Malmo vs Rangers LIVE: Europa League result and final score as Rangers secure crucial away win

Impressive from Rangers. They lead at the break, but it should really be by two or three!

44 mins: CHANCE! How many chances do Rangers want?!

It’s another break, as Dessers does ever so well to turn and drive at goal. He slips in Bajrami, who has a clear sight of goal, but the Albanian attempts to pull it back to Dessers.

Malmo are able to recover and clear. Rangers just tried to be too clever there.

43 mins: Rangers are finishing the half well. Bajrami has a sight of goal and strikes on target, but Dahlin collects and holds with Cerny sniffing for the rebound.

39 mins: WHAT A CHANCE! Oh it should be two for Rangers! They break so well, as Dessers holds the ball up and knocks it to Bajrami, who plays it on to Václav Cerny.

Cerny has the whole half to run into. He takes it time, puts the ball onto his left, but then shoots wide of the post!

Philippe Clement can’t believe it. That was a golden opportunity.

35 mins: Malmo’s Rosler is booked for a late sliding challenge on the goalscorer Bajrami.

Moments later, Rangers build an attacking move and it leads to Cerny having a sight of goal.

His shot is deflected and breaks to Diomonde, but his touch lets him down. Could have been offside, though.

32 mins: With games against Lyon, Nice, Olympiacos, Manchester United and Tottenham to come in this Europa League, this has become a great opportunity for Rangers to get an opening win.

And they’re looking pretty solid as we tick closer to half time. Rangers have kept four clean sheets in their last five games - the exception was the 3-0 defeat to Celtic.

28 mins: Another firework has been set off in the Malmo end. In front of them, Vaclav Cerny almost breaks down the right but the winger’s run is cut out by Pena.

26 mins: Rangers threaten down the other end. First Bajrami cuts inside and fires straight at the goalkeeper, then Dessers looks to turn on the edge of the box. He beats his man but can’t get the shot away.

23 mins: Malmo have yet to have a shot at goal. Rangers will be pleased with their opening quarter here, as Pena swings in a cross that is easily claimed by Jack Butland. The golakeeper is in no hurry at all to get play restarted.

20 mins: Tavernier flashes in a wonderful cross from the right. Dessers is being held back by the Malmo defender Colin Rösler, and can’t get on the end of it. Dessers appeals but it’s waved away.
