Lyon 1-1 Rangers: Visitors end group campaign with creditable draw

Rangers rounded off their Europa League group campaign with a creditable draw away to Ligue 1 side Lyon.

Scott Wright's deflected strike gave the Scottish champions a deserved lead over the runaway Group A winners.

But the hosts turned the screw after the break and levelled the game through Calvin Bassey's own goal.

Rangers had already secured the runners-up spot in the section and will meet one of eight Champions League dropouts in the play-off round next.

The Ibrox side were outclassed against the French club in September's opening group game, but this time Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men dug in and excelled in spells, amid six changes to the starting line-up.
