    Rangers 1-0 Malmo (agg 2-2)

    Allan McGregor has just been booked for handling the ball outside his box. It was right on the line, almost impossible to tell.

    Malmo free kick right on the edge of Rangers' box.

    Rangers 1-0 Malmo (agg 2-2)

    I feel like every entry I type is about Alfredo Morelos, but he's just been that good.

    He again pops up in the right-hand channel, dummies a cross to cut inside, only for his shot to be blocked.

    Good news, Alfredo Morelos is back on his feet and cuts out a Malmo pass from Lasse Nielsen.

    The Swedish side can't get two seconds on the ball just now!

    Concern here for Rangers. Alfredo Morelos is down with what looks like a groin problem. He's been immense so far...

    Bulgarians Ludogorets have scored twice in 10 minutes at home to Olympiacos of Greece, making 2-1 on the night and 3-2 on aggregate.

    They're on course to face Rangers or Malmo...

    It's a great ball, an inswinger from Kent. Looks like it's come off Morelos' shoulder - he'll take that!

    It's been coming for the last 10 minutes. That's why Morelos is in the team, for his experience scoring in Europe

    GOAL - Rangers 1-0 Malmo (2-2 agg)published at 18 mins

    Alfredo Morelos

    Bedlam. Utter bedlam.

    Morelos has started on fire tonight, and it's the Colombian who sets Ibrox off. Ryan Kent cuts inside and isn't closed down, and he bends the ball to the back post, where Morelos is waiting to nod in.

    I think it's come off his back. Not that a single one of the 50,000 in Ibrox care about that!

    Rangers 0-0 Malmo (agg 1-2)

    Malmo are not just sticking 10 men behind the ball here, they're pressing fairly high.

    They force Connor Goldson into a sloppy pass, but Rangers recover their shape and eventually cut out a cross aimed for Colak.

    Up the other end, Alfredo Morelos uses his body well to draw a foul. Chance here...

    Rangers 0-0 Malmo (agg 1-2)

    A half chance for Rangers as Joe Aribo lunges to meet a cross from the left, but his connection isn't clean enough to test the goalkeeper.

    A brilliant challenge then halts Aribo's surge into the box. Rangers on top.

    Terrific from Alfredo Morelos again as he drops deep to pick up Steven Davis' pass and then pings it to Scott Wright.

    The forward should play in Ryan Kent immediately, but he takes too long and Malmo recover.

    It's been a bright start from Rangers. The tempo starts from Morelos chasing down the Malmo centre-backs

    Alfredo Morelos looks in the mood tonight. He peels out to the right, and another cross has to be swept clear.

    Then Borna Barisic almost finds Joe Aribo with a brilliant ball in behind, but to no avail this time.

    That's what you want from Morelos. You want him chasing down lost causes

    Rangers 0-0 Malmo (agg 1-2)

    The first Rangers attack is brought to life by Alfredo Morelos as he steals the ball on the by-line, before aiming a cross for Ryan Kent.

    It misses the former Liverpool man, and then Joe Aribo's shot from the edge of the area is deflected wide...

    Cue a massive roar.

    An early corner for Malmo is headed harmlessly over the crossbar. It's the visitors who have had most of the ball in the opening two minutes.

    Great noise from the stands.

    Rangers v Malmo (20:00) (1-2 agg)

    Malmo manager Jon Dahl Tomasson tells Premier Sports: "Rangers are back where they belong and with a sold out stadium - its going to be tough, but we're up for the challenge.

    "I'm happy to see the stadium full because football is for the fans. In Scotland the passion is great, but I have a lot of experienced players, we have a great team spirit. We know we're the underdogs and need to play to a high level."
