Rangers vs Royale Union Saint-Gilloise: What happened to the Gers team that beat the Belgian outfit 3-0 at Ibrox in 2022?

Rangers took a big step towards UEFA Champions League qualification with a memorable 3-0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise at Ibrox two years ago this week at Ibrox.

It was one of many memorable European nights at Ibrox in late 2022, but as those in attendance at Rangers’ dramatic 3-0 second leg win over Union Saint-Gilloise will attest - it was one of the best.

Facing an uphill battle after losing 2-0 in the first leg in Belgium, Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side had to invoke the spirit of their unforgettable Europa League run from the previous campaign if they were to progress to the next stage of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.

And it was a task both players and fans alike responded to, blowing away the Belgian Pro League outfit on a raucous night in Govan.

It took until the stroke of half-time to break the deadline, but James Tavernier had Ibrox rocking when he reduced the deficit with a well-taken penalty before new signings Antonio Colak and Malik Tillman introduced themselves to Ibrox to send the Gers through the final qualifying stage of the UEFA Champions League against PSV Eindhoven.

But where are the players from that famous night at Ibrox now? Only two remain from the starting XI, while the other nine have left for pastures new.
