The Rangers good omens for Europa League glory as Dortmund's Ibrox toils stretch back decades

Rangers face Borussia Dortmund for the fifth time at Ibrox on Thursday and have yet to lose.

It's a favourable record that was emphatically extended last week when Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side stunned the Bundesliga giants 4-2 in their own backyard.

That puts Rangers on the verge of qualifying for the last 16 of the Europa League - IF they can get the job done at Ibrox.

Dortmund roared back with a 6-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach on Sunday and could welcome back superstar striker Erling Haaland from injury.

But the omens remain good for the Premiership champions, considering their history against Dortmund, something stretches back decades.
