Dynamo Kyiv 1-1 Rangers: Dessers

Cyriel Dessers' sensational 94th-minute goal secured a vital first-leg draw for Rangers against Dynamo Kyiv in their Champions League qualifier.

The result was deserved - and much needed after they drew a blank in Scottish Premiership opener against Hearts - with the tie now finely poised ahead of next week's second leg in Glasgow.

Dynamo, who hammered Partizan Belgrade 9-2 in the previous round, took the lead through Andriy Yarmolenko after Tom Lawrence and Ross McCausland had threatened for Rangers.

With time running out, Dessers stabbed home Vaclav Cerney's cross to score what could prove to be a priceless goal in Poland.

The winners of the tie will face either RB Salzburg or FC Twente for a place in this season's Champions League group stage.
