The Scots are pleased that Rangers showed character and managed to save the match with a 1-1 draw. But they were not impressed with the performance of the Glasgow team. They urge the players to believe in themselves and act braver on the pitch to beat Dynamo in Scotland. Rangers fans are not so much afraid of Kyiv and admit that they overestimated them against the weak Partizan. The Scots believe that in Glasgow they will see a different soccer, and their team will be able to beat Dynamo and qualify for the next round. Interestingly, the Scots consider Dynamo to be a stronger opponent than Salzburg or Twente. Therefore, they believe that they will be able to qualify for the Champions League group round if they beat Dynamo.

Sproull: The result is good, but the game is far from good. There is something to work on, the team is not impressive even against such an opponent. And if we go through, it will be much more difficult.
Ronald: Dynamo confirmed that they play good soccer. We were lucky to equalize the score in the last minute, but I don`t really want to be happy with such a result. "Rangers need to improve if we really plan to qualify for the Champions League group stage.
Qutertson: "Rangers were very lucky at the end of the match, but well done for fighting to the last. The team deserved not to lose today. The result 1:1 can be called fair.
Mackie: Much respect to all the fans who supported Rangers in Poland. The fact that the team tried to save the game until the last moment is also your merit. It is much harder to play without support. I hope that in Scotland there will be a filled stadium and even stronger support.
Whalen: I thought that Rangers would lose today. The conceded goal only confirmed my fears. And even the save in the final minutes did not bring me joy. "Rangers" should play much better and make not their fans worry, but the opponent.
Jamieson: The result is good, but in Glasgow we will have to play very different soccer. With the support of the fans there is a chance to win, but for sure it will not be an easy match. "Dinamo" in general is an equal opponent to us.
Grant: A hard game with a difficult opponent. Everyone expected such a match. But Rangers still have chances to reach the next round. And they are much better than I thought before.
Tearney: I think that the winner of our rivalry will end up playing in the Champions League group stage. I don't think that Twente or Salzburg are stronger than Rangers or Dynamo.
Gold: Our team has character. It does not give up and believes in itself. For this we can praise the coaching staff. But the way we played in the first half makes us think. "Rangers need to improve and do it as soon as possible. Next week we have to play much better.
Hunt: We were not afraid of Dynamo and tried to play on equal terms with them. This is already good. Because there were concerns about the readiness of our players for matches of such a high level. But to go further, we need to believe that we are stronger than the Ukrainians.
Bell: There is no need to panic. The coaching staff has perfectly prepared for the match. We need to realize that many players have to get used to the team, and there is no time for that. "Rangers" is rebuilding, and will improve as the season progresses. The main thing is to pass Dynamo, which will also help us to close the financial issues.
Aaron: Dynamo are stronger than Salzburg and Twente. It will be a shame to lose to the Ukrainians, because it will be much easier to pass the Austrians and the Dutch. This is our chance to make it to the group round, earn a lot of money and complete the rebuilding of the team.
Dillei: The beginning of the match was disturbing. Ukrainians scored a deserved goal, but in the second half the game changed in our favor. The coaching staff made successful substitutions, so our goal was also deserved. A draw is a fair result of the match.
Kenny: We didn`t deserve to win this match, but we didn`t deserve to lose it either. We played better than in the first official match, but still it's not enough to beat Dynamo. The opponent is difficult, so we should not relax.
Gordon: In Scotland Dynamo would fight for a place in the top-3. They are weaker than Celtic and somewhere on the same level with Rangers. In Ukraine, they are consistently in second place. Therefore, we can conclude that the Scottish championship is stronger than the Ukrainian championship.
Sinclair: I think that some fans should not scold the team, but remember that it was an away match with a strong opponent. Not so long ago I read that the main thing is not to concede 9 goals from Dynamo. And now, when we played a draw, there are dissatisfied fans, who wanted to win.
Hammell: Now many fans should be ashamed of themselves for not believing in Rangers. It was a difficult match, but we played decently against Dinamo. The Serbs were just too weak, so the Ukrainians were able to defeat them. "Rangers" is a little inferior to "Dynamo" in physical readiness, but it was us who managed to attack in the last minute and score a goal. This is good. If we pass Dynamo, it will help the team to believe in themselves and give positive emotions at the start of the season, which is very important.
Morton: Everyone was afraid that Dynamo would do to Rangers what they did to Partizan. But our team pleasantly surprised and for the most part of the match was not inferior to the Ukrainians. This can be called the main positive of the first game with Dynamo.
Dolan: If Rangers defeat Dynamo, they will be able to do it in the confrontation with Salzburg. I don't believe that the Dutch will be able to go further. In any case, Rangers are stronger than both teams. The main thing is to pass the Ukrainians.
Webster: It turns out that it's not Dynamo strong, but Partizan weak. After the Ukrainians scored 9 goals against the Serbs, there was anxiety in my heart, because we also have problems in defense. But today's match showed that the Ukrainians are not as strong as everyone said. The opponent is worthy, but they can be beaten, and we can reach the next round.
