    Rangers 0-1 Braga

    Another silly piece of petulance from Alfredo Morelos, complaining vigorously after conceding a foul, earns the striker a booking that rules him out of the return leg in Portugal next week.

    Yet more promise for Rangers as Ianis Hagi's fine chip over the visiting defence finds Alfredo Morelos.

    Rangers don't want to panic. It's way too early in the match for that. The last thing you're wanting to do is break shape. There's plenty of time to get back into the game

    Braga have a chance to go further ahead as Francisco Trincao sends a dangerous inswinging cross towards the head of Joao Palhinha, but Braga's top scorer can only head over the crossbar.

    Cries for a penalty as Ianis Hagi goes down under a challenge from the goalkeeper, but it looks like a bit of a dive from the man on loan from Genk.

    Braga have made a confident start and show that by taking a deserved early lead.

    Rangers lose possession in midfield and captain Fransergio sends a wicked 22-yard drive past Allan McGregor and under the crossbar.

    I don't know how it's not 1-0 to Braga. I can't believe how that header has been missed. It's a dream chance. You can't give away cheap free-kicks

    Rangers are equally close on the counter-attack.

    Alfredo Morelos charges down the wing and the striker's low cross just evades the toe of Ryan Kent sliding in 12 yards from goal.

    It should be 1-0 for Braga as the visitors go close twice in the opening minutes.

    After Allan McGregor makes a good point-blank save from a Raul Silva header, a low drive from Francisco Trincao goes flashing past the far post.

    Rangers need to try and get in their faces, but they need to make sure they're switched on at the back. They need to take something over to Braga, but they've got to do it in the right manner and make sure they are focused when they are on the attack

    Rangers v Braga (20:00)

    Braga make three changes from the side that stunned Benfica 1-0 in Lisbon at the weekend.

    In comes defender Bruno Viana and attackers Abel Ruiz and Francisco Trincao.

    Making way are 20-year-old defender David Carmo as well as Galeno and Ricardo Horta.

    We told you earlier that Borna Barisic is fit enough to replace Andy Halliday at left-back, while Glen Kamara comes in for the suspended Ryan Jack.
