Rangers Draw 1-1 with Olympiacos in Greece

Jack Butland captained Rangers to a 1-1 draw against Olympiacos in the Europa League, expressing pride in the team's performance despite the absence of established captain James Tavernier, who was benched for this match. Butland acknowledged Tavernier's contributions and emphasized that he remains the team's captain. Manager Philippe Clement explained that the decision to rest Tavernier was about managing his minutes due to age-related concerns, aiming for competition within the squad. The draw leaves Rangers with seven points from four matches in the Europa League, just outside the top eight. Despite the positive performance, Clement noted the need for improvement and a stronger mentality to secure wins. The team's resilience is underscored by their five-match unbeaten streak in away Europa League games.
