Michael Beale insists Rangers’ Champions League hopes should not be written off following the 2-2 play-off draw with PSV Eindhoven at Ibrox. Gers attacker Abdallah Sima curled in a terrific first-leg opener just before the interval but the Dutch side levelled through midfielder Ibrahim Sangare just after the hour mark. As play raced from end to end, substitute Rabbi Matondo scored his first Light Blues goal in the 76th minute before PSV captain Luuk de Jong levelled with a header four minutes later, and the match ended in a repeat of last year’s score at the same stage of the competition. The two sides drew 2-2 at Ibrox before Rangers scrambled a 1-0 win in Eindhoven and Beale remains confident of progress in the Netherlands next Wednesday night. Asked if lightning can strike twice against the Dutch side, Beale said: “I think so, yes, of course. Naturally we will go across and be extremely positive. “There were moments of tonight’s game when I thought we were very good. “I thought we scored two good goals and all night we caused them problems defensively. There were areas of the game we’d want to improve on, for sure. But everything is to play for. “We wanted to set up next week and we’ve done that. “Tonight when we were struggling, we fought for each other. We ran for each other, we problem-solved on the pitch. “This new group are learning very quickly that big nights like tonight bring us together. “I don’t want anybody to underestimate us next week because it’s in this club to go put this performance on. “We’ll have our thousands of fans travelling over there and as a team we’re going there to get this job done and we will give it everything we can. “I think the tie is evenly set. I don’t think them and their coach are travelling home thinking ‘this is a job done’. “They will know how hard physically that game was, at the end it looked like they had one or two bumps and bruises as well. It is finely poised. “I think the two penalty boxes are going to be decisive. It’s important you play well between them but the most important thing is you take your chances when they come.” PSV boss Peter Bosz was left with “mixed feelings” but is confident of finishing the tie next week. He said: “I am never afraid of anything. I always think ‘go for it’. “Even if I was there last season (when Rangers won), my mentality would be that this season we are going to make it. “I felt we would be dominating here and they would play the counter-attack real well and really fast. “That is how they scored their second goal. They had the energy of the crowd. “We have to play a lot better in the return or we will not make it through. What do we need to do? Score more goals and don’t let stupid goals go in against us.”

Max Verstappen bounced back from his mistake in qualifying for the United States Grand Prix to put his Red Bull on pole position for today’s sprint race. Verstappen will line up from only sixth place for Sunday’s main event at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas after his quickest lap was chalked off for exceeding track limits here on Friday night. But less than 24 hours later, the triple world champion atoned for his error to seal top spot ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc by 0.055 seconds for the 19-lap dash to the chequered flag later today. “The last lap was not great but we are still on pole so it shows the car is working well,” said Verstappen, with less than a tenth separating the top-three drivers. “It will be an exciting afternoon with cars close to each other so we don’t know what will happen in the sprint race. Normally in the race we are okay, but this track is demanding.” Lewis Hamilton finished third, seven hundredths behind Verstappen, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri fourth and fifth respectively for McLaren. George Russell qualified eighth. It was not all plain-sailing for Verstappen after he spun on the exit of Turn 9 in Q2. Verstappen took too much kerb on the entry to the left hander which sent him onto the grass and into a pirouette. But after he completed a 360-degree spin, Verstappen was able to make it back to his garage and into Q3. Hamilton also survived a hairy moment in the opening phase of qualifying when he nudged the back of Yuki Tsunoda’s AlphaTauri. “Check my front wing,” said Hamilton on the radio. “One of the drivers blocked me and we touched.” Hamilton was able to continue and although the stewards noted the incident, no further action was taken. Daniel Ricciardo, absent from the last five races with a broken hand, out-qualified Tsunoda to progress to Q2 and finish 11th. Tsunoda starts 19th, one place ahead of Logan Sargeant who propped up the order for the second day in a row at his home event. The sprint gets under way at 5pm local time (11pm BST).
