Following a goalless first half, Belle Briede netted for the Czech side, converting a cross from the right to give Slavia Prague the lead at Broadwood.

However, Rangers equalised in the 81st minute with an impressive strike. Katie Wilkinson directed a header down to Nicola Docherty during a short corner routine, and the Scotland defender volleyed into the bottom corner, igniting celebrations among the Rangers fans.

Wilkinson also played a crucial role in the winning goal, delivering an inch-perfect pass to Eilidh Austin, who calmly found the net.

Leanne Crichton’s team finished the closing stages of extra time with 10 players after Eva Hendle received a second yellow card, yet they managed to hold on for the win.

Ajax secured a 2-0 victory over Brondby, setting up a match against Rangers on Saturday at 19:30 BST. The team that loses will drop into the third round of Europa League qualifying.
