  1. Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Former New Red Bulls and Miami midfielder Vincent Bezecourt is standing over the ball, but he wastes the opportunity with a free-kick straight into Rangers' defensive wall and the visitors breath again.

  2. YELLOW CARD Barisic (Rangers)

    Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Danger for Rangers as Nikita Tankov is brought down by Borna Barisic a couple of yards outside the visiting penalty box and the Croatia left-back earns a booking.

  3. Morelos 'slack'

    Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    What a ball from Nathan Patterson. That's a striker's dream. Just go and get your body over it and it's 1-0 and game over. Morelos has been slack at times tonight. He could've put this game to bed long ago

  4. 'Lazy' Morelos

    Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Derek Ferguson
    Former Rangers midfielder on Sportsound

    I think Morelos could have gone for that with his head. It looked a bit lazy to me. He just hung a leg out

  5. Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    How did he miss that one?

    Rangers' crosses from the full-backs have been pretty poor so far, but Nathan Patterson curls in a fine ball for Alfredo Morelos.

    The Colombia striker is unmarked 10 yards from goal but volleys well over with his left foot.

  6. 'Lack of concentration'

    Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Craig Levein
    Former Scotland manager on BBC Sportsound

    Alashkert have had more chances in the first 20 minutes of this half than they did in the whole of the first and that is purely down to the lack of concentration, particular among the Rangers defenders

  7. Itten for Hagi

    Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Rangers assistant Gary McAllister makes his first move, taking Ianis Hagi out of midfield and sending on striker Cedric Itten.

    The visitors are certainly needing something extra up front at the moment.

  8. 'Rangers sloppy in final third'

    Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    Rangers have been sloppy in the final third, they've been poor. For me, this is down to application levels. There's time in the game you want to make it easy for yourself. This isn't the way to do it

  9. Tankov for Glisic

    Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Alashkert right-back Tiago unleashes a long-range drive. It is a bit ambitious and it flies well wide, but that is another example of the growing feeling of hope among the 10 men.

    The home head coach sends on Russian striker Nikita Tankov for tiring Bosnian Aleksandar Glisic.

  10. 'Alashkert growing in belief'

    Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    Alashkert are gaining momentum and belief. It's good solid goalkeeping from McCrorie after a good break from Alashkert

  11. Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    First shot on target and the 10 men of Alashkert are suddenly looking the more dangerous.

    Having failed to connect with that chance moments earlier, Jose Embalo lopes forward and unleashes a 25-yard drive that is held by goalkeeper Robby McCrorie.

    First shot on target for the home side, but that's a warning.

  12. 'Gerrard won't be sitting comfortably'

    Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    The manager will not be sitting comfortably watching this. If you play at such a low level it doesn't matter who you play against. Teams will fashion chances and that should've been a goal again. Embalo should've made connection

  13. Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Alashkert are certainly not out of this and striker Jose Embalo is so close to finding a touch to a low cross delivered into the Rangers penalty box, the Portuguese having found himself clear of marker Filip Helander.

  14. 'Really good opportunity'

    Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    It's a great stand up to the back post. Hagi is favourite for that, but he can't get the leverage he requires. A really good opportunity

  15. Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    A similar chance at the other end now, but the marking is better on Ianis Hagi and the Rangers midfielder is under pressure as he heads wide from eight yards.

  16. 'Brilliant chance'

    Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    That's a brilliant chance. Barisic has to defend the back post. Glisic should probably score or hit the target at least

  17. Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Alashkert have made a change at half time and French midfielder Vincent Bezecourt, who came on for Rumyan Hovsepyan, finds Aleksandar Glisic lurking at the back post having evaded the attentions of Borna Barisic, but the Bosnian striker gets under theball and the header loops well over from five yards out.

  18. Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    The pattern continues from the first half and Nathan Patterson's cross is just too high for the diving Ianis Hagi inside the home penalty box.

  19. KICK-OFF SECOND HALF

    Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Alashkert have to break a sequence of having scored in one game in their last six - and none in their last three - if they are to deny Rangers a place in the Europa League group stage for a fourth season running.

    They are also down to 10 men and a goal behind. Rangers should still have enough despite their Covid problems - surely?

  20. 'Rangers don't need dramatic game'

    Alashkert 0-0 Rangers (agg 0-1)

    Derek McInnes
    Former Aberdeen & St Johnstone manager on BBC Scotland

    Rangers can step their levels up. I don't know Alashkert have enough threat in them. Rangers don't need it to be a dramatic game. It's Alashkert that have lost their composure
