Champions League nights are back for Rangers as Philippe Clement’s side secured a place in the play-off round despite a 2–1 defeat to Viktoria Plzen in the Czech Republic. The result, combined with the 3–0 first-leg victory at Ibrox, gave the Scottish giants a 4–2 aggregate win and keeps their dream of reaching the Champions League group stage alive.
Lyall Cameron’s Breakthrough Goal
One of the biggest talking points from tonight’s Champions League clash was Lyall Cameron’s first goal for Rangers. The young midfielder struck early in the second half, finishing coolly after a quick passing move, and effectively ended Plzen’s hopes of overturning the tie. It was a special moment for Cameron, who has been tipped for a big future at Ibrox.
Match Timeline
First Half:
Viktoria Plzen started brightly in front of their home fans, creating early chances and forcing Jack Butland into a sharp save within the first 10 minutes. The hosts were aggressive in their press, but Rangers kept their defensive shape and slowed the tempo when possible. The first 45 minutes ended goalless, with Rangers still holding their three-goal cushion from the first leg.
Second Half:
Just minutes after the restart, Cameron’s goal put the Gers 4–0 up on aggregate, all but sealing their Champions League progress. Plzen responded with two goals in the final 20 minutes — one from a set piece and another from open play — to win the match 2–1 on the night. However, the damage had already been done in Glasgow a week earlier.
Champions League Progress & What’s Next
With the tie over two legs ending Viktoria Plzen 2–1 Rangers (agg 2–4), the Scottish Premiership side advances to the Champions League play-offs, the final step before the lucrative group stage. The draw for the play-off round will take place later this week, and Rangers fans will be watching closely to see who they face.
If they succeed in the play-offs, Rangers will join Europe’s elite clubs in the group stage, a feat that brings both prestige and a significant financial boost.

Champions League Play-Off Stakes
The Champions League play-off round is a high-pressure environment where one mistake can end months of preparation. For Rangers, success would mean back-to-back appearances in the group stage and another chance to face some of Europe’s top sides. Failure would drop them into the UEFA Europa League, which remains a valuable competition but not the ultimate target for a club of their ambitions.
