Gers through after draw in France
Rangers booked their place in the knockout stages of the UEFA Cup with a battling 2-2 draw in France against Auxerre.
Nacho Novo maintained his 100% goalscoring record in the group stages to cancel out Ireneusz Jelen's opener, before Kris Boyd levelled the scoreline again after Daniel Niculae had restored Auxerre's lead.
The result guarantees the Gers European football into the new year before the visit of Partizan Belgrade in their final group game.
Wins over Livorno and Maccabi Haifa had propelled Rangers to the top of Group A after the first two games and they knew a point at the Abbe Deschamps Stadium would be enough to see them safely through to the knockout stages.
It is the first time in 35 years both Celtic and Rangers will feature in European competition after Christmas, Celtic's win over Manchester United securing their place in the last 16 of the Champions League.
