A Spanish Rangers fan has told of his undying love for the club after experiencing a historic night in the Europa League as his first match.

Philippe Clement's side secured their spot in the last 16 of the competition last night after defeating Real Betis in Seville in a 3-2 thriller.

Kemar Roofe grabbed the winner in the contest after Abdallah Sima and Cyriel Dessers had netted in the first period.

The winning goal sparked wild scenes in the stands and Scottish football YouTuber Sam North captured the scenes inside the stadium on his channel Footy Adventures.

Sam also managed to catch up with Spanish Rangers fan Antonio, who was experiencing his first-ever match, and he was clearly a lucky charm.

He said: "I am from 200km away from here but I am a Rangers supporter.

"I am a Rangers fan because five years ago I was in Scotland to visit Glasgow and when I arrived I fell in love with Rangers' history, the team and the stadium.

"I have no words right now! It is a great surprise for me. This is my first Rangers match, my first Rangers match! I am so happy."

Rangers manager Philippe Clement backed his side to have an “amazing season” if they show the same togetherness that helped them to a 3-2 win over Real Betis in Seville.

Clement told Rangers TV: “It’s an amazing evening. I am really proud of the boys, they way they stuck together, the way they were brave. The things I asked – to be brave, to go with our football, create chances, score good goals, and a real top team mentality.

“That’s what we need to build on over the next couple of months. If they stick together like this every three days, you always have an amazing season.”

It was Rangers’ first away victory against Spanish opposition.

Clement said: “This is a big reference and statement also, for them and the outside, that if everyone is into the story and working hard, we are a really hard team to beat, even for top-class teams like Betis, who are in really good form and played a really good game against Real Madrid last week and could have won.

“It was the first loss in their home stadium this season. And it was also a game we had to win, a lot of pressure and the players dealt really well with it.”
