Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Rangers and Sporting Lisbon's Europa League last-32 first leg at Ibrox, kick-off at 8.05pm both UK and Portuguese time.

There you have it - a 1-1 draw, super entertainment but Rangers should have won and won comfortably.

Diouf plays Lafferty in again and he is through but again he fires straight at Lafferty! He doesn't get on to the loose ball but picks it up on the right only to lose control. The home fans groan. If he knew how to score a goal they'd be out of sight.

Mendes gives away a free-kick deep in the Rangers half.

Lafferty gets inside the centre halves and he's in but Patricio bats away his finish and he flies in with a header but saved by the keeper! Too close to him.

Well that is criminal - and Rangers had been brilliant this second half. To let one of the smallest men on the pitch get a free-header late on...

GOAL SPORTING! The sub Fernandez with a crisp header into the bottom left after some super passing that put Saleiro in down the right. Too much space for the little fella, but a good header.

Rangers have a free-kick, Davis caught by Mendes. Slow it down now chaps...

Carrico brings it forward - he will be banned for the next leg. Saleiro has it but cleared by Papac. Sporting pressing for a late leveller.

SPORTING SUB: Solomao on for Postiga.

Rangers seem to be tiring after that super intense half hour. They need to make sure they don't muck this up now.

Lafferty has ben booked, I think, for verbals.

Fernandez flicks it on for MENDES and McGregor fumbles it but Postiga is offside! Lucky escape!!

SPORTING SUB: Fernandez comes on for Maniche.

Nervy play at the back from Sporting as eventually it goes back to Davis.

Weiss is closed down on the left wing and Djalo races away. He tries to shoot from 35 yards though and sends it high, wide and anything but handsome.

Diouf gets up to support a very advanced Bougherra striding forward, and the former wins a throw.

SPORTING SUB: Saleiro on for Cristiano.

Hmmm. Weiss races down the left and - in my view - is incorrectly adjudged to have run the ball out. He was too quick for the lino. He plays on despite the whistle and is booked.

It breathes! Some pressure for the visitors but it comes to nothing as Cristiano can't get the shot away.

Diouf finds Whittaker whose cross is too close to Patricio, but the keeper fumbles it only to survive with no blue shirts around him!
