ertuğrul sağlam wants bursaspor to end the campaign with their first points at home to a rangers fc side whose manager walter smith is himself eager to lay a 36-year-old ghost to rest.
bursaspor's debut uefa champions league campaign ends with the visit of rangers fc on tuesday and ertuğrul sağlam is keen to secure their first points as he begins to turn his mind to returning to europe next season. rangers, who beat bursaspor 1-0 at home, will finish third in group c and go into the uefa europa league round of 32. yet manager walter smith is still keen for a good result in turkey – and to reverse a loss he suffered in bursa 36 years ago.
ertuğrul sağlam, bursaspor coach
after the draw we thought manchester united and valencia had a great chance of reaching the next round, while bursaspor and rangers would battle for third place. in order to achieve this we needed a positive result from our visit to glasgow but we failed to get one. tomorrow's game is a chance to collect our first points. it's important for us to finish our first ever champions league campaign with a win by playing entertaining football. it won't be easy though.
the matches we have played have formed a good basis for next season's european games, if we make it. we're currently second in this league and very hopeful about this goal. rangers are a very good team. i believe they can go far in the uefa europa league.
walter smith, rangers manager
this game is as important as our previous champions league matches. we'll do our best to win it. this season we performed better in the champions league compared to the past. i expect an improvement in our performance following christmas. in 1974/75 i came to bursa for a cup winners' cup match as a dundee united player. we lost 1-0 but this time we want a better result, a victory.
bursaspor had a poor run in the group. i expect them to play hard to win their last game in front of their own supporters. although the positions of both teams have already been decided in the group, i expect a big game tomorrow.

volkan şen was sent off just before half-time as the crocs suffered their first away league defeat in 11 matches. filip hološko's goal was the first bursaspor have conceded after the interval in the süper lig this season. sağlam's side have won just three of their last 14 games in all competitions.

smith was a 26-year-old defender in the dundee united side beaten 1-0 by bursaspor in the 1974/74 uefa cup winners' cup second round second leg following a goalless draw in scotland. european debutants bursaspor lost to fc dynamo kyiv in the quarter-finals, which remains their best uefa competition run.
sercan yıldırım struck an equaliser 11 minutes from time as turkish champions bursaspor got off the mark in group at the sixth and final attempt.
sercan yıldırım ensured that bursaspor's maiden uefa champions league group stage campaign did not end point-less as rangers fc buckled in the final stages in turkey.
kenny miller had put the visitos ahead on 19 minutes, but the turkish titleholders provided a more industrious performance after the interval. the 20-year-old sercan gained reward for the improved showing, firing home with the outside of his right foot after coolly controlling ozan ipek's ball from the left.
certain of finishing bottom of the section, bursaspor's starting xi featured only four of the players that had kicked off their 6-1 matchday 5 loss at valencia cf. rangers – with third and a uefa europa league spot in the bag – chose to hand 18-year-old darren cole his senior debut at right-back while kyle hutton, 19, made his first start in midfield.
all that new blood might explain the unsteady pulse of the action as the fog descended on the bursa atatürk stadium. steven naismith almost got his head to an early cross for rangers, hüseyin çimsir crashed a shot into a team-mate for the crocs, and then leonel núñez spun on to a ball from the right touchline, but could not keep his shot down.
so far, so inconclusive, but rangers then took the lead. steven whittaker's cross from the left was hardly to feet, but lone striker kenny miller was given sufficient space by his marker to check back and steady himself before arrowing a powerful effort past yavuz özkan, given a rare start in goal for ertuğrul sağlam's side.
substitute pablo batalla fired wide as bursaspor picked up the pace after the break, bekir ozan has sent a dipping drive over and federico insúa was not too far off with a swinging 75th-minute free-kick. chances kept coming after sercan levelled, though the leggy no9 miscued the best of them late on after bursting into the box.

bursa, şampiyonlar ligi'ndeki son maçında ilk puanını aldı. iskoç ekibi rangers'ı ikinci yarıda sahadan silen yeşil-beyazlılar, miller'a sercan'la cevap verdi, taraftarını teselli etti.
‘sonuna kadar yeşil-beyaz’
bu başlığı haluk levent verdi! maç öncesiyle başlayalım söze... saatler öncesinden gittiğimiz bursa’da stat çevresinde ve taraftarların zaman geçirdiği mekanlardaydık. bir yandan haluk levent’in yeşil-beyazlılar için bestelediği, “sonuna kadar buradayız, sonuna kadar yeşil-beyaz” çalıyor, diğer tarafta da bu sözler doğrulanıyor. bursaspor aşıkları, avrupa’da iddiası kalmayan takımlarının şampiyonlar ligi’ndeki son maçı için hazırlıklarını yapıyor! takımları sıfır çekmişti dün akşama kadar, doğru... ancak şehrin en büyük gurur kaynağı bursaspor yalnız bırakılamazdı. tribünde boşluklar vardı, ama destek öncekiler gibi kusursuzdu. güzel kareler ortaya çıktı, maç öncesi... iskoç taraftarlarla, yeşil-beyazlılar bir arada, hem de tezahüratlarla... bursaspor atkısıyla gezen bir glasgow rangerslı’nın masa masa gezerek, dağıttığı rozetler, yeşil-beyazlılar’ın da misafirperverliği... hepsi güzeldi, akıllara da kendi ligimizdeki karşılaşma öncelerini getirdi. darısı vatandaşlarıyla yaptıkları müsabakalara!
anlamlı veda!
gelelim 90 dakikaya... bursaspor bu sezon süper lig de dahil ilk kez bir maçta bu kadar üstündü, ama bunu skora yansıtamadı. prestij mücadelesinden öteye gitmeyen karşılaşmada 8. dakikada bekir şutladı, kalecide kaldı. 16’da sercan mükemmel getirdi, nunez auta dikti. 19’da glasgow tek tehlikeli atağında golü buldu. miller kalenin karşısından yavuz’u avladı: 0-1. günün en etkili isimlerinden biri kuşkusuz bekir’di... timsah’ın orta alanda üstünlüğü ele almasındaki büyük etkendi. yüksek pas yüzdesi ve rakip kalede yarattığı tehlikeli pozisyonlarla öne çıktı. 75’te insua’nın kullandığı frikikte top az farkla dışarı çıktı. 79’da sercan tarihe geçti! bursaspor’a devler ligi’nde ilk puanını getiren golü attı: 1-1. bir dakika sonra net pozisyondan yararlanamadı, ama bursaspor, avrupa’ya anlamlı bir vedayla el salladı!
uefa, avrupa şampiyonlar ligi c grubu'nda glasgow rangers ile 1-1 berabere kalan bursaspor'un beraberlik golünü atan sercan yıldırım için "sercan bursaspor'u rahatlattı" yorumunu yaptı.
uefa’nın internet sitesindeki haberde, yeşil-beyazlıların avrupa şampiyonlar ligi’ndeki ikinci golünü atıp, takımına ilk puanı getiren yeşil-beyazlı futbolcu için "bursaspor’un gruptaki 6. ve son maçının sona ermesine 11 dakika kala, sercan takımına beraberlik golünü getirdi" ifadelerini kullandı.
haberde, "sercan yıldırım, ilk avrupa şampiyonlar ligi macerasında, bursaspor’un gruptan puansız ayrılmasına izin vermedi" yorumu yer aldı.
rangers’ın ezeli rakibi olan celtic’in renklerinde olan timsah, sahaya da celtic tipi enine çizgili formayla çıkmayı tercih etti. yeşil-beyazlılar, iskoçya’da oynanan ilk karşılaşmada da bu formayı giymek istemiş, ancak çıkan tartışmalar nedeniyle ajax stili formayla mücadele edilmişti.
