Tino Costa decides he wants to have a dig from 30 yards. Doesn't get hold of it and the ball trickles wide. Rangers yet to be seen in attack.
14'
The white shirts continue to surge forward. Good strong play by Davis to close down Topal in the midfield. Really strong hustling.
13'
Pablo Hernandez chips a ball wide, but Foster gets back to nod the ball out. This is his first start for Rangers this evening.
12'
Pablo Hernandez smashes a shot well over the bar from 25 yards. Lovely play there by Valencia in breaking through the middle.

Valencia with an incredible 72% of possession. Rangers can't get out.
10'
Weir mistimes his tackle on Aduriz and Valencia have a free-kick, but nothing doing.
9'
Some decent play by Papac and Weiss ends with Weiss being fouled by Bruno. Free-kick to Rangers.
8'
With five wins and a draw from seven matches, Valencia are four points better off than they were at the same stage last term in La Liga. The return leg of this match is at the Mestalla in a fortnight's time.
7'
Weir not convincing with a header out and Mathieu knocks a volley wide. Must do better than that. Could have been punished there.

Remember, Rangers are unbeaten this season, winning ten and drawing one. The draw came in a 0-0 outcome against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Dominguez fouls Whittaker and Rangers have a free-kick. Rain not falling at the moment on what is a freezing night in Glasgow.
4'
Navarro heads back to Cesar Sanchez, but a bit short and the Valencia keeper raced out to hoof the ball clear before McGregor does likewise seconds later.
3'
Aduriz chips the ball into the box, but nobody read his run and that is an easy enough take for McGregor. You can see why Rangers have set up defensively. Valencia dominating possession.
2'
Valencia immediately on the attack. Pablo Hernandez fires in a shot. Easy take for McGregor from the edge of the box.

Players are making their way on to the pitch. A big night for both of these side. Can Rangers maintain this stunning start to the Champions League? Let us find out.
19.35
Rangers' win over Bursaspor was their first win in the Champions League in 12 attempts. They suffered a 4-1 loss to Sevilla last season and have never defeated a Spanish side in the Champions League. Would be a good time to start this evening.
19.30
Valencia are in good form. Barcelona came from behind to inflict Valencia's first Liga defeat since May 8 when they lost 2-0 at Villarreal. The Spanish side's defeat to Manchester United on matchday two was their 50th in UEFA competition.
19.25
Ally McCoist has confirmed Rangers are not going to be overly adventurous. "We will go with the same formation as we did in previous Champions League games and we hope that the two wide boys, Foster and Whittaker, will be pushing further forward than they did at Old Trafford, just as they did against Bursaspor. That was they key against Bursaspor."
19.20
Rangers are set to stick with the 5-4-1 formation that has brought them four points from the opening two games. Kyle Lafferty is poised to play as the lone striker up front.
19.15
Rangers defender Kirk Broadfoot failed a fitness test and Ricky Foster comes in. Allan McGregor replaces Neil Alexander in goal while Juan Mata returns for Valencia.
