The official X account of the UEFA Europa League recently recognised a brilliant phase of play involving Hamza Igamane at the end of Rangers quarter-final first leg with Athletic Club.
Barry Ferguson's side went down to 10 men early doors following Robin Propper's dismissal.
Despite Athletic then asserting their dominance in the match, Rangers held out and, thanks to an impressive Liam Kelly penalty save, came away with a goalless draw.

Ferguson made numerous changes in the match, one of which saw Igamane replace Cyriel Dessers late on.
As the hosts looked to see out the match, the Moroccan forward took the ball into the corner, evading numerous red and white shirts as he did so, proving his elite levels of control:

Rangers travel to the Basque region for the tie's second leg next Thursday. Interim head coach Ferguson reckons they are more than in with a chance of progressing to the semi-finals: "We're still in the tie," he said.
"I said to them [the players] before the game, we need to make sure we're in this tie. And certainly the tie is there for us to go in and try and get through into the semi-finals.
"But it's the same for Bilbao. They're still in the tie. They're at home. But we'll go and give it our best shot. We'll set it up in a way that it'll try and get us, hopefully, into the semi-final."
