Rangers FC have achieved other impossible by reaching the Europa League final by knocking out RB Leipzig and this massive achievement has brought praise from Ange Postecoglou himself.
Accolades have been pouring in from all corners but amidst all the praise, the appreciation from their fiercest rivals is surely shining the brightest.
He said, as quoted by STV News: “They have done awfully well, they deserved to go through last night, over the two games they were the better team and they have been really strong in Europe all season.
“It has been a hard week for them, with the passing of Jimmy Bell and obviously whenever you work inside a football club and you lose somebody who has been such an essential part of the club, it must have been a tough week for the players and the staff who have worked with him.

“I think they deserved to get through to the final, and I think that tells you they are a very good football team, which I think they proved last season by going unbeaten in the league and again this year with their performances across all competitions.”
Rangers FC have slain some big European clubs en route to the final and if they can manage to win it then Scottish football will come at the forefront of European football for at least the next few seasons.
The Celtic manager has shown class by praising their Glasgow rivals but a large contingent of the Bhoys fans will unfortunately not share the same feeling. The Gers winning the Europa League will be great for Scottish football but if they do achieve this feat then Celtic will have to live under their shadows for the whole of next season.
Celtic should be able to clinch yet another SPFL title in the coming weeks but if their Glasgow rivals lift the Europa League trophy then the Postecoglou and his team’s success will mean very little.
