Rangers spark seismic shift as Gio van Bronckhort's jaw dropper decks Dortmund - Keith Jackson's big match verdict

If they thought the first one was a fluke then Borussia Dortmund now know better. The whole of Europe does for that matter.

In fact, It could even be argued – and with some vindication – that the performance produced last night by Rangers was even more impressive than the stunning win in Germany that made this Europa League miracle possible in the first place.

That Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side were only denied a second magnificent victory over the Bundesliga big boys and tournament favourites by a dreadful miscarriage of VAR justice was a minor irritation on a night when a bouncing Ibrox felt like the centre of football’s universe.

This time Dortmund gave them their best shot. And it still wasn’t good enough to derail a Rangers side that not only weathered the storm but hit back with two goals which did stand from skipper James Tavernier to crown a night of glory.

A significant victory too for van Bronckhorst, who made a major tactical tweak at half-time with this tie in the balance and watched his team dominate the second 45 minutes in a style every bit as jaw-dropping as last week’s first leg.

Van Bronckhorst’s first job of the night was also his easiest. He picked up last week’s teamsheet and handed it in again without making a single alteration on the basis that there was absolutely no need to change what had already broken Borussia down with such spectacular success.
