    You felt it was going to take something special to break this Rangers defence tonight. It's an absolute screamer and it dips down low beyond Allan McGregor.

    Angelino

    A corner is knocked clear to the edge of the box and Angelino thumps a cracking volley past Allan McGregor, with the ball skidding into the back of the net.

    Wonderful technique from the former Manchester City full-back.

    Allan McGregor gets fingertips to a rising shot from Tyler Adams.

    Either side of the keeper and he might have been in trouble...

    James Sands and Scott Arfield are on to beef up the Rangers midfield for the closing stages. Joe Aribo and Ryan Jack are the players withdrawn by Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

    Christopher Nkunku pulls away from Calvin Bassey to meet a looping cross from Angelino at the back post but the much-heralded striker can only send his close-range header wide.

    Ryan Jack goes for glory from a long way out and his shot sails high over the top.

    Ryan Kent cuts inside and has a lash at goal from distance. Plenty of power and curl on the shot but it sails straight into the arms of goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi.

    Now Domenico Tedesco changes things up for the hosts, bringing on Portuguese striker Andre Silva and experienced Sweden midfielder Emil Forsberg.

    Dani Olmo and Dominik Szoboszlai make way.

    That is an absolute sitter from Nkunku. He rounds Allan McGregor, he's eight yards out and all he has to do is side-foot it. He puts the laces through it and it flies over the bar.

    A huge let-off for Rangers!

    Christopher Nkunku races through the middle of the visiting defence and skips round the sprawling Allan McGregor but the striker is slightly off balance as he slams his shot high and wide of an empty net.

    Scott Wright has been quiet. In this second half he's moved out to a more familiar right wing position but hasn't made much of an impact. Fashion Sakala, with his pace and directness, now has a chance to. He's gone into the centre forward position with Aribo out on the right.

  12. Sakala on for Rangerspublished at 68 mins

    Rangers make the first change of the evening and Fashion Sakala is on to replace Scott Wright up front.

    The Zambia international is fast and direct. Can the visitors get him in behind?

    The home crowd are not happy...

    As Rangers have grown in confidence, Leipzig's composure has slid somewhat. A failed attack finds its way to Allan McGregor and whistles echo around the stadium. Every decision for Rangers is met with a similar response.

    What a contest we now have.

    Rangers have players flooding forward but Ryan Jack is guilty of a loose pass and suddenly the men in blue have to hit the reverse gear.

    Rangers are committing more men forward as Joe Aribo continues to throw his weight about to good effect in an unfamiliar striker's role.

    Leipzig have stepped up the tempo, with some slick interchanges near the Rangers penalty area.

    A lovely dummy from Dani Olmo sets up a one-two chance but Christopher Nkunku doesn't give him the pass and is eventually crowded out by a combination of Calvin Bassey and Ryan Jack.

    The game has livened up considerably as Christopher Nkunku hammers in a shot from the edge of the box. It's straight at Allan McGregor and the Rangers goalkeeper bats it away with both hands.

    RB Leipzig 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers come again and James Tavernier latches on to a headed knock-down from Joe Aribo. The captain gets plenty on the shot but it clips the head of a defender and flies over the top.

    Joe Aribo is in the middle for Rangers now and Scott Wright is on the right. Aribo's physicality was badly needed in that first half, it seems a savvy move.

    It's the first time Ryan Kent's had the opportunity to run at a defender in a one-on-one situation. That's their best attacking move so far and will give them a boost.
