Bah is out to heap more misery on Gers

- By Mark Walker SPORT@SUNDAYPOST.COM

Progres Niederkor n’s 17- year- old goalscorin­g hero, Issah Bah, has warned Rangers the Luxembourg side are set to hand them another European nightmare.

Steven Gerrard’s side will come up against the club that handed them their worst- ever result in European football once more in the Europa League on Thursday.

Pedro Caixinha’s side infamously went down to a 2- 0 defeat in the return two years ago before the Portuguese manager retreated into a hedge to remonstrat­e with irate Rangers fans after the game.

Progres won the right to face the Light Blues in midweek by defeating Irish side Cork City 3-2 on aggregate, despite losing their home leg 2-1.

They were two goals down and heading into extra time before Equitorial Guinea kid, Bah, netted two minutes after coming on as a sub to send them through.

And he’s convinced history can repeat itself against the Scottish giants.

Bah said: “I cried when I scored the goal that took us through. It’s destiny. It was my first goal for the club.

“The manager said to me when I went on to go out there and make history – and within two minutes I’d managed to do that.

“My parents were in the stand to watch me, and when I saw them after the game, I couldn’t hold back the tears.

“For a club like ours to get through to the next round is an amazing achievemen­t, and we have our reward by playing Rangers.

“We have a great squad here and we are determined to go as far as we can in this competitio­n. There’s no club we fear”

And Bah has been tipped to make a big impact against the Ibrox side by Progres’ sports director, Thomas Gilgemann.

He said: “We took a chance by signing him, but he’s a kid who has such a big personalit­y, even at the age of 17, that he’s brightened up the squad.

“He is raw, but he has a huge amount of talent and will be a big player.”
