Rangers, under the tutelage of Giovanni van Bronckhorst, moved one step closer to the UEFA Champions League group stage on Tuesday night, as they managed to overturn a two-goal deficit with a remarkable 3-0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise.
Rangers left themselves with a mountain to climb in this tie as they suffered a defeat to the Belgians in the first leg last week, with van Bronkhorst admitting that his side were fortunate to keep the scoreline to just two goals, as Union Saint-Gilloise dominated for long spells.
Before the game, given that the club had gone out at the same point last season, pressure was building on the former Feyenoord boss van Bronkhorst.
However, once again, the team rose to the challenge for a European tie at Ibrox, securing their place in the next round.
This article features the tactical analysis of the match and explains the key tactics behind Ranger’s dominant display and why it proved too much for Union Saint-Gilloise to stop, as the Gers were relentless in the pursuit of goals.
