Every word James Tavernier said to BT Sport after the win over Braga sent his side into the semi-finals of the Europa League.

Sum up your emotions?

I'm tired but it's a special night for the lads, the club and the fans. Seeing how much it meant to everyone at the final whistle as we are going around the pitch. It's a really special night and every one of them in the dressing room should be proud of themselves in taking the team to the semi-final.

How deep did you have to dig when that Braga goal went in?

It's something you don't want to do, going into extra time, but we did. The boys dug deep to see it over the line. Kemar deserved a goal tonight, he was outstanding. Two offside goals and he got the penalty for myself. We had some nervy moments and maybe we gave the ball away cheaply, including myself but in the last five minutes, we kept the ball against the nine men. Scotty Arfield could have got two. That doesn't matter because we are through to the semi-final and everyone can be proud.

What was that moment like when you scored the first goal?

I found myself at the back post and my thought was to try and get it on target. I was watching the Leicester game before and saw a PSV player take a shot from a similar position. I thought he could have slid and had a shot. My idea was to slide and get it on target. That gave us a good start.

You were the calmest man in Ibrox standing over that penalty!

It was another long one. I had to wait. I had to keep cool, calm and collected and make sure it goes in the back of the net.  I'm here to help the team with goals if I can and I'm just happy it goes in the back of the net and Kemar came up with the winner. I'm delighted.

What's the difference on a Thursday night in Europe?

The teams that you are playing. The teams want to come out and play. They had good transition moments, they have good players and if we get the ball back off them quickly enough then we can find ourselves in good spaces. I thought we did well getting balls into the box and everyone rises to it. We have a really important game now at the weekend so we have to rest up and be fully focused for that. 

And Leipzig in the next round?

It will be another tough game but we always fancy ourselves and we will go there and give it our all. That's what we want, the fans want and what we will do.
