Danny Röhl’s side produced a disciplined and determined performance in Portugal, showing resilience and improved structure after recent criticism surrounding their European form. While the Gers were unable to find a winner, the point keeps their hopes of progressing from the group stage alive — and adds a financial boost to the club’s continental campaign.
Under UEFA’s Europa League prize structure, clubs receive significant payments for every result in the group phase, with draws worth €150,000. That figure now goes into the Ibrox side’s European revenue pot, which continues to grow with each positive result.
Rangers will now turn their attention to the remaining fixtures, knowing that every point and every Euro earned could prove crucial both on and off the pitch. Röhl, who has been under pressure to turn around the club’s fortunes in Europe, will take encouragement from the improved display and the fighting spirit shown against a strong Braga side.
Qualification remains in their own hands — and tonight’s draw may ultimately prove a pivotal moment in their group-stage journey.
