Sakala on for Morelospublished at 70 mins
Rangers 2-0 Brondby
And that will be that for Mr Morelos.
Fashion Sakala skips on to replace the striker, who is going to have to wait for his 100th club goal.

The game is pretty flat as Brondby huff and puff without much conviction.
Alfredo Morelos gets a glimpse at goal and has a go from 25 yards, with the goalie getting down to save without much fuss.
Bassey on for Balogunpublished at 64 mins
Rangers 2-0 Brondby
Concern for Rangers as Leon Balogun goes off. Calvin Bassey is off the bench and will slot in beside Connor Goldson in central defence.

A weird one. Joe Aribo was clearly clipped by an outstretched foot.

Rangers do look a little cold at the moment as Alfredo Morelos pings a stray pass out of play in his own half.

A dreadful pass from Borna Barisic sets up Mikael Uhre for a golden chance. The Brondby forward is one-on-one with goalkeeper Allan McGregor but fires wide.

Joe Aribo has enjoyed an impressive first half, registering more touches (61), opposition half passes (32) and possession gains (9) than anyone on the pitch.
The Rangers man also had the referee scrambling at one point...

HALF-TIME Rangers 2-0 Brondbypublished at 45+1 mins
Rangers are well on their way to a first victory in Europa League Group A.
Leon Balogun thumped in a header from a corner and Kemar Roofe tapped in when everyone thought he was offside, only for the VAR officials to intercede and set the record straight.
The Ibrox side are good value for their lead.

James Tavernier swings in a free-kick from the left and a stretching Kemar Roofe is not far away from getting a touch as the ball skids through to the keeper.
