Eventually Steven Gerrard’s team triumphed 4-3 in the first leg of the last 32 Europa League match and fans expressed their delight - and relief – on social media after full-time.

@SimonOHara92: “What do you even say about that?! That's taken 20 years off me.

Alexander Moffat: “I'm lost for words, seven goals, still undefeated this season, can't wait until next Thursday.”

@MDangerbouse55: “Shattered watching that.”

Graeme Cowe: “Outrageous match. On top for the vast majority of the game. Shocking referee who looked like he was trying to lose us the game. Need to be sharper at the back moving forward. Unsung hero - Alfredo, superb link up play for us today.”

@CF3Loyal: “What an utterly bizarre game of football. Delighted to be heading back to Glasgow with the away win. Over to us to see this tie out now. Hopefully the injuries to Tavernier and Roofe are not serious. Jack and Kent so important to us. We need all our players up to speed, quickly."

Max Tødd: “Cracking game! We really deserved that. Kent made a real difference tonight.”

@GNorthcott83: “Good grief, well done Rangers but my word… I need a lie down after that. That game had everything.”

@GzaRobertson: “Felt like rippin’ ma shirt aff like Hulk Hogan when that fourth went in.”

Ben Thompson: “Reminds me of the night we beat Braga at ibrox, not the best performance but never stopped and found a way to win, the way we have done all season. Now need to keep pushing and get this league wrapped up and hope for another famous run in Europe.”

Dessie Pops Rea: “Referee was very poor had to work hard but dug in deep and got the win good to get four away goals but letting in three is not good enough but it was just one of them one-off games. Just glad to take a win back to Ibrox to finish them off.”

@CameronnTaylorr: “Awful pitch. Horrendous ref... but job done! We’ll batter them at the mighty Ibrox! Safe travels home boys.”
