RYAN KENT never doubted that Rangers would rise to the occasion in the Europa League and see off Braga.
The winger netted the only goal of the game in Portugal as Steven Gerrard's side clinched a last 16 berth.
Rangers will discover their opponents when the draw is made on Friday and Kent savoured a memorable night for the Light Blues.
Kent said: “The boys know recent form hasn’t been good enough and we expect better and demand more of ourselves. Pressure aside from the league, we’ve been doing really well in Europe so went out and showed everyone what we’re capable of doing.
“I missed an easier opportunity in the first half but the goal is just a bonus. The fact we’ve gone through is special for the football club, fans and ourselves and we’ve got something to fight for.
“The fact we’re the underdogs in this competition there’s less expectation and tension in our play. We go out there and play with more freedom and we got what we deserved."
