Rangers 0-0 Athletic Club: UEFA Europa League result as Liam Kelly penalty save earns 10-man Rangers crucial draw

Propper shown 'really harsh' red on VAR review as Rangers reduced to 10

They are having so much of the ball, which might suit Rangers in a way, but with the Williams brothers floating from wing to wing, it does look like a matter of time before they unpick that lock

Rangers, with their ten men, are not having much of the ball, but it feels like they have a little bit more control compared to shortly after the sending off, when Bilbao looked very threatening

A poor tackle by Bilbao's Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta on Hagi earns him a yellow card, while Barry Ferguson gets cautioned for his reaction.

Perhaps the Bilbao player should do better with a shot at the back post. He's picked out, unmarked, by a deep cross, but sends his volley straight at the defender

What a goal that would have been! The ball lands to Dessers on the edge of the area. He has his back to goal, but in one movement, swivels and fires towards the bottom corner. It swerves just off target, but that has lifted the home fans.

Playing devil's advocate, perhaps it's the sign of a well-drilled defence, but on a couple of occasions, Bilbao have got in behind, only to be flagged offside.

Interesting to note that Barry Ferguson has resisted the temptation to bring on a substitute after Propper's dismissal. It helps when you start with a 5-4-1 formation, but he could have reinforced that back line

Fair to say McCoist is not convinced it should have been a red card. He says the decision is a lack of common sense, while also branding it "crazy"

Propper is sent off! He's adjudged to have been the last man! The defender is shaking his head in disbelief, but he has received his marching orders for that tackle on Inaki Williams. Huge, huge blow for Rangers.

It's being check for a red card. Was Propper denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity? Should he have been sent off? The referee has been sent over to the monitor to have a look

He lunges in on Inaki Williams on the edge of the area and gets a yellow. It's a poor tackle, but only after a wonderful turn by the forward.

Trouble for Rangers down their right as Naroan Sannadi receives possession in the area. His first shot is blocked, before the rebound is flashed just wide of the far post

Ex-Gers striker Ally McCoist is on TNT Sports commentary duty tonight and he notes how quickly Rangers are getting back into a 5-4-1 formation when they don't have the ball. That means Bilbao are having work hard to break them down

The exciting Rangers man cuts in from the right wing and sends a rising shot just wide of the far post from outside the area. That's the first real chance of the game.

Both teams have shown intent to get forward, with Dessers nearly getting on one long ball, while a cross is flashed across the Rangers box at the other end

We are underway at Ibrox, with Rangers kicking things off. The stadium is - unsurprisingly - bouncing.

Both teams have a strong past in this competition. Rangers have been runners-up in the Europa League / UEFA Cup on two occasions, most recently 2021/22, when they were beaten on penalties by Frankfurt.

Athletic Club, on the other hand, got all the way to the final in 2011/12, only to be beaten 3-0 by Spanish rivals Atletico Madrid.

Bilbao arrive in Scotland having gone five games without defeat, while their 0-0 draw against Villarreal at the weekend was also a third successive clean sheet. They will be a tough nut to crack for their hosts.
