaring his bankruptcy ? Nobody better to dish out that sort of information , than the current theRangers temporary coach …
