Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “What a night. What a game and what an atmosphere for everyone connected to the club.

“Really proud of everyone connected to Rangers. It was a fantastic game to watch and listen, it’s thoroughly deserved.

“The journey they’ve been on, Gio and the boys and everyone connected to the club deserve a lot of credit.

“There’s one step to go. I’ll be supporting from afar but I wish them well.”
