Ryan Jack makes Rangers mixed emotions admission after defeat to RB Leipzig

Ryan Jack of Rangers applauds the fans after their sides defeat during the UEFA Europa League Semi Final Leg One match between RB Leipzig and Rangers

RYAN JACK insists Rangers have it all to play for at Ibrox as they set their sights on the Europa League final.

The champions will have to overturn a first leg deficit after a narrow defeat to RB Leipzig on Thursday night.

Boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst issued an Ibrox rallying call as he backed the home crowd to inspire his side to a spot in Seville.

And Jack knows Rangers can take to the field with confidence second time around after a late Angelino effort proved to be the difference in Germany.

Jack said: “There are mixed emotions after that. We gave ourselves every chance by going into the second-half with score 0-0 then we got undone by a set-play which is disappointing.

"But it’s still all to play for as far as we’re concerned and that’s the mentality we’ll take into next week, going into the game at Ibrox with our fans behind us.

"We’ve done it before and we’re excited to try and do it again.

“I wouldn’t say we’d have taken 1-0 before the game. When we go into games we always expect to compete.

"We came into it thinking we could get a better result than we did but it’s all to play for. We’ve been in the situation before of being 1-0 down and we’ve turned it around.

"We know how tough the task will be but we’ve kept ourselves alive and with that crowd behind us next week, anything’s possible."
