Rangers defeated Romanian champions FC Steaua Bucharest 4-0 at Ibrox Stadium to earn their second Europa League win of the year. With a great performance in Glasgow, Philippe Clement’s team moved past their crushing loss to Ligue 1 team Lyon the week before.

The hosts made a lively start to the encounter in Europe’s second-tier competition and took the lead through former Derby County ace Tom Lawrence. The Welshman was slightly fortunate to see his effort strike both feet before bobbling past the goalkeeper from 18 yards out.

Czech Republic winger Vaclav Cerny – on loan for the season – doubled the hosts’ advantage as he was allowed to cut inside and stroke the ball into the far corner with his weaker right foot. It was the least he deserved as the Gers’ most dangerous-looking attacker in the opening 45 minutes.

He was at it again just shy of the hour mark as a flowing team move resulted in Cerny guiding the ball into the back of the net with his left foot this time. He sat the defender down before easily slotting home to secure the three points. Hamza Igamane then registered his first goal for the club after a couple of neat step-overs to seal the dominant victory.
