GLASGOW, Scotland :Rangers held Athletic Bilbao to a nail-biting goalless draw at home in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday, despite being reduced to 10 men early on. Bilbao failed to capitalise on their numerical advantage after Rangers defender Robin Propper was sent off in the 13th minute for a foul on Inaki Williams. The visitors came close to taking the lead when substitute Alex Berenguer scored in the 76th minute. However, after a VAR review, the winger was flagged for offside but a penalty was awarded because the ball had bounced off the hand of defender James Tavernier before the goal. Rangers goalkeeper Liam Kelly made a fine save from Berenguer to keep the result scoreless. The return leg will be played next Thursday at the San Mames stadium in Bilbao.
