88'
I THINK BOTH SIDES WOULD TAKE A BREATHER HERE
And shake hands on another half-hour. They are bushed, and revving themselves up to go again.
87'
TAVERNIER HAS BEEN VERY QUIET TODAY
I guess he's got Kostic to think about, but he's one of Rangers' major goal-threats and the leading scorer in the competition. I wonder if they might get him further forward in extra time.

HERE COME RANGERS AGAIN!
Kamara slides a reverse-pass in behind for Sakala, who shoots from a tight angle ... and the ball deflects off Toure ... who absorbs all the venom, and Trapp makes the save.
84'
THIS IS MORE LIKE THE FIRST HALF OF THE FIRST HALF NOW
Rangers can't get hold of the ball, though they do eventually hump it forward and Sakala has a run on Hasebe ... who challenges well.
82'
I'M SURPRISED WE'VE NOT SEEN RAMSAY OR ROOFE
Rangers need a goal, and if they're on the bench, why not use them? That said, evidence suggests Van Bronckhorst has a better football brain than me, so.
79'
KOSTIC WEIGHS UP A FREE-KICK FROM 35 YARDS OUT
Swinging in a nasty ball into the corridor of uncertainty. McGregor isn't taking any chances, so he tips it over, for a corner that comes to nothing.
78'
EINTRACHT ARE IN THE ASCENDANCY NOW
But as I type that, Sakala is too quick for Hasebe, who falls. He gets a free-kick, but he knows that if he's in a race with his man, he's losing.
77'
FRANKFURT SWARM FORWARD
Rode driving into the box and touching off square to Hauge, who opens his body to curl one ... and does, but high and wide.

A double-change for Rangers, Davis and Sakala replacing Jack and Wright.

KAMADA STRIDES PAST WRIGHT
So Wright has a nibble, then a yank, and is booked.

HAUGE REPLACES LINDSTROM
Will Van Bronckhorst respond?

IT'S WATER-BREAK TIME

GOAL! Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 Rangers (Borre) This is such a simple goal. Kostic bends in a low cross - perhaps Wright should stop him - and Borre gambles, darting near post. He's too quick for Bassey, who can't catch him, and Goldson, thinking his mate has it covered, doesn't defend the ball either, allowing a finish to be guided by McGregor. We got ourselves a ball-game!
69'
THIS HAS BEEN A MUCH BETTER HALF
But excuse me while i interrupt myself!

BUT NOW GOLDSON GIVES IT AWAY, AND RODE IS ONTO IT
Curving a luscious ball over the top with the outside of his right boot, Kamada latching onto it down the right side of the box! This is a chance, but the bouncing ball makes it a little harder, and he flights his chip over McGregor but also over the bar.
67'
SUCCESSIVE NAILS CHALLENGES FROM GOLDSON
Who slides in on Borre then Lindsrom. Excellent defending.
66'
TELL YOU WHAT
If Arsenal were going to appoint an alright ex-midfielder with almost no experience as their manager, they probably picked the wrong one.
65'
WHAT DO RANGERS DO NOW?
They won't want to give away their advantage, but they can't invite too much pressure either. I wonder if they might replace Wright with Roofe, so they've another target to hit when trying to keep the ball down the Frankfurt end.

THERE'S A BRIEF STOPPAGE
Because Toure has hurt his head, but he's fine now. Aribo, involved in the challenge that did the damage, is booked.

I MEANT TO SAY
After the goal, Hasebe replaced Tuta, who must've hurt himself falling while giving a way a goal. It never rains...

FRANKFURT COME BACK IMMEDIATELY
Knauff doing brilliantly to divert a long ball back into the middle, stretching at the by-line. And Lindstrom marches onto it! He's going to score! But his punched sidefooter is too close to Bassey, who does amazingly to block with his chest. Frankfurt want a penalty, but it's brilliant defending.
