    It looks like Ryan Jack is struggling.

    Can the Rangers midfielder shake off whatever is ailing him?

    James Tavernier swings in a corner and Connor Goldson is up highest - but maybe a bit too early. Rangers quickly get the ball back into the danger zone and Fashion Sakala glances a header wide.

    Kevin Kampl hangs out a lazy leg to upend Scott Wright. The ref thinks about it for a second then reaches for his card.

    Another excellent challenge from James Tavernier sets up the chance of a Rangers counter-attack but Glen Kamara's lofted pass can't quite clear the last defender, with Fashion Sakala haring into wide open space behind.

    Does Fashion Sakala take over through the middle now Joe Aribo is off?

    The Zambian equalised at Celtic Park on Sunday after switching from the wing to a central role in the second half and went so close to a winner with a shot that cannoned off the post.

    He could play wide right, with Scott Wright moving inside.

    We'll find out soon enough.

    Leipzig have to come out now and Rangers have three flying machines on the counter with Kent, Wright and Sakala. It's set up for them in the second half.

  9. Tavernier & Kamara strike for Rangerspublished at 20:57 British Summer Time 5 May 2022

    HT: Rangers 2-0 RB Leipzig (2-1)

    Rangers skipper James Tavernier opened the scoring from close range, arriving at the back post to meet a fierce, driven effort from Ryan Kent.

    Glen Kamara doubled the lead with a sweet strike from 18 yards to nudge the Ibrox men ahead on aggregate.

    Joe Aribo, forced off with a head injury just before the half-time whistle, then had a great chance to make it 3-0 but couldn't connect properly in front of goal.

    RB Leipzig don't know what's hit them...

    It's been a brilliant performance from Rangers, absolutely brilliant. They've rattled Leipzig, who have created pretty much nothing. Van Bronckhorst's side have really shown up.

    Another almighty roar from the Ibrox stands as the half-time whistle sounds.

    Stretcher bearers are waved away as Joe Aribo slowly gets back to his feet but he looks very groggy as he is led off the pitch.

    Fashion Sakala is coming on.

  13. ouch!

    Ouch!published at 44 mins

    A huge roar of relief from the home fans as Angelino's free-kick clatters into the defensive wall.

    Joe Aribo needs some attention after taking the ball flush in the face.

  14. YELLOW CARDpublished at 43 mins

    Borna Barisic is the third Rangers defender to be booked as he lunges in at the edge of the box.

    Free-kick in a dangerous spot...

    The visitors are pushing hard as half-time approaches and Borna Barisic needs to look lively to clear up inside the penalty box.

    Rangers 2-0 RB Leipzig (2-1)

    Connor Goldson is penalised for a challenge on the left of the Rangers penalty area and from the free-kick Willi Orban powers a back-post header just wide.

    A warning for Rangers.

    Ryan Kent is sent sprawling by Kevin Kampl and the Rangers players crowd the referee asking why no yellow card.

    Rangers cannot believe how many chances they are creating. But both their centre-backs are on yellow cards now which makes it tough.

  19. YELLOW CARDSpublished at 31 mins

    Rangers 2-0 RB Leipzig (2-1)

    Rangers centre-half Connor Goldson is booked for wiping out Yussuf Poulsen.

    Calvin Bassey was cautioned a few minutes earlier.

    Those two need to be careful now.

    What do Rangers do now? They can put this game to bed. Leipzig look shell-shocked.
