PLAYER RATINGS
RANGERS (3-4-3) TEAM AVERAGE 8.4
ALLAN McGREGOR 8.5 Assured display by the veteran who made one huge save from Laimer. No chance of stopping Nkunku’s instinctive finish.
JOHN LUNDSTRAM 9.0 A terrific display on the right of a back three before moving into midfield and scoring the winner.
CONNOR GOLDSON 9.0 Engrossing physical battle with Poulsen. Played with a cool head after picking up a harsh first-half booking.
CALVIN BASSEY 9.0 The left-sided defender has a maturity that belies his 22 years. What a season he is having at Ibrox.
JAMES TAVERNIER 9.0 Capped a fine performance with a seventh Europa League knockout goal to become the tournament’s top scorer.
RYAN JACK 7.0 Injury curtailed his evening. Rangers looked more vulnerable without him but they got the job done.
GLEN KAMARA 9.0 Played a key role in opener then struck a wonderful second goal before dedicating it to the late Jimmy Bell.
BORNA BARISIC 8.5 A strong performance by the Croat, who defended diligently and put dangerous deliveries into the box from the left.
SCOTT WRIGHT 8.0 Justified his inclusion. Worked hard and played a key role in Kamara’s goal which put Rangers in control of the tie.
JOE ARIBO 6.0 Held the ball up well and missed a wonderful chance. Night ended early after taking an Angelino free-kick in the face.
RYAN KENT 9.0 The Rangers winger comes alive on European nights and he superbly set up goals for Tavernier and Lundstram. SUBSTITUTES Sakala (Aribo 45), Arfield (Wright 58), Balogun (Jack 59). Not used: McLaughlin, Diallo, Davis, King, Sands, Ramsey, McCrorie, Lowry. GIO VAN BRONCKHORST9.0 Bravely went man-forman at the back and was rewarded
RB LEIPZIG (3-4-3) TEAM AVERAGE 6.1
PETER GULACSI 6.5 The Hungary international goalkeeper had no chance at the Rangers goals and made one great save from Sakala.
LUKAS KLOSTERMANN 6.5 A busy night up against the direct running and close control of the dangerous Rangers winger Kent.
WILLI ORBAN 6.5 Experienced defender dealt well with Aribo and Sakala but Rangers managed to hurt Leipzig in other areas.
JOSKO GVARDIOL 6.0 Young Croatia international is normally so dependable but he was caught in possession by Wright at Kamara’s goal.
BENJAMIN HENRICHS 6.0 The versatile German international is a real talent but this was not his night. He was off the pace.
KEVIN KAMPL 6.0 Back from suspension but the Slovenian took time to warm up before beginning to influence the game. KONRAD LAIMER 6.0 The midfielder grew into the game and was a threat from midfield. But his big chance was saved by McGregor.
ANGELINO 6.5 Goalscorer from the first leg failed to track Tavernier at the Rangers skipper’s goal but set up Nkunku’s strike.
DANI OLMO 5.5 Some classy turns but the Spanish international’s final ball often lacked in quality. No surprise when he was replaced.
YUSSUF POULSEN 6.0 The Danish striker posed a threat in the air but he was well marshalled by both Goldson and Bassey.
CHRISTOPHER NKUNKU 6.0 The French forward popped up with a fine finish but over the two legs he was a major disappointment. SUBSTITUTES Szoboszlai (Olmo 62), Halstenberg (Angelino 83), Silva (Poulsen 83). Not used: Simakan, Forsberg, Adams, Tschauner, Mukiele, Martinez, Novoa, Raebiger. DOMENICO TEDESCO 6.0 Was out-thought by Van Bronckhorst and his team were outplayed.
