Rangers are 1-0 down in the tie, following a unstoppable strike from wing back Angelino at the Red Bull Arena in the first leg.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men defended well during the match, limiting the German side to a few chances, and almost came away with a 0-0 draw - a big advantage going into the second leg at home.

But, on the 85th minute, Angelino responded first to a headed clearance from a corner, catching the ball first time on the edge of the D and striking in into the bottom left corner, out of Allan McGregor’s reach.

It gives RB Leipzig a slender advantage heading to Ibrox, although the hosts will be confident of turning the tie around, having come back against Braga in the quarter finals after suffering the same result in the first leg and then winning the tie in Govan.
