The Ibrox hero is out of contract at the club in the summer and could retire from the game.

Speaking to former Rangers teammate on Alan Hutton on BT Sport ahead of the clash with Braga he opened up on his thinking. However, he insists his focus is on the remainder of the season before he make a call on his future but conceded a Europa League medal could be a good way to sign off. The 40-year-old is out of contract in the summer and could hang up his gloves after becoming a legend at Ibrox.

Of course, Rangers will have to do this without Alfredo Morelos, ruled out for the season, and come up against a familiar face in Carlos Carvahal, once of Swansea and Sheffield Wednesday, who is in charge of the youngest team in the competition. All the teams in he world have weak points and we will try to exploit the weak points of Glasgow Rangers. We have one goal to go to the semis. The Scottish fans starts the party already, the Braga fans will come a bit later. 1 min: And away we go in Portugal, where the atmosphere is bouncing, the home fans really turning it on. Goldson has to step out to clear the danger. 50 min: Lundstram forces the ball down the field, with Braga pushing hard on to Rangers players. 2 min: A speeding Ryan Kent almost gets down the right, but Braga clear and attack with speed of their own. 5 min: Chaos in the Braga box. The advice to Rangers plays now is to shoot on sight. Tavernier takes the set piece and makes a mess of it again. 57 min: Arfield tries to charge down Matheus but ends up being tricked by the goalie, not that it won’t have sent shivers down the spine of Braga’s fans.

The Portuguese club has participated in the Europa League and the former UEFA Cup on 16 occasions, with the runner-up in 2011 as the best result. In addition, it has participated in the Champions League 11 times, with the semifinals of the 2009-10 and 2019-20 seasons as the best result. With the League Cup and Portuguese Cup titles in the last two seasons, they are currently fighting for Conference League places. It is a club with a tradition in Europe, which has the 1980 UEFA Cup as a great international trophy. The azulgranas would face each other with this history of English football in a hypothetical semifinals. Despite its short history -it was created in 2009-, the German club is a fixture in European competitions since its promotion to the Bundesliga in 2016.

Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst has confirmed Uddingston's Alex Lowry is out of tonight's Europa League match with Braga.

The former Barcelona midfielder said of the Uddingston talent: "We don't have Lowry. He is unavailable. What keeps Lowry out of the game is unknown. In a pre-match injury update ahead of the trip to Portugal, van Bronckhorst confirmed that the Lanarkshire ace is one of the players who can't play, along with Alfredo Morelos and Ianis Hagi.

INTERVIEW BY SIMON JONES: Oscar Garcia gives Sportsmail the inside track on how West Ham can combat Lyon ahead of their big Europa League quarter-final tie ...

They were in fact the first team this season to get a win at Lyon. That said, the West Ham squad has the ability to really make the French side suffer. The fact that the away goals rule is no longer in place means that both the home and away games are of equal importance. If West Ham manage to regain possession and play direct and into the spaces, they'll get a lot of joy. Meanwhile, if Lyon get the upper hand, they've got players who are capable of playing a through-ball and are a real threat on one-on-ones. He can dribble, shoot, defend, he's very strong with his back to goal, he's a complete player and he's showing all of his class here in France.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men have no time to lick domestic wounds as they aim for another memorable night in Europe.

But I think this Rangers side is different, we’re different as well, and when you go as far as the quarter-finals, both teams are favourites. Kemar Roofe didn't quite inspire in his place on Sunday afternoon. Van Bronckhorst has options to tweak his line-up and that could mean a return to the starting XI for Glen Kamara.

For the first time since the 1980-81 season, West Ham are in European quarter-final action as they host Lyon tonight at the London Stadium.

The fans were all over them and then we were because the fans were pushing us.” They couldn’t play, couldn’t deal with the pressure and the atmosphere. Fredericks keeps his place, with Johnson and Coufal both on the bench. Otherwise it’s as you’d expect, with Antonio, Benrahma, Fornals and Antonio all starting. For the first time since the 1980-81 season, West Ham are in European quarter-final action as they host Lyon tonight at the London Stadium. Just the one change for West Ham then - Areola comes in to replace Fabianski in goal.

That spells bad news for Frankfurt, who have lost their two Bundesliga games and aren't exactly renowed for their ability to score goals themselves. READ MORE.

The winner of this tie will set-up a semi-final against the victor in Lyon’s clash with West Ham United. In devastating form after a busy Janaury transfer window, Barca have the firepower to trouble pretty much any team in Europe. A resurgent Barcelona travel to Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday evening in the first round of their Europa League quarter-final.

But David Moyes has made West Ham tough. Powered by injustice after seeing Felix Zwayer dismiss Cresswell for fouling Moussa Dembele, the 10 men dug in and took ...

Gusto did not do enough to stop Fornals and when the Spaniard prodded the ball on to Boateng it ran through to Bowen, whose messy shot hit the Lyon defender and bounced over Lopes. Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice struggled to keep the ball away from Tanguy Ndombele and Thiago Mendes, although there was hope on the break. The striker’s touch had taken him away from goal, while Zouma was covering, and it felt ludicrous that there was no intervention from VAR. West Ham refused to let it happen. There were possibilities when Lyon played through Houssem Aouar and the opening goal almost arrived when Lucas Paquetá broke down the left, only for Dembélé to turn the Brazilian’s cross wide. After all, Lyon were Champions League semi-finalists two years ago and, although their domestic form has been inconsistent this season, they remain an accomplished team and it quickly became clear that they were capable of making life uncomfortable for West Ham.

There was a sour note to the match after a pitch invader – the second of the game – jumped out of the home end and actually stopped a promising Hammers attack before he was escorted off. Kurt Zouma was also on the scene as cover but Zwayer decided Cresswell was the last man and pulled out a straight red card, to the obvious delight of the winking Dembele and the dismay of David Moyes. West Ham battle to Lyon draw after losing Aaron Cresswell to first-half red card Jarrod Bowen was on target as West Ham battled to a 1-1 Europa League quarter-final first-leg draw against Lyon after Aaron Cresswell was controversially sent off.

There was a sour note to the match after a pitch invader - the second of the game - jumped out of the home end and actually stopped a promising Hammers attack before he was escorted off. Kurt Zouma was also on the scene as cover but Zwayer decided Cresswell was the last man and pulled out a straight red card, to the obvious delight of the winking Dembele and the dismay of David Moyes. The decision could have left West Ham with a mountain to climb ahead of the second leg in the French city overlooked by the Alps next week.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side fell to an Abel Ruiz goal but can still bounce back in next week's second leg at Ibrox.

Trusting in depth was at odds with how Van Bronckhorst used only two subs from a possible five in defeat to Celtic and it was the same pair who came off the bench there who started here, with the addition of Kamara into midfield. Horta did have the ball in the net a minute later, but the goal was ruled out for a foul on Ryan Jack in the build-up. Rangers failed to deal with a deep cross and the ball broke to Horta to slam against the post with the goal at his mercy. The pace of that pair was clearly spooking Braga and Rangers had the better of the opening exchanges without troubling Matheus in the home goal. And it was the visitors who threatened first, with Sakala snatching at a rebound after Kent had been played in and denied by a swarm of red and white shirts. Anticipation for a mammoth occasion in the club's history was dampened by a devastating defeat to Celtic in the Premiership title race at the weekend.

It was a hugely eventful night of Europa League action as the first legs of all four quarter finals were played out with both Barcelona and West Ham in the ...

Rangers will still fancy themselves to rescue the tie in the second leg but this was another underwhelming and disappointing showing. While there would have been hopes that they could have used that frustration to rally in Portugal, it was another low-key performance that has given them plenty of work to do for next week’s return leg in Glasgow. Lyon slowly began to dominate possession and the territory in the game, so it was no great surprise that they equalised midway through the second half. So furious was David Moyes with the incident, that he berated German official Felix Zwayer on his way off the pitch at the break – for which the Scotsman was booked. Yet despite plenty of eye-catching link-up play in the final third, Barca struggled to regularly breach the Frankfurt defence. Both were involved in a scintillating one-touch passing move which cut open Frankfurt’s defence and allowed Ferran Torres to run through on goal and slot home the equaliser.

Braga had a good plan and did what was needed after Abel Ruiz's goal put them ahead in the 40th minute, but they'll have to be careful in the second leg to ensure their lead is retained. He'd make up for it, however, scoring in the 41st minute to level things heading into the half. While Creswell won't be available for the second leg in France, West Ham have shown before that they can't be counted out of any match. It was a match that could've been a landmark victory for Frankfurt, but Tutu's dismissal in the 78th minute meant that they'd have to hold on for dear life in the latter stages. West Ham also struggled in their 1-1 draw to Lyon, but considering the circumstances, David Moyes will likely be happy with the result. Goals were hard to come by in the first legs of the Europa League quarterfinals, but red cards and drama were on display everywhere on a Thursday slate that was anything but boring.

Ansgar Knauff had given Eintracht Frankfurt the lead against Barcelona before being pegged back, while Bødo/Glimt beat Roma 2-1 in Conference League.

Frankfurt soaked up the pressure early on, hoping to hit Barça on the break, but were in danger after three minutes when Kevin Trapp tipped Torres’s shot over the bar. Marseille hold the same advantage over Greece’s Paok Salonika, despite playing the closing moments with 10 men after Gerson was sent off four minutes into added-on time. The sides then traded goals with Yira Sor giving Prague the lead in the 67th minute, only for Argentinian defender Marcos Senesi to equalise.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side were beaten 1-0 in their quarter-final first leg clash.

McGregor only had one save to make in the second half but did the necessary, pushing Andre Horta’s drive behind for a corner. It was a howler from Leon Balogun as he swiped at fresh air, allowing Iuri Medeiros’ cross to reach Ruiz, who punished error with a clinical finish beyond McGregor at the near post. A half-time rejig saw van Bronckhorst shunt John Lundstram back into a three-man defence when Braga were in possession. And the similarities didn’t extend to the manner of their defensive display. Braga had to hold their own breath on a couple of times as Jack sent Kent and then Sakala racing in behind but neither could take advantage. But it quickly became evident they were struggling to shake off their Old Firm anguish.

Ferran Torres salvaged the draw in the second-tier European competition with an equaliser following a series of fluent passes around the box in the 66th ...

Ibrahim Traoré scored with a backheel shot in the dying seconds of injury time for Slavia Prague to earn a draw. Brazilian defender Tuta received his second yellow in the 78th minute and was ejected. The Norwegian club routed Roma 6-1 in the group stage for Jose Mourinho’s biggest loss as a coach. Barcelona was knocked out of the lucrative Champions League in the team’s first post-Lionel Messi season. Both sides hit the woodwork twice. Barcelona failed to win an away match in the Europa League for the first time after it was held 1-1 by 10-man Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

David Moyes was left 'baffled' as one West Ham fan, who disrupted one of their attacks in their 1-1 Europa League first-leg draw v Lyon.

Technically they were very good, but we defended well and made it hard for them.” “It was the same phase of play as the red card, and I would have expected VAR to do something about it. “I was baffled,” said the West Ham boss. “I’m not going to talk about the referee, I’m not going to bother.” “It was not a good performance by us but it was a resilient performance in the second half with 10 men. “I’m certainly not going to talk about the referee, not at all.

Three of the ties are still level and the other one is far from over; can the likes of Barcelona, Rangers and West Ham reach the UEFA Europa League ...

Atalanta succeeded in cutting Leipzig's supply lines for much of the encounter, and will look to seize the game by the throat in the second leg, though their guests may have similar ideas. The first leg between Atalanta and Leipzig was deranged; both sides hit the woodwork twice, Leipzig had a penalty saved, and while it ended 1-1, it could easily have been 3-3, 4-4 or 5-5. The last time the Arsenalistas came to Ibrox, they went 2-0 up only to lose 3-2, and they may be inclined to go for broke again this time. A 1-1 draw in London looks like a good result on paper, but Lyon returned to France with some regrets, having failed to establish a lead despite being up against ten men for the whole of the second half. "It's a one-goal difference," shrugged Giovanni van Bronckhorst after his team's narrow defeat in Portugal. "[In the second leg, we are] at home, with the ground behind us. They did not get an easy ride in the first leg against Frankfurt, but the Bundesliga side will expect no mercy at Camp Nou. As Barça's German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen put it, "For the return leg, we know exactly what to do."

A pitch invader stopped a promising attack from West Ham United during their Europa League quarter-final clash against Lyon on Thursday night.

Lyon forward Moussa Dembele was caught winking after Aaron Cresswell was sent off in the first-half, who received his marching orders for pulling Dembele to the ground and denying a goalscoring opportunity. As the Hammers pushed for a winner late on in the tie, a pitch invader sprinted onto the pitch and brought a promising counter-attack to a halt. The Hammers were reduced to 10-men just before half-time when defender Aaron Cresswell was sent-off for pulling Moussa Dembele to the ground and denying a goalscoring opportunity.

In the Europa Conference League, Roma, one of the favorites to win UEFA’s new third-tier competition, failed to get its revenge at Bodø/Glimt and lost 2-1. Both sides hit the woodwork twice. Barcelona was knocked out of the lucrative Champions League in the team's first post-Lionel Messi season. Bodø/Glimt also earned a draw in the return match in Italy, and has eliminated Celtic and AZ Alkmaar in the knockout stage.
