Domenico Tedesco pays tribute to Rangers 'legend' Jimmy Bell as he insists Leipzig have nothing to lose

Defiant Dominico Tedesco insists there’s no crisis at Leipzig despite seeing his side’s Champions League hopes falter after back-to-back Bundesliga defeats.

Tedesco watched his team slip out of the top four in Germany on Monday night as they followed up last week’s shock loss to Union Berlin by slumping 3-1 to 10-man Borussia Monchengladbach.

Leipzig looked out on their feet as they suffered a result which means domestic qualification for UEFA’s premier competition is no longer in their own hands with two games remaining.

But they still can book a ticket to Europe's top table so long as they rouse themselves to see off Rangers at Ibrox on Thursday and then go on to claim Europa League glory in the Seville final later this month.

And Tedesco is refusing to panic yet as he brushed off suggestions he had tried to avert a full-blown emergency by pulling his team together for a post-match huddle after Monday’s Borussia Park setback.
