  1. Not exactly 'white hot' but 'cosy enough'

    HT: Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer

    They've had a couple of good chances, Scott Arfield was very unlucky actually, and given up a couple of worrying moments down the other end. But it's 2-0, it's meandering towards a very comfortable Rangers progression. It's not exactly intense or white hot in terms of atmosphere or intensity. But it's comfortable.

  2. Hedges harbours Europa League dream

    Aberdeen v Chikhura Sachkhere (19:45)

    Winger Ryan Hedges says the prospect of European football was a factor in his decision to join Aberdeen.

    The 24-year-old, who joined the Dons from Barnsley in the summer, is gunning for a place in the Europa League.

    "You look at the history of this club, with Sir Alex Ferguson, and the team 11 years ago getting Bayern Munich in the round of 32," he said.

    "There's no reason why this group can't replicate that, get to the group stages and go from there."

    Aberdeen have failed to qualify for the group stages of the Uefa Cup - and latterly the Europa League - since the success of 2008.

  3. Rangers have 'demoralised' Progres

    It's been comfortable. They've kept possession, suffocated Progres a little bit and demoralised them. They were bright from the start and going to have a go, now they look demoralised and not at the races.

  4. HALF-TIME Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    Comfortable if largely uninspiring stuff from Rangers. Scott Arfield was denied by the woodwork but the visitors have struggled for a creative spark in front of goal.

    However, with a two-goal lead, Steven Gerrard's side are cruising into the next round.

  5. Progres

    Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers captain James Tavernier clears a dangerous Progres cross inside the six-yard box. The skipper is far from a happy camper but Progres can't profit from the corner and Rangers' two-goal lead remains intact.

  6. Better from 'clinical' Ibrox side

    Rangers have kept possession better, Progres are backing off a bit which suits them. But they're not just passing about and getting nowhere, they're being direct and being clinical and getting efforts on goal. It's been really good in the last 15 minutes of the half.

  7. Rangers in control

    Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    Four minutes plus any added time remaining of a largely quiet first half in the Stade Josy Barthel.

  8. Rangers seeking spark

    Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    Another Rangers attack fizzles out on account of a James Tavernier mistake. A rueful shake of the head by the skipper as Progres earn another reprieve.

  9. Rangers have 'got to grips' with game

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on Sportsound

    The last 10 minutes have been the way Rangers would've wanted the game to go, just that middle spell around the 20 minute mark I thought they were leaving too much space, giving away silly free kicks and inviting pressure and Progres were unlucky. But since they've gotten to grips, they've looked nice and tight, organised and hard to beat. Progres have maybe taken a breather and that suits Rangers who can just pop it about.

  10. GREAT SAVE!

    Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    Progress goalkeeper Sebastien Flauss, who looks like he's listened to Nirvana's entire back catalogue, gets down smartly to thwart a rasping Sheyi Ojo drive.

  11. Lull in Luxembourg

    Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    With Rangers in control, the onus is on the hosts to try to find a way back into this tie. As things stand, Steven Gerrard's side are coasting into the next round of Europa League qualifying.

  12. Rangers failing to fire on all cylinders

    Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    Borna Barisic, with a free-kick about 30 yards from goal, blazes a shot high over the bar.

    "Maybe he should've gone for the other side," muses BBC Scotland's Billy Dodds.

  13. Too much space for Progres

    Former Scotland striker on Sportsound

    Allan McGregor is comfortable dealing with long range shots, but Progres are finding too much space, defenders not being tight enough. It's worrying how the spaces are developing, giving them options.

  14. Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    Twenty minutes remaining of a first half that has yet to spark into life. Rangers have been patient in their attempts to break determined Progres resistance, with Scott Arfield's effort against the post the closest they've come to breaking the deadlock.

  15. Another warning from Progres

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on Sportsound

    That was a chance. Karayer gets into the box and if he gets a decent strike away he's going to cause Allan McGregor a lot of problems. Another little warning sign for Rangers as that was a clear chance, just mishit at the end but could've put them in bother.

  16. CLOSE!

    Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers spurn a great chance to break the deadlock following some patient passing on the right flank. The ball is fired into the feet of Nikola Katic but he sends an effort wide.

  17. CLOSE!

    Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    Suddenly, the hosts are beginning to find their sea legs. A dangerous cross into the box is steered wide by Françoise inside the Rangers penalty area.

  18. Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    For the first time this evening, Rangers look far from convincing in dealing with a Progres cross.

    The ball breaks to Progres skipper Karayer... but he blazes a shot high and wide of goal.

    Rangers keeper Allan McGregor roars at his defence in frustration.

  19. Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    Progres' sporadic attacks have been comfortably dealt with by Rangers as we await the opening goal in Luxembourg.

  20. Can Rangers capitalise?

    Progres Niederkorn 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers appear to be growing in confidence against opponents who have yet to seriously threaten Allan McGregor's goal.

    A Rangers away goal here could effectively kill the tie...
