Porto 1-1 Rangers: Steven Gerrard's side earn Europa League point

Published on: 24 October 2019

Luis Diaz opened the scoring in Portugal for the hosts

Rangers survived a late onslaught in Portugal to earn a deserved Europa League draw with Porto.

Allan McGregor was the hero at the death with a stunning double save to ensure Steven Gerrard's men finish matchday three in second spot.

Luis Diaz's screamer had the hosts ahead midway through the first half before Alfredo Morelos's leveller just before the interval.

Porto, behind Rangers on goal difference, go to Ibrox on 7 November.

Young Boys sit two points ahead on top of Group G with Feyenoord bottom.
