Rangers salvaged a crucial 1-1 draw against Dynamo Kyiv in the first leg of their Champions League qualifier thanks to a dramatic late equaliser from Super Eagles striker Cyriel Dessers.
Amid increasing negative noise surrounding the start of the Ibrox club’s season, Philippe Clement’s side fell behind to Andriy Yarmolenko’s first-half opener. However, Dessers‘ close-range finish with the final kick of the match rescued what could be a priceless result in Poland.
The Scottish side faced an uphill battle after falling behind to Yarmolenko’s first-half goal. Dessers’ 94th-minute strike ensured a share of the spoils in a match played at the neutral venue of Lublin Arena due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Rangers will now host the second leg at Hampden Park next Tuesday, with a place in the Champions League play-off round up for grabs.
