The Scottish Premiership side saw off Malmo to kickstart the league phase of the competition
The Scottish Premiership side had never defeated the Swedes amid a series of notable European flops - but goals from Nedim Bajrami and sub Ross McCausland shook off the hoodoo. The only disappointment on the night was the they didn't rack up more goals as they secured their first three points of the revamped Europa League format.
Ally McCoist “It’s a wonderful performance and a wonderful result - but in isolation that’s all it is. You have to build on it. You have to take something from it. It has been a bizarre time behind the scenes at Rangers and it has created a lot of uncertainty. The lads on the pitch have to attempt to put that behind them and look at that result, look at that performance and say that is what we are capable of - because that is they best I have seen them.
Neil McCann "I thought as a whole the defended well. They held their line well. They were strong in terms of their organisation and leadership. Although Malmo didn’t test them defensively and were pretty basic, it was pleasingly surprising. They are in a position if they can go now and beat Lyon - wow, that would give a shot win the arm to them."
