Rangers' Heroic Defense Against Athletic Bilbao
Rangers overcame odds with a masterclass in defense against Athletic Bilbao.



Rangers were in a tough spot before the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Athletic Bilbao. They had suffered multiple home defeats and faced a strong opponent. But despite a red card early on and missing key players, they managed to keep a clean sheet thanks to a brilliant defensive display and the heroics of keeper Liam Kelly. The team showed a 'siege mentality', with everyone buying in. Players like James Tavernier were outstanding in defense. The midfield and forwards also contributed to the team effort. Rangers now have a chance to progress in the next leg, but they must dig deep again.
