Rangers v Bursaspor 1-0 Highlights




Rangers at home beat Turkey's Bursaspor. with Steven Naismith's lone goal, 1-0 .

This was their first Champions League success in three long years.

On th other hand Bursaspor still looking for their first point and goal in the Champions League.

Bursaspor in their first Champions League campaign, are already cast in the role of whipping boys and Naismith's 18th minute strike looks to have largely confirmed the group as a three-horse race for qualification.


Bursapor rarely threatened, with their final glimmer of hope being a dangerously-positioned free kick in the last seconds that was easily cleared by the staunch Rangers defense.


Sercan Yildirim was the closest to finding an equaliser with a volley that flew just wide of Allan McGregor's goal.


Bursaspor suffered a 4-0 defeat at home to Valencia in their first ever Champions League match and with no points from their opening two games, their hopes of progression are undeniably bleak already.

Coach Ertugrul Saglam,feels his side are showing signs that they can be quick learners at this level.

"Our second-half performance is an indication of how we're able to perform in this competition.

"We're a very inexperienced team and it's our first time in Europe for about 30 years but we are starting to find the rhythm of the Champions League."
