But still you have to do it over and over again," Van Bronckhurst said. Some of last season's games at Ibrox when they reached the Europa League final were epic and this one reached similar heights. "The second goal gave the opponent more confidence and the third goal...there was a problem in the defence but they made the most of the chance." "We want to be in the Champions League and I saw the desire in my players." "We controlled everything really well and when you lose a goal it is hard to get the same scenario in the second half. "It is a big chance to take the last hurdle and play Champions League football." "There was one moment in the second half with James Sands, I was like, 'this can be a very important moment for the game'. It was good that he didn't give the yellow card and gave the ball to us. "Today, I was happy with the decisions of the referee, of course it was in our favour. The Dutchman, who was unhappy with a penalty awarded to USG in last week's 2-0 defeat in Belgium, said: "We knew last week wasn't a penalty, which made it harder for us. "That's why I am so proud of my players, the way they played, with passion, with desire, with fire to go to the next round. "That is the only way you have to be on the pitch, to create the atmosphere we created with the fans today. "That's why I am so proud of my players, the way they played, with passion, with desire, with fire to go to the next round."
