Ibrox latest news: Dortmund tie 'could go very wrong very quickly' if Rangers set up to defend

Scottish journalist Chris Jack has urged Rangers to avoid setting up to defend against Borussia Dortmund as it “could go very wrong very quickly”.

Rangers hold a 4-2 advantage following their first leg victory in Germany and will progress to the last 16 of the Europa League as long as they don’t lose by more than one goal.

It was a seriously memorable evening in the Westfalenstadion for Giovanni van Bronckhorst, whose side exceeded all expectations to come away with one of their finest European results in their history.

A draw, or even a one-goal defeat would have been considered a positive result, especially considering their recent struggles on their travels.

But Rangers went above and beyond to put themselves in cruise control ahead of tonight’s second leg at what is expected to be a red-hot Ibrox.

First-half goals from James Tavernier and Alfredo Morelos shocked Dortmund, although Rangers’ evening got even better when John Lundstram rifled them into a 3-0 lead moments into the second period.

Jude Bellingham and Raphael Guerreiro reduced the deficit with two fine long-term effort, but Dan-Axel Zagadou had earlier turned into his own net to give Rangers a two-goal lead ahead of the return leg in Scotland.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “I think if they set up to defend and contain Dortmund, that could go very wrong, very quickly.

“If you set up with that team selection and mindset, Dortmund could go and score in the first five minutes and you then can’t hold out for 85 minutes trying not to concede again.”

While it might be tempting for Rangers to sit back and hold onto what they’ve already got, as Jack alluded to, an early Dortmund could, which could well happen
