Philippe Clement 'gutted' after Rangers' late loss at Old Trafford

Philippe Clement is gutted after Rangers lost 2-1 at Old Trafford this evening.

Jack Butland's own goal opened the scoring early in the second half. Cyriel Dessers thought he salvaged a late point for his side with a fine finish, but Bruno Fernandes stepped up to win the game for Manchester United in stoppage time.

Clement's men gave their all and, despite a late equaliser, came away empty-handed.

The Rangers manager was bitterly disappointed post-match: "I'm gutted that we lost," he said live on TNT Sports.

"The team wanted to do something special.

"But I'm also very proud of how the team performed today.

"There are a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of positives."

After tonight's loss, Rangers now sit 13th in the Europa League table, three points outside the top eight with a game to go.

They welcome Belgian outfit Union St. Gilloise to Ibrox next Thursday in a crucial matchday eight showdown.

Before that, though, attention turns to Sunday's trip to face Dundee United at Tannadice in the Scottish Premiership.

The Ibrox side will be looking to make it three league victories in a row and bounce back from this evening's bitter loss.
