- 90'+3'That's all from us, and we hope you've enjoyed our coverage of a fascinating Europa League last-eight contest. We hope to see you again next time, goodbye!
- 90'+3'This Europa League quarter-final tie remains in the balance after an intriguing first leg, with Braga taking the slenderest of leads to Ibrox next week. The Portuguese outfit produced some excellent football at times, and will carry a genuine threat once again in Glasgow, but Rangers will believe they are still in the tie after an improved second-half showing.
- 90'+3'Full time in Portugal, and Braga hold on for a 1-0 first-leg win over Rangers! Ruiz's opener came during a dominant first half for the hosts, and their win is probably deserved, but Van Bronckhorst's team improved after making a raft of second-half substitutions, with Goldson missing two decent chances after the break.
- 90'+3'FULL-TIME: BRAGA 1-0 RANGERS.
- 90'+2'Bassey concedes a foul just in the Braga half, and the home side may have done enough to hold on for the victory...
- 90'+1'CHANCE! The corner drops to Goldson in a crowded penalty area, but Braga manage to block as he tries to poke the ball home. The hosts scramble the ball clear in the aftermath, but Rangers regain possession on halfway…
- 90'Suprisingly, we're to have just three minutes of added time, as Tavernier wins a Rangers corner on the right...
- 89'Blocked! The Rangers set-peice eventually falls to Aribo, who sees a fearsome volley blocked at close range. The Scottish champions have been much improved since making their substitutions, and are still pushing for a leveller...
- 89'Oliveira replaces the highly impressive Couto, as Braga look to cling on for a huge victory.
- 88'Aribo does brilliantly to win the ball near the corner flag for Rangers, and Carmo makes a late challenge on Tavernier as he looks to race towards the box. The defender is fortunate to escape a second booking for that foul, but Rangers have a free kick in a good position on the right wing…

- 36'Yellow card8 - Ryan JackJack now becomes the first Rangers man to go into the book, fouling Al-Musrati on halfway. The Rangers man looks in some discomfort after making the challenge and needs some treatment.
- 22'Yellow card16 - David CarmoCarmo became the first man to enter the book after that challenge, and will be walking a tightrope against a lively Rangers attack now.
