GROUP G STANDINGS
Christian Fassnacht scored a last-gasp winner for Young Boys as Rangers left the Stade de Suisse Wankdorf without a point following a 2-1 Europa League defeat.
Rangers looked comfortable on the artificial surface in an open first half and broke the deadlock in the 44th minute when Alfredo Morelos shook off a defender and darted into the box before sliding the ball into the net.
It took Young Boys just five minutes of the second half to level things up as Roger Assale fired in from close range after James Tavernier lost possession near his own corner flag in the lead up to the goal.
And the Swiss champions broke Rangers’ hearts deep into added time when Fassnacht fired in to snatch all three points following another Tavernier error.
All four teams in Group G now have three points apiece after Feyenoord beat Porto keeper David Von Ballmoos. The Colombian went through on goal again one minute before the break after turning a defender and latching onto Borna Barisic’s brilliant ball, and this time he found the back of the net as he fired beyond Von Ballmoos to open the scoring.
Less than a minute later, Sheyi Ojo flashed a dangerous ball across goal from the left side but no one in a Rangers shirt was there to turn it home.
Young Boys equalised five minutes into the second half when Assale poked in a Ulisses Garcia cross from close range.
Morelos worked a good opening in the 53rd minute, unleashing a fierce drive from the right wing and forcing Von Ballmoos into a good save.
Rangers appealed for a penalty four minutes later when Morelos appeared to be brought down in the area but the referee was not interested.
Young Boys midfielder Gianluca Gaudino chanced his arm from range in the 63rd minute but Allan Mcgregor made a comfortable save.
Connor Goldson headed over from a corner in the 77th minute as Rangers continued to push for a second.
Morelos almost snatched maximum points for Rangers in the 90th minute but Von Ballmoos produced a sensational stop to keep his shot out.
And Young Boys compounded their misery late in injury time when Tavernier slipped and made a mess of an attempted clearance and Fassnacht steered home past Mcgregor to win the game for the hosts.
