Panathinaikos players celebrate their victory at the end of the UEFA Champions League second leg of the third qualifying round football match between Olympique Marseille and Panathinaikos at the Velodrome stadium in Marseille, on August 15, 2023. - AFPPIX: Panathinaikos stunned Marseille on penalties to reach the Champions League play-off round on Tuesday, while Rangers teed up a clash with PSV Eindhoven.
But there was a late twist, as just seconds after Matteo Guendouzi had seen a strong penalty appeal waved away, the Marseille midfielder was penalised for handball by VAR and Fotis Ioannidis dispatched the resulting 99th-minute spot-kick to force extra time. Panathinaikos will next face Braga, with the winners to secure their first group-stage appearance in over a decade.
But Tavernier struck to set up a play-off round rematch for Rangers against PSV Eindhoven, after their success against the Dutch team at the same stage last year.“It’s a new team, it’s about gelling together and continuing to work hard,“ Rangers captain Tavernier told BBC Scotland.“We have to put a real marker down at Ibrox .”
