Jim White instantly reacts to Rangers draw v Bilbao as Tottenham legend speaks out
Jim White has shared the feelings of one Tottenham legend the talkSPORT host bumped into after Rangers’ 0-0 draw with Athletic Bilbao.
The Gers welcomed Bilbao to Ibrox on Thursday (10 April) for the first leg of their last-eight UEFA Europa League tie against the Spanish side.
Barry Ferguson made a big decision to drop Jack Butland, with Ally McCoist questioning the interim Rangers boss about this decision ahead of kick-off.
However, this call paid off as the Gers were able to keep a clean sheet, despite playing much of the match a man down after Robin Pröpper was sent off in the 13th minute.
Liam Kelly was the hero for Rangers, saving a penalty on his European debut for the Gers.
It means it is all to play for when Ferguson and his players travel to the Estadio de San Mamés on Thursday (17 April), with White sharing instant reaction after full-time in Glasgow.
White shares thoughts of Graham Roberts after Rangers draw
The Gers’ draw with Athletic Bilbao wasn’t short of controversy, with UEFA potentially set to punish one individual after scenes at Ibrox.
However, ultimately, Ferguson would have just been delighted to hold on for a draw considering the circumstances, and it leaves the Gers with a chance to advance to the final four and continue their European journey when they travel to Spain.
| Possesion | Shots | Shots on target | |
| Rangers | 71 per cent | 4 | 0 |
| Athletic Bilbao | 29 per cent | 19 | 3 |
Just minutes after full-time, talkSPORT’s White took to his personal X account (10 April) to reveal that he had bumped into Spurs legend Roberts, who was “super-pleased” about Rangers’ result against Bilbao.
Rangers should arrive in Spain full of confidence
It has been a difficult season for Rangers.
However, their result against Bilbao and the fact they got past Fenerbahçe demonstrates the Gers can go far in Europe. Therefore, they should arrive in Spain full of confidence and play with no fear.
