FC BarcelonaRangers fans share same Barcelona sigh of relief as Europa League draw is revisited after El Clasico thumpingSome fancied taking on the Camp Nou giants but after taking apart Real Madrid 4-0 most were glad to have given Barca a wide berth. And that left some Rangers supporters thankful they avoided Barcelona, who were paired with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League and will play the winners of West Ham vs Lyon if they get through that. Some were bullish about the prospect of facing them in Spain with one replying to an ecstatic Barca fan: "Better enjoy it now because when Rangers play Barca in the Europa League Final they'll be getting this done to them." Some are dreaming of taking them on in the Seville final, with Braga the Gers' opposition and RB Leipzig or Atalanta lying in wait after that.

Following Lionel Messi's departure to PSG they struggled but now under the management of club legend Xavi Hernandez, and with the assistance of some astute signings such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, they have turned into a different beast.

Dundee 1, Rangers 2. - Away8 - Home1 - Away8 - Home1 Rangers captain James Tavernier on Sky Sports: "I thought we showed great character. Everything we had done on the training pitch was taken out there and that's really important to me. Anything more would have drained their momentum. As for the champions, this was not a good performance. Second half, we created more and sometimes you have to be a little bit lucky.

After going behind, Rangers came out for the second 45 looking to get themselves in front for the first time in the game and took control of the early stages; Westrup, Vance and Ness all having chances to make it 2-1. With the SWPL moving to join the SPFL next season and coming under the same umbrella as the mens’ sides for the first time, going into the new set-up as the champions would be the perfect way to kick off a new era. Rangers tried to get an early advantage and take control of proceedings, Ness and Grant both having efforts at goal but it was the visitors who took the lead just after the half-hour mark.

TESS MIDDAG shared her delight at netting the winning goal this afternoon as Rangers defeated Spartans 2-1 in Park's Motor Group SWPL 1.

She continued: “The timing of the equaliser was very important because that gave us a boost for the second-half. “It was a cross from the right-side, Kayla [McCoy] went up for a header and it just ended up right in front of my feet. We are very happy but relieved as well because it was difficult for us to get that winning goal.

But, for now, Rangers have a job on their hands simply in trying to keep all their plates spinning and the more they turn on one another the more difficult that task is likely to become. A noisy, militant section of the Rangers support is now in full scale revolt and they seemed not to care yesterday that their actions - which caused a series of delays - might distract their own players and do terminal damage to their chances of hanging onto Celtic’s coattails. Should they manage what is supposed to be impossible and actually get their hands on European silver, then a conversation will have to be had about exactly where such an achievement might rank when compared to the greatest triumphs in the history of the Scottish game. It really is an astonishing contradiction but it should not muddy the waters when it comes to acknowledging the scale of what Rangers achieved in the Serbian capital on Thursday when they made it into the last eight of UEFA’s second biggest tournament. But, credit where it is due, at least Van Bronckhorst and his men recognised the urgency of the situation and managed to do something meaningful about fixing it because some of them may have felt as if their work was done for the week in Belgrade on Thursday night when they made it into the quarter finals of the Europa League. What was supposed to be a formality - as well as a celebration of 150 years and a nod to the club’s founding fathers - turned into a day of self destruction in Dundee as, off the pitch, fans railed angrily against the Gallant Profiteers inside their own boardroom and, on it, Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s players completely forgot how to function amid an avalanche of loo rolls and tennis balls.

Three times the Rangers fans halted play with a protest. With toilet paper, tennis balls and in voice they made their feelings crystal clear.

James Tavernier was also crucial as he shook off a first-half penalty miss to help drive his side forward looking for the goals that would turn the game on its head. He was one of a number of players that stepped up in a much improved second-half performance that saw Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men slowly turn the screw on their opponents. A fourth stop when the sprinkler system went on only furthered the sense of farce that was beginning to build around the game.

RANGERS fans forced their match with Dundee to be halted after lobbing tennis balls and toilet roll onto the Dens Park surface.

“Participation in this event over eight days will benefit the club to the same level as an entire season in the SPFL.” “To put some context around this we have spoken before on the broadcast and media values in Scotland and the club’s view on that has been well documented. Bisgrove said: “To be frank it’s a sizeable benefit to the club from a commercial perspective to the extent that we have never had an offer of this level for two friendly games, for an international tournament.

"When we talk about wanting to maximise the commercial potential of this football club we felt this is an opportunity to really help us achieve that ambition."

Jordan McGhee was penalised for pulling Alfredo Morelos' shirt in the first half at Dens Park.

"He's not attempting to play the ball. "He's deemed it a foul and there is a pull there." "That's just by the rulebook, that's not anything else.

It’s scandalous to think with such negativity that one or more of these teams may be rewarded with a place in Europe.” Ryan Porteous was back in the bad books for HIbs after being sent off in the 3-1 defeat at Aberdeen. George Fairgrieve emailed: “Hearts’ central defenders Craig Halkett and John Souttar score goals while Hibs central defenders collect red cards. Rangers FCAllan McGregor loses it with Rangers protesters as he brands them 'f****** a********' after THIRD stoppageThe keeper was less than impressed as toilet roll and tennis balls filled the pitch during the start of the second half. Maybe if their focus when in the opposition box was getting the ball in net and not looking for a penalty they wouldn't be behind Celtic.” Giorgos Giakoumakis helped himself to a hat-trick as Celtic made it 31 domestic games unbeaten with a 4-0 thumping of Ross County. And David Bryce, Troon, said: “It is looking likely that Gioukoumakis will be the man to take us to the title. Ryan Porteous has become a liability who can’t be trusted, punt him now.” And Rab Hunter, Dumfries, added: “Any truth in the rumour that Hearts are going to appeal the Ryan Porteous red card as they want him available for both of the upcoming derbies for which he will now surely be banned having been sent off yet again?” Motherwell’s last gasp defeat at St Johnstone made it 11 league games without a victory for Graham Alexander’s struggling Steelmen. And Robert Howson, Larkhall , has had enough. His signing for a low fee may prove to be a masterstroke come the end of May.” Celtic were already 3-0 up against County when Kayne Ramsay was red carded for a crunching tackle on Tom Rogic. But ref Don Robertson’s decision still sparked a debate with one caller claiming it was no worse than Reo Hatate’s against Dundee United John Wilson, Glasgow, said: “If Rogic didn't bottle out of the tackle with Ramsay then it would simply be two guys contesting a 50-50 ball. If Ramsay's tackle was a red then John Beaton clearly bottled it last week with Reo Hatate’s tackle at Dundee United.” But William Hutchison, Aberdeen, argued: “Before anyone gets on their high horse about the Ross County red card, Ramsay should have been booked for a challenge on Daizen Maeda earlier. This may seem like a good and competitive league until you realise none of the bottom nine have won even a third of their games and all of them have lost more games then they have won and all with a negative goal difference. I’ve watched Hibs for 30 years and we’ve never been awarded a penalty like the ones Rangers have been given against Dundee and Aberdeen. It’s an utter farce.” John Caw emailed: “I tuned in to see what Rangers' penalty was for. What appeared impossible may be realistic thanks to the scoring exploits of a man who started slowly but is now showing why he was the top scorer in the Netherlands last season. Is Ramsay just supposed to put in a wee limp leg tackle to win the ball? If they want Rangers to be champions again why not just give them it?” Stephen Cameron called from Cyprus to say: “The reason that Rangers get more penalties than anyone else is not down to referees - it's an active part of their game plan.

James Tavernier also missed a penalty in a game halted several times by Gers’ fans protests over the Sydney Super Cup. But it was ref Bobby Madden who Hotline callers reckons should be put on the spot for the first half call.

The champions travelled to Tayside for the second successive weekend, this time on league business as they look to keep up with leaders Celtic.

They were made to wait though and that was partly down to the numerous stoppages from the stands as the visiting support once again made their feelings on the proposed friendly against Celtic perfectly clear by throwing objects onto the field of play. Dundee made the dream start after Christie Elliott notched home an opener after six minutes which had Mark McGhee's side ahead at the break. The heat was turned up on Dundee and Rangers ahead of the meeting between the two sides at Dens Park.

James Tavernier sent the spot kick f the bar after Bobby Madden had pointed to the spot at Dens Park.

You can enter once each week to be in with a chance of winning. They’re both at it, it’s just a 50-50 and it should be no penalty for me.” McPake couldn’t see a foul by McGhee either, adding: “I’m in complete agreement. “If you can call it a challenge,” said Foster of McGhee’s apparent foul.

The spot kick looked soft with James Tavernier blazing over from 12 yards but McGhee said it was the right call.

“And as soon as he tugs him the referee will give a penalty.

Referees are going to give a penalty. Referee Bobby Madden handed the Light Blues a soft spot-kick when he penalised Jordan McGhee for a slight tug on Alfredo Morelos. The Dark Blues players protested furiously but McGhee surprisingly had no complaints and said after the bottom side’s 2-1 loss: “Ach, I thought it was a penalty.

RANGERS shouldn't have had a penalty against Dundee reckon Sportscene pundits Richard Foster and James McPake.The Light Blues were awarded the spot.

KRIS BOYD has urged Rangers fans to avoid protests that halt games in future, after today's match against Dundee was stopped on three occasions.

"Listen, if that's the way they want to voice their opinions. There's a way to do it. "You want to get on with it so from a players point of view, on the pitch it needs to stop.
