Match stats

  • Haaland has scored 27 goals in 25 appearances in UEFA competition, including four in five Europa League qualifiers for former club Salzburg.
  • After Haaland (23 goals, six assists) and Reus (13 goals, 13 assists), Jude Bellingham is Dortmund’s biggest attacking threat this season (five goals, 11 assists).
  • Reus is Dortmund’s record scorer in UEFA competition, though, with 21 goals. Haaland has put away 15 since joining the club.
  • Reyna, the son of former Rangers midfielder Claudio Reyna, is named after his Dad’s ex-teammate, and current Gers boss, Van Bronckhorst. The American could make his Europa League debut.
  • Dortmund’s biggest away win in the Europa League/ UEFA Cup was a 3-0 triumph over Romania’s Craiova (6 November 1990). That scoreline would suffice at Ibrox, if Rangers don’t score.
  • Ryan Kent (Freiburg) and Balogun (Hannover, Werder Bremen, Fortuna Düsseldorf, Darmstadt and Mainz), are ex-Bundesliga players.
