UEL: Rangers 2 - 0 Brondby

Leon Balogun's header and a Kemar Roofe tap-in - gave Rangers their first Europa League points at the third attempt to lift them off the bottom of their group.

You can watch the highlights in the video below.

Lyon's comeback win at Sparta Prague means Rangers sit a point behind Sparta and six adrift of the French at this halfway stage.

A trip to Denmark next will hold no fears for the Scottish champions after Brondby offered very little opposition at Ibrox.

Gerrard told the media after the match: "We deserved the victory, we played with a lot of control and style, we could have maybe got another couple of goals.

"We have played really well for 45 minutes or 60 minutes but for some reason consistently we haven't found that level where we are churning out 90 after 90 minutes so that is the most pleasing thing for me tonight."

This is how the group stands after three matches.

Brondby are now the only side without a goal in this season's Europa League campaign. This is despite registering them 16 attempts.
