Rangers 3 Rapid Vienna 1: Late show gets Gerrard up and running in Europe

Steven Gerrard's Rangers moved top of Europa League Group G as late goals from James Tavernier and Alfredo Morelos saw off Rapid Vienna 3-1.

Alfredo Morelos scored twice as Steven Gerrard's Rangers moved top of Europa League Group G with a 3-1 victory over Rapid Vienna.

In a first European group-stage fixture at Ibrox since 2010, Vienna - under new boss Dietmar Kuhbauer - kicked the contest into life 42 minutes in through Veton Berisha's controversial opener.

Although Andrei Ivan had blatantly strayed offside down the right, the officials failed to spot it, and Rangers were made to pay when the winger's cross was deflected to Berisha for a simple finish.
