Rangers boss Gerrard should get Braga bragging rights

Ianis Hagi paid tribute to his manager’s tactics after the Light Blues stunned the high-flying Portuguese side home and away.

Rangers won 1-0 at the Estadio Municipal with Ryan Kent’s winner coming off the back of a Hagi ball over the top. Hagi was Rangers’ hero at Ibrox last week, as well, as he dragged the Glasgow outfit back from the dead with a daring double as Gers came from two down to win the first leg 3-2.

However, Hagi did miss from the spot when he saw a penalty brilliantly clawed away by Braga keeper Matheus just before half-time.

“It was a tough away game but tactics-wise I think we played really well,” said on-loan Genk star Hagi.

“Everything we worked on in the two days leading up to the game I think we pretty much did everything.

“I can’t say Braga had a clear chance, just one with a header but that was from a corner.
