RB Leipzig v Rangers: Europa League semi-final, first leg – live!

LIVE – Updated at 20:04

Minute-by-minute report: Will either team take control of this tie in Germany? Join Nick Ames.

5 min: West Ham have gone a goal down to Eintracht inside a minute ... wow.

4 min: Rangers will have to “pick their moments” to attack here, I fancy. Nkunku goes down in the box as he tries to spin Goldson, but tumbles a bit too easily.

2 min: Rangers, all in blue, are kicking left to right. After a squall of early pressure they’re settling and McGregor has the ball.

Leipzig are straight on the front foot here.

I must say, the atmosphere does sound tremendous in there. Rangers’ fans have been making themselves seen and heard in town all afternoon, in tremendous number. It feels like an arrival back at the biggest stage, or close to that – what a night this is for them!

The teams are out! 4,000 Rangers fans raise the roof. We’ll be underway soon ...

There’s also the small matter of West Ham v Eintracht Frankfurt – we couldn’t have a Hammers-Rangers final ... could we? – with Rob Smyth.

Van Bronckhorst: “We don’t get many chances to be in a final. We have prepared well and I’m very proud of my players for getting to this stage. Our players believe, they’ve trained well, they look very focused and we’re going to play in a great atmosphere against a good team. We want to enjoy it as well.”

Rangers are depleted in attack today – Alfredo Morelos is out, of course, and so is Kemar Roofe. Fashion Sakala might have been expected to start up top but instead Van Bronckhorst has gone with Scott Wright – seemingly looking to get at Leipzig with pace and mobility on the counter. Has he got it right?

Are RB Leipzig tired? Giovanni
