GOAL Maribor have taken the lead, a daft back hill from Velikonja. Mezga does well down the right, nut megs Broadfoot, drills his cross into Velikonja, he neatly beats McGregor. But it was really poor defending from Rangers as they shoot themselves in the foot.
90'
Mejac comes forward from the back for Maribor, and looks to try his luck, but his shot goes well over.
88'
Cvijanovic has a shot but will not threaten McGregor
86'
Final change for Maribor, Milec on for goalscorer Ibraimi
84'
Mculloch concedes a freekcik with 6 minutes to go. Chance for Maribor to put the ball into the box, but Viler wastes the opportunity as he goes for goal himself, and his shot is woeful and goes well wide.
82'
Davis has a speculative volley, from 30 yards but goes well over. Dissapointing as Davis normally hits the target from there
81'
Lafferty becomes the fourth player to be booked tonight, as his studs were showing in his attempt to tackle
80'
His foul, coming as he stops a driving run from Davis, who has been quite in the second half McCulloch goes for glory from all of 45 yards, and gets a corner out of his ambitous attempt. Nothing comes from the resulting corner.
79'
Arghus picks up a yellow card, which has long been coming
78'
Second sub for Maribor, Velikonja on for Volas
77'
Broadfoot looks to find Jelavic in the box, but his shot is weak and comfortably picked up by the keeper.
76'
The last 5 minutes Maribor beginning to stamp their authority on the game.
74'
Approaching final 15 minutes both sides, are looking for a winner, is it going to come....
71'
Maribor win a free kick, on the edge of the area once again, a decent opportunity for the home side. Once again Mezga goes agonisingly close, as the balls goes wide of the post
70'
Ibraimi in a great postion with the volley, but miss kicks his attempt,as he watches it go wide. However MAribor are now creating more chances
69'
Jelavic and Lafferty showing good link up play, but just lack the final touch and ability
67'
Substitution for Maribor, Cvijanovic on for Filipovic
65'
With 25 minutes to go Rangers are looking dangerous, and now are by far the better side. But Maribor get the ball up to Ibraimi on the left, who puts across into the box, and this tie Volas puts his header helplessly over. Trouble for Rangers as the new centre pack pairings, didn't know where each other were.
63'
Chances are coming more often now, ORtiz finds to find LAfferty in the box, finds Jelavic instead who wins a corner for Rangers. Davis with a deep corner and is punched away from Hananovic in goal. Broadfoot long deep throw causes trouble in the box, Jelavic is offside, but his shot goes wide anyway.
