Rangers have made significant progress in their quest to advance to the Europa League knockout stages.
Tonight, Philippe Clement’s team was in paradise in the south of France as they defeated the Scottish Premiership team 4-1.
On a spectacular night for the Ibrox club, Hamza Igamane, Mohamed Diomande, and Vaclav Cerny scored the goals.
Before facing Nice of Ligue 1, Rangers had seven points at the beginning of the evening.
The Light Blues now have 10 points in the league phase after the victory. On the table, they are ranked eighth.
This should be sufficient to guarantee Rangers an unseeded berth in the playoffs, according to Scotland’s Coefficient.
However, Rangers still have three league phase games left in the 2024–25 competition, therefore a last-16 berth is still possible.
Next time out, they’ll host Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs at Ibrox. In January, they’ll travel south to play Manchester United, and that same month, they’ll play Union Saint-Gilloise.
Rangers will be seeded for the play-offs with 11 to 12 points, while 14 to 15 points are reportedly required to guarantee a top-eight finish in the league phase.
Rangers are currently only a few points away from being in a strong position to advance past the league phase of the tournament.
