  1. 94'

    FULL-TIME: Valient effort from Rangers, who pushed Villarreal really hard. But it is the Spanish side who will go in to the last eight on the away goals rule.

    The home fans have been outsung for most of the night, but are already celebrating their progression in to the last eight.

  8. 87'

    Even if Rangers go out, they will fly home with pride; they have pushed Villarreal really hard tonight.

  9. 86'

    RANGERS SUB: Novo replaces Burke; the young winger has been ill for some of the week with the flu, and hasn't had the best of nights. Novo sprints on with great enthusiasm.

  10. 85'

    VILLARREAL SUB: Riquelme is replaced by Calleja; it has been a tough night for the Argentine play-maker, and he looks tired as he troops off.

  11. 84'

    Viera is back on his feet after some lengthy treatment.

  12. 83'

    Viera needs some treatment after sliding in bravely to cut out a Rangers attack.

    Rangers have to start gambling now and getting players forward; they need to take some risks at the back.

  15. 81'

    GOOD BREAK! Murray is fed in down the left, but his cross is cut out at the near post by the goalkeeper. Rangers are giving it a go.

  16. 80'

    So, just ten minutes for Rangers to snatch something and make history to become the first Scottish side in to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

  17. 79'

    ALMOST! Burke shows great vision to try a reverse pass in to the run of Boyd, but the young striker had gone a moment too early and was flagged off-side.

  18. 78'

    I've seen Villarreal a few times this season, and they are masters at closing a game out; Rangers are going to need luck and great heart to pinch a winner.

  19. 77'

    Franco needs some treatment on a facial injury after taking a blow to the nose; he looks in a bit of pain, but the Mexican is soon back on his feet. He has done really well since he came on, taking up some great positions.

    GREAT CHANCE! Burke fires a sensational cross in to the near post, but Boyd's flick is poor and drifts harmlessly across the face of goal.

    CHANCE! Forlan is put in the clear down the right channel, but he opts to try and lift the ball over Waterreus and slices his shot over.

  22. 75'

    Burke is starting to get in to the game a little more, but he needs to start getting some decent crosses in for Burke and Lovenkrands.

  23. 75'

    Pena deals well with Ferguson's chipped pass over the top towards Boyd.

  24. 74'

    Rangers are starting to get themselves together now as they press for this second goal; they need to gather themselves for one final rally.

  25. 73'

    Ferguson pumps a ball over the top for Lovenkrands to chase, but Gonzalo comes across to make a strong challenge.
