Europa League live updates: Rangers vs Dortmund

Dortmund bounced back in emphatic fashion as they kept their Bundesliga title hopes alive.

In the UEFA Europa League (since 2009-10), only one side has ever won the first leg of a knockout tie by 2+ goals away from home and then not gone on to qualify: Real Betis vs Sevilla in 2013-14 (won 2-0 first leg, lost 2-0 second leg, lost on pens).

“The situation is clear and we need to score two goals," said the Dortmund boss.

“We know that but we are trying not to think too much about it.

“We know we have to keep the balance between attacking and defending but we need to score two goals so of course we need to attack."

Are Rangers tempted to sit back and defend their lead? Their manager insists not...

"Sitting deep? You get in positions in moments in games where you have to," he said.

“But what we did last week is also at the right time we pressed them a little bit higher and tried to win the ball and be dangerous. But to begin the game and sit deep? I don’t think that’s in our system. We have to avoid it.

“I can believe we can pass this round, which is the most important thing. We had a great performance last week and we are all happy with the game we played. We also know it’s only halfway.

“Tomorrow we are going to face a very good team, a very strong team in Europe and we have to be ready to overcome them.

“We are in a good position to play the second game, but I think our focus tomorrow will be to play as strong as possible and try to win the game. That is our intention for tomorrow.”

Rangers supporters will never tire of watching this but it won't count for much if they fail to see this tie through.
