    We could tell a goal was coming in the first-half. It's the same in the second, albeit a lucky penalty decision. But it's been nothing but Union pressure. Rangers haven't done anything.

    Scott Wright manages to skip into the box but he is denied but a superb last-ditch challenge.

    Positive stuff from the substitute. Needs to be more of that.

    Does McLaughlin have that match-saving save in him? Yes, he does. At 3-0, the tie is over. He stays big a long, long time and saves well with his feet. Rangers have been like that all night - slack in possession, wide open in defence.

    Union SG 2-0 Rangers

    Jon McLaughlin keeps Rangers in the tie.

    Connor Goldson gives the ball away terribly and Vanzeir is through to add a third, but McLaughlin gets out to make a vital stop.

    How can he book Goldson for that? I'm not sure what Goldson is meant to do with his arm there. That, for me, is a ridiculous penalty decision. It's a nonsense.

    Rangers have HUGE job on their hands now.

    Scott Wright and Tom Lawrence are on for Rabbi Matondo and Malik Tillman.

    GOAL! Union SG 2-0 Rangerspublished at 76 mins

    Dante Vanzeir (pen)

    Cool as you like.

    Vanzeir slots the penalty low to the right. Jon McLaughlin dives the wrong way.

  9. PENALTY to Union SG!published at 75 mins

    Union SG 1-0 Rangers

    It's incredibly harsh on Connor Goldson.

    The ball ricochets off Ben Davies then just hits Goldson's hand. Penalty given.

  10. VAR checkpublished at 72 mins

    Union SG 1-0 Rangers

    There looks to have been a handball during that attack and the referee is over at the screen...

  11. GREAT SAVE!published at 70 mins

    Union SG 1-0 Rangers

    Union are still coming though as Rangers survive a massive scare.

    Adingra forces Jon McLaughlin into a smart stop at his near post before the Rangers keeper needs to get up high to deny Vanzeir.

  12. CLOSE!published at 68 mins

    Far, far, far better from Rangers.

    Really nice interplay sees Antonio Colak race to the byeline and drill in a dangerous ball which is diverted behind.

    The resulting corner comes to nothing but it's more encouraging from the away side.

  13. Yilmaz and Davies on for debutspublished at 66 mins

    Union SG 1-0 Rangers

    Double change from the Rangers bench as Ridvan Yilmaz and Ben Davies are on for their debuts.

    Off go Borna Barisic and Ryan Jack. That should see John Lundstram move into midfield.

    Giovanni van Bronckhorst is demanding more urgency from his players as Malik Tillman's cross is dealt with by the Union backline.

    Hard to see where a spark is going to come from at the moment...

    Lazare Amani of Union Saint-Gilloise is a player.

  16. CLOSE!published at 59 mins

    Union SG 1-0 Rangers

    Union are starting to pose a threat in this second half as a strike whistles past Jon McLaughlin's near post.

    It's all coming from Rangers losing the ball cheaply. They are so far off the pace at the minute.

    Rangers are just trying to force things. Let's be honest, this is a good result. If they can get back to Ibrox at 1-0, this is a good result. But if they don't change anything, Union might score again.

    Up the other end, Union work an attack brilliantly, resulting in Adingra getting on the end of a cross.

    The ball is just a tad too high for the forward, though, who heads over from close range.

    Rangers just can't build any attacks.

    So many hopeful long passes from the back are going nowhere. Giovanni van Bronckhorst will surely change something soon.

    Goalscorer Teuma is down holding his face after an accidental flick of the hand from Glen Kamara.

    Absolutely nothing in it.
