There was a boost for Rangers before the game with the confirmation that Dortmund's star striker Erling Haaland remained sidelined with an adductor problem albeit there were plenty of familiar faces in the home side.

Dortmund teenagers Giovanni Reyna - son of former Rangers midfielder Claudio and named after current boss Van Bronckhorst - and Youssoufa Moukoko came on for the second half to replace Axel Witsel and Brandt and they watched helplessly after Kent displayed some dribbling magic before setting up Lundstram to curl the ball into the net from 22 yards.
A minute later Bellingham reduce the deficit with a goal similar to that of Lundstram's effort, a lifeline, taken away in the 54th minute when Morelos's shot went in off Zagadou after an incisive breakaway led by Kent. It was breath-taking stuff.
