European Nights: Nikica Jelavic Scores the First Goal for Rangers in UEFA Champions League Qualifier against Malmo FF (0-1) In the electric atmosphere of Ibrox Stadium, the anticipation was palpable as Rangers Football Club prepared to take on Malmo FF in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. The Scottish giants, making their return to Europe's premier club competition after a five-year absence, were determined to make an impact. The first half of the match was a tense affair, with both teams creating chances but failing to find the back of the net. As the second half began, the crowd grew restless, sensing that a goal was needed to swing the momentum in Rangers' favor. Enter Nikica Jelavic. The Croatian international striker, a summer signing from Hull City, had yet to score for his new club but was determined to make amends. In the 53rd minute, he received a perfectly weighted pass from teammate Lee Wallace, just inside the penalty area. With a swift turn and a powerful strike, Jelavic unleashed a shot that flew past the Malmo goalkeeper and into the back of the net. The stadium erupted in jubilation as Jelavic ran towards the Rangers fans, pumping his fists in celebration. The first goal in the UEFA Champions League for Rangers in over five years had been scored, and it was all thanks to the clinical finish of their new number nine. The victory was a crucial one for Rangers, giving them a valuable lead in the first leg of the qualifier. As the team celebrated on the pitch, it was clear that European nights were back at Ibrox, and the fans were eager for more. Kirk O'Rourke captured this iconic moment in this stunning photograph, immortalizing Jelavic's goal and the electric atmosphere of Ibrox Stadium on this historic European night.
