Rangers produced another memorable European night on Wednesday as they beat PSV Eindhoven 1-0 in Holland to reach the group stages of the Champions League.

Antonio Colak made amends for knocking the Bears out in qualifying last season (while at Malmo) by scoring the decisive goal in the Netherlands as the Dutch Cup holders failed to make their own breakthrough.

The 28-year-old has started every game for Rangers so far this season with Alfredo Morelos not only still on his way back from injury but also being left out of the squad entirely due to his attitude [Sky Sports].

He will also miss the next three domestic games for the Light Blues after being sent off for violent conduct in the 2-2 draw away at Hibernian at the weekend but he still expressed his delight on Twitter.

“THIS IS MY TEAM!! WE ARE BACK!! CONGRATULATIONS BOYS!!” The Colombian said as he enjoyed the club’s success from Glasgow rather than Eindhoven.

PR or heart?

Only he will know if this tweet was sent by himself in a show of genuine love for the club and his teammates or if a PR manager has done it to try and cover over the cracks that are surfacing.

There is something very obviously wrong with what is going on at Auchenhowie right now and Giovanni van Bronckhorst must have been thinking this for a while.

Now he has Colak in the side and scoring, he can take a proper stance against the 25-year-old and maybe that will make him buck his ideas up from now on.

Morelos is still one of the best players at the club when he is on form and could score bucketloads alongside the Croatian if they paired together.

But his heart has to be in it before any of that can happen and if this really was him who posted the message on Twitter then maybe the tide is turning in Rangers’ favour once more.

In other Rangers news, van Bronckhorst is now having to pay the price for not giving this youngster the chance to shine in the first team.
