Rangers kicked off their Europa League campaign in winning fashion with a 2-0 triumph over Malmo.
Nedim Bajrami and Ross McCausland were on target for Philippe Clement's side in Sweden in the first matchday of the revamped league phase format.
And Rangers' impressive win on the road - their first victory over a Swedish club ever - has made a dent with bookmakers with odds slashed on Rangers progressing or even winning the Europa League.
Ahead of the match against Malmo, Rangers had been priced at 100/1 to emerge victorious in the 2024/25 iteration of the Europa League - just a couple of years after ending as runners-up.
However, the odds on Rangers lifting the trophy have now been as much as halved to 50/1 after picking up three points in Sweden.

Elsewhere, the odds have also been cut on Rangers finishing in the top eight of the league phase - which would guarantee a spot in the last 16 stage.
With William Hill, Rangers are 13/2 to make the top eight and avoid having to play a knockout phase play-off. William Hill price Rangers at 50/1 to win the league phase.
But BetVitcor make it shorter odds for Rangers to reach the final of the competition with a 25/1 odds price. BoyleSports have Rangers as 50/1 to win the Europa League - way down from the 100/1 odds before the competition kicked off.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
