England sensation Jude Bellingham is confident that Borussia Dortmund and beat Rangers at Ibrox in the second leg on Thursday (24 February).

The Bundesliga giants suffered a 4-2 defeat in arguably one of the best away performances from the Gers in European games.

However, Dortmund can still progress through to the next round of the competition, but they have to produce a near-perfect performance.

Bellingham said, as quoted by the Daily Record: “Definitely, we can score against anyone.

“We scored two goals against them last time and now we need two to equalise and get three to go through if we keep a clean sheet.”

Equation

Dortmund need to score at least two-goal to take them to extra time, while a three-goal margin would see them progress through.

The German giants are heading into this match on the back of a 6-0 win against Monchengladbach on Sunday. Erling Haaland could also return from injury, and Dortmund are expected to produce a strong performance.

However, the equation will change drastically if Rangers can score one or two goals.

The Gers are heading into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Dundee United, and Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be looking for a response.

Rangers have done well at home under the Dutchman, and it’s their away form which is a huge worry at the moment.

However, the focus now shifts on to Europe, and Rangers must consider one game at a time.

They have taken a big lead, and now should finish off the task. The Scottish champions shouldn’t allow Dortmund to dominate the game, and at the same time, they need to be solid at the back.

In other Rangers news, the club could be set for a seven-figure windfall if they can hold off Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League on Thursday.
