Borussia Dortmund 2-4 Rangers: Van Bronckhorst calls for calm after memorable Europa League win

Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst called for calm after his side earned a momentous Europa League victory at Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.

The Ibrox side take a two-goal lead into next Thursday's knockout play-off second leg after netting four goals at a stunned Signal Iduna Park.

Van Bronckhorst expressed his pride at the result, but was keen to stress the tie is only at the halfway stage.

«It is a great night, but only a great night,» the Dutchman said post-match.

«We are not through to the next round, which is what we want. We know we have to have a good performance next week as well.»

Van Bronckhorst's side started aggressively, but were composed in possession against a Dortmund side currently second in Germany's top flight, just six points off leaders Bayern Munich.

The Ibrox boss highlighted «the benefit of having VAR» after a check allowed James Tavernier to open the scoring from the spot.

Alfredo Morelos added a quickfire second with a back-post tap-in before John Lundstram's left-foot drive from the edge of the area had Rangers in dreamland.

England teenager Jude Bellingham replied instantly with a fine curling finish of his own, but Dan-Axel Zagadou's own-goal restored a remarkable three-goal lead.

However, Raphael Guerreiro's dipping strike means Van Bronckhorst's side go into the return leg with their advantage at a two-goal margin, and the Rangers manager says there is still «a lot of work to do» to ensure they go through.

«We wanted to take a result back with us to Glasgow,» he added. «I think we achieved that with a two-goal difference.

»There are a lot of positives to take from this game. I thought the boys were exceptional. Every man, even the substitutes who came on, everyone did a fantastic job. But
