Mark Warburton gives Rangers 'few million reasons' to grab Champions League group stage spot and cut Celtic gap

dailyrecord.co.uk

Mark Warburton insists the financial warchest the Champions League unlocks is too good for Rangers to pass up if they want to cut the gap on Celtic after watching his former side make their way past Servette in qualification.

Dereck Kutesa's firts half strike levelled the third round qualifier at 2-2 over the two legs and Jack Butland was called into action to ensure aggregate parity was maintained.

But the Light Blues came out swinging in the second half and one of Warburton's Ibrox recruits, James Tavernier, popped up with a leveller in Geneva to ensure progression to the play-off round against PSV next week.

The former boss knows how important progression is for Rangers due to the financial boost it comes with, and believes they rallied well from a worrying position.
