Rangers will entertain Dynamo Kyiv at Hampden Park in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round on Tuesday.

The visitors also bounced back with a 2-1 win over Veres Rivne in the Ukrainian Premier League on Friday, thanks to goals from Mykola Shaparenko and Vitaliy Buyalskyi.
