– Rangers completed one of their greatest European triumphs after dumping German giants Borussia Dortmund out of the Europa League in an epic 10-goal tie.
– As he did in last week’s 4-2 first-leg win, James Tavernier opened the scoring from the spot to set Ibrox rocking.
– But Jude Bellingham slotted his second goal of the tie before Donyell Malen gave Dortmund the lead on the night.

– However, Tavernier’s back-post finish restored Rangers’ two-goal aggregate advantage, sealing a last-16 place.
– The Scottish side were controversially denied a more comfortable end to the tie when Ryan Kent’s goal was harshly disallowed after a VAR review.
– But the Ibrox club withstood late pressure with a raucous home crowd behind them to book their place in the Europa League’s last 16 for the third successive season.
– And the incredible performance and swashbuckling endeavour shown to down Dortmund will give Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men plenty of belief going into Friday’s draw.
