Rangers held by Bursaspor

Rangers, already assured of coming third and taking a Europa League spot, went ahead after a rare attack in the 19th minute with Kenny Miller driving home a shot from a left-wing cross.

"It was a good end to our campaign. We played good football and exerted a lot of pressure and created scoring opportunities in the second half," said Bursaspor coach Ertugrul Saglam.

"It was a match we should have won and we should be disappointed that we only drew," he added.

Both teams had already been eliminated from the Champions League before Tuesday's match, with Manchester United on 14 points and Valencia (11) going through from a tough group.

Bursa's preparations for the match had been overshadowed by trouble between their fans and those of Istanbul's Besiktas at a domestic league match on Sunday.
