Allan McGregor 6
Wasn’t tested until 53 minutes in when he punched clear a fierce Christian Nkunku strike. He denied Tyler Adams with a similar effort late in the day but was left despairing as Angelino’s volley wrongfooted the keeper
Borna Barisic 6
Looked nervous in the first-half but grew into the match and linked well with Kent in the second-half. A steady performance but restricted in how much he could push forward.
Calvin Bassey 7
Deployed at centre-back the Nigerian continues to impress in the Rangers backline. Powerful in the air and in the tackle and burst out of defence to give his team-mates some breathing space on occasion.
Connor Goldson 7
A tremendous and vitally important challenge on Conrad Laimer after 18 minutes summed up his night. A towering display with the hosts threatening most of the evening, commanded the rest of the back-five throughout.
John Lundstram 6
Moved back into the back-five by Giovanni van Bronckhorst and showed his defensive ability. Some crucial blocks and clearances as part of a resolute backline.
James Tavernier 6
Different side of his game required on a busy night defensively in Germany. Tavernier was forced into a much more quiet night on the attacking front but was still among the most advanced when Rangers threatened. Sound defensively.
Glen Kamara 6
One of few Rangers players who looked composed on the ball in a nervy opening period with Leipzig holding much of the ball and pressure. Threw himself into challenges in midfield and offered a cool head.
Ryan Jack 6
Went about his defensive duties well at a difficult venue. Did the unseen work in the midfield and was very disciplined in his positioning all night long.
Scott Wright 5
Not the night he’d have hoped for. Given a major opportunity but struggled to offer any real threat going forward. Starved of service in first-half and reduced to a pressing role.
Joe Aribo 7
Quieter in the first-half when Rangers were pinned back. But was a key player in the second as he served as a target-man of sorts to haul his side forward. Usual tidy play on the ball.
Ryan Kent 7
A big part of anything good for Rangers going forward. Earned priceless free-kicks to ease pressure in the first-half. Came desperately close to an opener minutes into the second-half but was maybe slow to press Angelino for the winner.
Fashion Sakala (for Wright, 69) 3
On for the final 20 minutes and struggled to see much of the ball.
Scott Arfield (for Jack, 83) 2
Offered some energy in closing minutes but didn’t have any real possession.
James Sands (for Aribo, 83) 2
Thrown into the midfield for the final few minutes.
