Who will win Rangers vs Dortmund? Our writers make their big predictions ahead the Europa League clash

It was an historic win for Rangers last week but they are only half way there.

Gio van Bronckhorst's team were on fire at the Westfalenstadion and while they may not need another four-goal masterclass to progress, they will still need to bring their A-game to finish the job against Dortmund.

The Bundesliga side laid down a marker at the weekend with their 6-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach and they'll feel confident of mounting a comeback in Glasgow.

But Rangers need to pick themselves up from a disappointing result against Dundee United on Sunday and make sure of their place in the last 16.

It's set to be a tight one at a sold out Ibrox and here is how Record Sport's writers see it playing out.

Keith Jackson

Rangers got the news they wanted yesterday when Erling Haaland failed to make the flight from Germany. It could well become a nervous night but Giovanni van Bronckhorst has the attacking firepower to do further damage to Dortmund’s dodgy defence.

The Germans will come out and have a real go but that strategy will leave holes at the back that Rangers are more than capable of exploiting, as they showed in the first leg. It will be an absolute cracker and the Scots can come out of it still standing.

Scott Burns

Rangers took a massive step with that win in Dortmund last week. I think it could be a nervy night at Ibrox but I still expect Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side to get the job done, with Alfredo Morelos heavily involved again.

The Germans will no doubt go out with all-guns blazing looking to haul themselves back into the tie and have weapons.

But Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team proved in the first leg they have plenty of their own threat and can seal the deal at a packed Ibrox.

Rangers might need to hang tough at times as Dortmund can’t be as poor as last week. There will be gaps for Gio van Bronckhorst’s men to exploit as well and you’d fancy them to get a goal.

Gers are dangerous on the break and they can put the tie out of reach even if they don’t win on the night.

The Germans can’t be as bad as they were at home but it’s already job done for Gers as they should score the goal which edges them through.
