  1. GOAL! Malmo 2-0 Rangers

    Veljko Birmancevic

    Rangers captain James Tavernier surrenders the ball in his own half with a slack pass to Steven Davis and some more calamitous defending gives Veljko Birmancevic a glimpse at goal.

    That's all he needs as the Malmo forward rolls a composed finish past Allan McGregor in off the base of the post.

  2. GOAL! Malmo 1-0 Rangers

    Soren Rieks

    Malmo have come flying out of the traps and Rangers are all over the place as Veljko Birmancevic stands up a cross to find Soren Rieks all alone in the penalty area and the full-back thumps in an impressive volley.

  3. KICK-OFF

    Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    And away we go for the second half in Sweden.

  4. 'Itten needs a hand'

    HT: Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Chris Burke
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Radio Scotland

    Itten's a little bit isolated. Hagi can create magic, might he come on for Wright? You've got Sakala as well, he's got sheer pace and this might be a game for him

  5. Is Lundstram up to speed?

    HT: Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Richard Foster
    Former Rangers defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    I don't think Lundstram looks fit. He seems to be struggling to match the rotation of Malmo

  6. Is Kent the key for Rangers?

    HT: Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Ryan Kent has threatened to get going a couple of times and it's taken some last-gasp tackles to stop the Rangers winger.

    They'll want to get him on the ball more in the second half.

  7. 'Couple of gears to go for Rangers'

    HT: Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Richard Foster
    Former Rangers defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    They haven't been cut open. On the break they have looked more dangerous. Overall, it's been an okay performance. We watched Rangers enough last season to know they've got a couple of gears to go through

  8. HALF-TIME Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    All square at the break. Rangers look the more menacing side in a game of few opportunities.

  9. YELLOW CARD - Itten (Rangers)

    Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Cedric Itten catches his man as he tries to recover from a clumsy touch.

  10. 'Extra touch costs Kent'

    Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Richard Foster
    Former Rangers defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    Tavernier does so well, it's a great pick-out. Kent's got half a yard but when he takes an extra touch it lets the Malmo defenders get around him. He's got to try and get the shot away when he's got half a yard

  11. Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    James Tavernier makes a great defensive interception then gallops forward to set up a shooting chance for Ryan Kent. The Rangers winger shifts the ball away from his marker but in comes another Malmo defender to make a great sliding tackle.

  12. 'Recovery terrific'

    Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Chris Burke
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Radio Scotland

    The recovery from both teams is terrific. When either team loses the ball they look to get it back quickly

  13. YELLOW CARD - Barisic (Rangers)

    Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers are thin at the back as Borna Barisic over-hits a free-kick with all the big men up. The Malmo keeper quickly thumps the ball long and the Croatia full-back has to pull back Antonio Colak, who is threatening to break away.

  14. Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Scott Wright bursts into the penalty area from the left and his low cross is cut out and scrambled clear. Rangers are upping the pressure now.

  15. 'Brilliant from Kent'

    Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Richard Foster
    Former Rangers defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    That's brilliant from Kent to take the ball out the sky like he did but it's a very good tackle. If Kent gets into the box he gets a shot away

  16. Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    A lovely touch as Ryan Kent gathers a dropping ball in his stride and jets away from a cluster of defenders. He can't quite get a shot off though and Malmo recover.

  17. Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Malmo forward Antonio Colak is in behind the Rangers defence near the byline but he can't get past Connor Goldson, who steps in to make a decisive block.

  18. 'Barisic straying too often'

    Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Chris Burke
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Radio Scotland

    Rangers need to be wary about Barisic getting sucked out of position. It's happened a few times

  19. Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Malmo fizz a few first-time passes around near the Rangers penalty area and Bonke Innocent decides to have a crack. The shot is way off target but spins off the shins of James Tavernier for a corner.

    Rangers repel the set-piece without much fuss.

  20. Malmo 0-0 Rangers

    Ryan Kent, perhaps riled that he didn't get a free kick there, motors away from his man to swing in a good cross from the left. Scott Wright is in the middle but loses his footing just as the ball comes his way and it sails over him.
