Barry Ferguson praised the Rangers players to show the character that was interrogated this season after they skipped Vinbpsus after the European League struggle.

Rangers suffered from a fourth consecutive defeat in Abrox, but he established a quarter-final against Bilbao Sports after Jack Putland saved a penalty in a 3-2 victory.

Each 90-minute targets from Sebastian Szemanski have eliminated Rangers’ first 3-1 after Ferguson’s men have missed opportunities to draw outside the Turkish side.

There were approximately errors on both sides before and during the extra time and Rangers kept their fire in the shooting.

“I actually thought we played well. The two goals that we could have done better but the only thing I should say, and it was settled against the players, they showed a personality,” said Ferguson.

“It is easy to feel sorry for yourself, but they continue. It is clear that you are in the position of punishment and you thought we were treated very well.

“The main goal was to make sure that I got this club in the past eight and this is something we have done.

“Don’t underestimate what happened there. We reached a big team. After last Thursday, we knew that this was in no way a deal.

“I visited all the games this season and this was something when I was watching Rangers, okay when he went ahead, but when something contradicts, they went to their peel a little.

Mourinho criticizes “Strange” decisions

Jose Mourinho, director of Fenerbahce Hotel, claimed that it is strange that his team did not give at least one penalty.

Visitors complained when Talisca was reserved for diving after it seemed that he was arrested by JEFTE on the edge of the box and Mourinho was booked after strong calls for a mistake in the box against Nico Raskin.

Then he appealed to the visitors a mistake against James Tafirinier, but the captain got the ball with a sliding treatment.

Mourinho said: “We played a great match. Only one team played, only one team scored, only one team worth recording more, only one team worth winning,” Mourinho said.

Jose Mourinho, director of the Fenerbahce Hotel, reflects the first division round in the European League from 16 defeat to Rangers after losing the Turkish giants on the weighting, as Mourinho stated that the best team lost.

“Only one team had three penalties that if you did not get three, you will get two. If you do not get two, you will get one. If you do not get one out of three, everything is strange.

“But it is also strange to the way we got out of the Champions League with a VAR Penalty in the 120th minute.”

Mourinho continued to refer to a previous controversy, as he raised the defeat of his team in the European League for the year 2023 by Seville, after which he received a four -games UEFA ban because of his criticism of English referee Anthony Taylor.

Mourinho said: “The only thing that is still in my mind is whether all that happened to my team this season is in Europe, if it has a relationship with the final of Budapest,” Mourinho said.

“I want to think that it has nothing to do with it, it is bad luck, and it has nothing to do with that. I want to think this way.”
