WHAT A MOMENT FOR RANGERS
And what an excellent spot-kick from Tavenier, who scored his 10th European goal for the club in some style.

BIG SAVE FROM MCGREGOR!
Bellingham tees up Brandt who gets plenty of power in his shot but it's straight down the middle and McGregor pushes it clear.

IBROX IS ABSOLUTELY BOUNCING
It was loud before, but now... wow. What an atmosphere! The first goal tonight was always going to be crucial and Rangers have grabbed it. This could completely kill Dortmund's spirit.

Tavernier steps up, Kobel dives to his left and the Rangers captain slots the ball right down the middle.
A superb penalty!

PENALTY TO RANGERS!
Kent is tripped at the top of the box and it's a simple decision for the referee as he points to the spot!
18'
WIDE!
A snapshot from Bellingham fails to trouble McGregor in the Rangers goal. Van Bronckhorst insisted his side wouldn't sit back to protect their lead but in this instance their defence didn't get out quickly enough after successfully defending a corner.
17'
SHOT DEFLECTED BEHIND
Dortmund are beginning to exert pressure as Hazard picks up a pocket of space and wins a corner with a deflected shot. Lundstrum wins the header at the near post to clear the resulting set-piece.
16'
NO PENALTY!
Lundstrum sticks out an arm across the chest of Meunier, who throws himself to ground inside the Rangers penalty area. Dortmund's appeals for a penalty are half-hearted and the referee isn't interested.
15'
GOOD FOOTBALL FROM THE HOSTS
Rangers build out from the back with patient possession, spreading it out wide to Tavernier. However, he takes a heavy touch and Schulz nips in to stop him in his tracks.

OFFSIDE
Morelos looks level with the defence as he latches onto a chipped ball over the top but the offside flag goes up

FOUL
Meunier is fortunate not to receive a yellow card for a foul on Kent. The Rangers supporters certainly make their feelings known to the referee as he keeps his cards in his pocket.

A MISTAKE BY RANGERS AS ...
Tavernier is robbed by Reus but his attempted pass is intercepted by Jack in a scrappy passage of play.

BELLINGHAM DENIED BY THE POST!
The corner delivery isn't dealt with and Bellingham comes out of nowhere and gets something on the ball. Ibrox stands still for a moment as the ball hits the post!
4'
DORTMUND WIN A CORNER
Schulz controls Dahoud's diagonal ball and forces a corner as his cross is blocked by Tavernier.
3'
RANGERS START ON THE FRONT FOOT
The hosts win an early free-kick. Tavernier whips in a great ball, it's slightly behind Morelos and he can't keep his header down.

Rangers get the ball moving!
There's a terrific atmosphere, as you would expect and Ibrox is filled to capacity with around 3,000 travelling supporters in attendance.

FIVE MINUTES UNTIL KICK-OFF!
It's Rangers versus Dortmund in the Europa League playoff. After the first leg ended 4-2 to the Scottish giants, tonight's visitors to Ibrox have it all to do.
Strap yourself in, this is going to be a great game!

PRE-MATCH STAT
Dortmund have lost four of their seven away matches against Scottish sides in European competition (W2 D1), although this is their first visit since November 1999 in the UEFA Cup, a 2-0 defeat to Rangers. Their two wins have come against Celtic (1992, UEFA Cup) and Motherwell (1994, UEFA Cup).

CELTIC ARE OUT OF THE EUROPA CONFERENCE LEAGUE
Fans of Rangers will take great delight!

LAST TIME OUT...
Dortmund bounced back in emphatic fashion as they kept their Bundesliga title hopes alive.
