# Glasgow Rangers: Fans delighted by UEFA coefficient news

**Glasgow Rangers may not have achieved their domestic goals last season but they certainly did well in Europe.**

The ‘Gers were competing in the Europa League, and they made it to the round of 16 before being knocked out by Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen. They beat the likes of Feyenoord, Porto and Braga as they made their way through the competition, and it is the best performance of any Scottish side on the continent since Celtic reached the Champions League round of 16 during the 2012/13 campaign.
