  1. Rangers repeat first-leg XI, Ramsey on the benchpublished at 18:55 British Summer Time 5 May 2022

    Rangers v RB Leipzig (0-1, 20:00)

    Rangers go with the same team that started the first leg and that means three changes from Sunday's 1-1 draw at Celtic Park.

    Ryan Jack, Glen Kamara and Scott Wright return, with Scott Arfield, Steven Davis and Fashion Sakala dropping back to the bench.

    Aaron Ramsey is fit enough for a place among the replacements but striker Kemar Roofe doesn't make it.

    Top scorer Alfredo Morelos has missed the last eight games with a thigh issue and will not feature again this season.

    Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst and his squad laid wreaths at Ibrox this afternoon in tribute to Jimmy Bell.

    The players took time out from their pre-match preparations to pay their respects to the long-serving kitman who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 69.

    There will be a minute's silence in Bell's honour before kick-off.

    Rangers v RB Leipzig (0-1, 20:00)

    It's not every day a Scottish team is one game away from a European final.

    Rangers are aiming to repeat their 2008 run as they take on RB Leipzig at Ibrox in the last four of the Europa League, with the big-spending Germans holding a one-goal lead from the first leg.

    Emotions were always going to be high with so much at stake and the home players and fans will be even more impassioned following the death of the club's legendary kitman Jimmy Bell.

    It promises to be a red hot night in Govan, so let's crack on with the team news and all the build up.
