​Gerrard's Rangers secure important away win over Osijek

Steven Gerrard will be happy with his team's performance away to Osijek in the Europa League.

The Scottish giants faced the Croatian outfit in a UEFA Europa League second qualifying round game.

Rangers still have some way to go before securing a berth in the competition proper. But Gerrard will be pleased with the 1-0 away win.

It marked the first European away win for Rangers in TEN years.

Alfredo Morelos got the only goal of the game, which will do his confidence the world of good.

Morelos was criticised for his form in the first qualifying round against Shkupi. But he took his chance today to give Rangers a valuable lead to take to Ibrox.

The Scottish side rode their luck towards the end, but defended well enough to secure the clean sheet and win.
