Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men overturning their 1-0 deficit from the first leg.The Ibrox faithful demanded a quick start and their team did not disappoint. Just when Leipzig thought they had quelled the early storm, the home side struck twice in six minutes to turn an aggregate deficit into an overall lead.
James Tavernier’s seventh European goal of the campaign broke the deadlock as he turned in Ryan Kent’s low cross at the far post and the visitors had not recovered by the time Glen Kamara calmly swept the second past Péter Gulácsi from the edge of the area.
The German side were more composed after the interval and restored parity in the tie when Christopher Nkunku expertly volleyed in Angeliño’s cross for his 32nd goal of the season in all competitions.
Domenico Tedesco’s men appeared more likely to seal a place in the Seville showpiece at that point but Rangers regrouped and struck the decisive blow when John Lundstram fired in after the visitors failed to clear Kent’s deflected cross.
