Good record of Rangers in the Europa League since 2017–18

 

Since Rangers returned to European competition in 2017, the club and the Europa League have been a match made in heaven.
For a dejected fan base, the Glasgow giants’ relegation to the Scottish lower leagues ended a seven-year drought of no continental away visits.
However, Rangers went on an emotional rollercoaster in the Europa League, ranging from the lows of Progres Niederkorn to the highs of making it to the UEFA tournament final, after coming third in the Scottish Premiership 2016–17.
Since the start of the Pedro Caixinha era, Rangers have participated in 70 Europa League games, including qualifications and play-offs, and they have won an amazing 35 of those matches, according to Fitbastats.
Over the last seven years, there have been just 14 games lost and 21 draws, for an amazing losing rate of just 20%.

Rangers’ Europa League campaign takes a drastic turn for the better after this awful start. Rangers were expected to have no trouble winning both of their legs against Progres Niederkorn, the Luxembourg minnows.Kenny Miller’s goal gave the Light Blues a 1-0 lead in the first leg, but the return match ended in utter tragedy. At the first few hurdles, Progres eliminated the 1972 European Cup Winners’ Cup champions from Europe with a remarkable 2-1 aggregate victory.In a bush at the Stade, manager Pedro Caixinha famously got into a fight with Rangers supporters. It seems sense that Josy Barthel’s reputation at Ibrox never fully recovered following the loss.
