UCLQ: DESSERS’ LATE GOAL EARNS RANGERS 1-1 DRAW VS DYNAMO KYIV
Cyriel Dessers’ dramatic 94th-minute equaliser earned Rangers a crucial first-leg 1-1 draw with Dynamo Kyiv in their bid to qualify for the Champions League group stage.
Also in action alongside Dessers was Leon Balogun, who was 90 minutes of action for the Scottish giants.
Amid increasing negative noise surrounding the start of Rangers’ season, Dynamo Kyiv took the lead thanks to Andriy Yarmolenko’s 38 minutes opener.

In a similar theme to their goalless draw with Hearts in their opening league game on Saturday, Rangers were again both profligate and exposed on occasions.
But Dessers’ close-range finish – the final kick of the match on 94 minutes, rescued what could be a priceless result in Poland.
Played at a half-full Lublin Arena because of the war in Ukraine, next Tuesday’s second leg will hold at Hampden because delayed construction work at Ibrox continues, meaning neither team will play their home tie in their own ground.
The winners of the tie will face either RB Salzburg or FC Twente for a place in the 2024-25 Champions League, with the Austrians taking a 2-1 lead to the Netherlands.
