Draw in Greece leaves Souttar with 'slight frustration'

John Souttar's delight at Rangers' performance against Olympiakos was tinged with frustration that they headed home with one Europa League point instead of three.

Having spurned two big chances for the opener, Cyriel Dessers redeemed himself with a deserved equaliser in Greece after Ayoub El Kaabi had given the hosts a second-half lead.

The 1-1 draw leaves Philippe Clement's side with seven points at the halfway stage of the league phase - a tally Scotland defender Souttar believes should be higher.

"It's a really difficult place to go to and that's a top team we played," said Souttar.

"They obviously won the Conference League last season and I thought we stayed together as a team.

"We stuck to the gameplan, and it's about moments in these games, and as much as we are pleased there is a slight frustration because we thought we'd done enough for three points.

"We'd probably have taken one point going there, but it's slightly frustrating but we have to be pleased with that performance.

"I'd say this was a good performance from the whole team defensively.

"To a man, midfielders, attackers, we defend as a unit and to pick up points in this competition against top players from top teams you have to defend as a unit, and we did that on Thursday night."

Rangers' qualification prospects for the knockout stage are still alive, but they face a tough run with Nice and Manchester United away either side of a home game with Tottenham before finishing off with the visit of Union Saint-Gilloise to Glasgow.

"I think we just got to take every game as it comes and if we play like we did on Thursday night, being compact, working for each other, and doing the hard yards, and then taking our taking our moments, we will be fine," added Souttar.

"They're going to have moments, it's important everyone stays together, and that's what we did on Thursday night."
