Match backgroundBayer Leverkusen appear to be in complete control of this UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie after beating Rangers3-1 at Ibrox Stadium in the first leg on 12 March.

• Leverkusen entered the UEFA Europa League in the knockout phase after crossing over from the UEFA ChampionsLeague, where they finished third in Group D behind Juventus and Atlético Madrid on six points. They wereconvincing conquerors of 2010/11 winners Porto in the round of 32, winning 2-1 at home and 3-1 away.

• After coming through four qualifying ties, Rangers negotiated their way through a highly competitive Group G in theautumn, finishing runners-up to Porto ahead of Young Boys and Feyenoord. They recovered from going two goalsdown to beat Braga 3-2 at Ibrox in the first leg of the round of 32 before clinching qualification with a 1-0 win inPortugal.

Previous meetings• Leading 1-0 through a Kai Havertz penalty after 37 minutes of the first leg in Glasgow, Leverkusen doubled their leadwith a 67th-minute Charles Aránguiz half-volley before Rangers reduced the deficit with a header from defenderGeorge Edmundson. The final word, however, went to the visitors as Leon Bailey made the final score 3-1 with ameasured 88th-minute strike.

• Uniquely among the eight round of 16 ties, Rangers and Leverkusen have been paired before in UEFA competition.They met in the 1998/99 UEFA Cup second round, with the Scottish club prevailing 3-2 on aggregate (2-1 a, 1-1 h)thanks to a goal in each game from Finnish striker Jonatan Johansson.

• While that is Leverkusen's lone previous experience of Scottish opposition, Rangers have now met German clubs on46 occasions, including Bayern München in the final of the 1966/67 European Cup Winners' Cup final, which they lost1-0 after extra time. The Gers have only won three times in 22 visits to German teams (D8 L11), that 1998 success atLeverkusen the most recent. Since then their record against Bundesliga hosts is D1 L6.

• Rangers' record in two-legged UEFA ties against German clubs is W7 L9. They were triumphant in the most recent,overcoming Werder Bremen (2-0 h, 0-1 a) in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup round of 16 en route to that season's final.

Form guideLeverkusen• Fourth in the 2018/19 Bundesliga, Leverkusen thus entered the UEFA Champions League group stage for the 12thtime. In last season's European campaign they were eliminated from the UEFA Europa League round of 32 byKrasnodar after topping a group featuring Ludogorets, FC Zürich and AEK Larnaca.

• The German club's bid to reach this season’s UEFA Champions League round of 16 was scuppered by defeats intheir opening three matches – 1-2 at home to Lokomotiv Moskva, 0-3 at Juventus and 0-1 at Atlético Madrid – andalthough they rallied to beat Lokomotiv away (2-0) and Atlético at home (2-1), a BayArena defeat by Juve onMatchday 6 (0-2) left them in third place.

•.Victory over Porto in February put Leverkusen into the UEFA Europa League round of 16 for the third time, but theyhave never made it beyond this stage, going out in both previous ties to Villarreal, in 2010/11 (2-3 h, 1-2 a) and2015/16 (0-2 a, 0-0 h). They were, however, successful UEFA Cup round of 16 participants in 2006/07 and 2007/08,winning both ties – the first against Lens (1-2 a, 3-0 h), the second, on away goals, against Hamburg (1-0 h, 2-3 a) –before exiting in the quarter-finals.

• The Werkself have drawn seven of their last 16 European home games (W6 L3). In the UEFA Europa League theyare unbeaten in seven matches at the BayArena (W4 D3), since a 0-1 defeat by Benfica in the 2012/13 UEFA EuropaLeague round of 32, and have an overall home record in the competition, play-offs included, of W10 D5 L2.

• Leverkusen have won eight of the nine UEFA ties when they have won the first leg away, most recently againstSporting CP in the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League round of 32 (1-0 a, 3-1 h). They have never previously won the firstaway leg 3-1.

Rangers• Rangers qualified for 2019/20 European competition as runners-up to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. They alsowon four qualifying ties to reach the UEFA Europa League group stage for the first time, but just one win and sixpoints prevented them from making further progress.

• Once again Rangers were obliged to come through four qualifiers to reach this season's group stage, goingundefeated in knocking out St Joseph's, Progrès Niederkorn, Midtjylland and Legia Warszawa. In Group G they beatFeyenoord and Porto at home and drew with both sides away but lost to a late winner at Young Boys before securingtheir qualification at the Swiss side's expense with a 1-1 draw at Ibrox on Matchday 6. Subsequent home and awaywins against Braga, coupled with Celtic’s round of 32 elimination by Copenhagen, have left them as Scotland's

longest surviving European representatives for the first time in nine years.

• The Gers' only previous UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie, in that 2010/11 season, ended in elimination by PSVEindhoven (0-0 a, 0-1 h), though, like Leverkusen, they did reach successive UEFA Cup last-16 ties in 2006/07 and2007/08, losing the first, to Osasuna (1-1 h, 0-1 a), and winning the second, against Bremen.

• Rangers' victory in Braga back in February was their first on the road in the UEFA Europa League proper (D5 L3),though they had drawn both of their previous two away fixtures in the group stage. They are unbeaten away fromhome in their last five UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League knockout phase fixtures (W2 D3).

• Rangers have never recovered to win a UEFA tie after losing the first leg at home, suffering elimination on all fiveoccasions, most recently in the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round against Malmö (0-1 h, 1-1 a).Their only previous 1-3 first-leg defeat at Ibrox was also against German opposition, Bayern beating them by thatscoreline in the first round of the 1989/90 European Cup before a second-leg 0-0 draw in Munich.

Links and trivia • Lukas Hradecky (Leverkusen) and Glen Kamara (Rangers) are international team-mates for Finland.

• This is the only tie in the UEFA Europa League round of 16 between two clubs that have previously won a majorUEFA competition, Rangers lifting the 1971/72 European Cup Winners' Cup and Leverkusen the 1987/88 UEFA Cup.

• While Rangers have won a record 54 Scottish league titles, Leverkusen have never been crowned champions ofGermany.

• Alfredo Morelos, Rangers' Colombian striker, was the top scorer in this season's UEFA Europa League qualifyingphase with eight goals, and the group stage with six. He has yet to score in the knockout phase.

• Rangers manager Steven Gerrard skippered Liverpool to back-to-back 3-1 wins against Leverkusen in the last 16 ofthe 2004/05 UEFA Champions League – en route to lifting the trophy in Istanbul. He had tasted defeat against thesame opponents three years earlier as Leverkusen eliminated Liverpool in the quarter-finals (0-1 a, 4-2 h).

• Rangers are the only club to have reached this season's round of 16 after beginning their UEFA Europa Leaguejourney in the first qualifying round.

• Leverkusen are one of four UEFA Champions League group stage participants to have reached the UEFA EuropaLeague round of 16, along with Internazionale, Olympiacos and Shakhtar Donetsk.

• Rangers finished the curtailed 2019/20 Scottish Premiership season in second place behind Celtic, whereasLeverkusen ended up fifth in the Bundesliga, securing a return to the 2020/21 UEFA Europa League. They alsofinished runners-up in the DFB-Pokal, losing 4-2 to champions Bayern München in the final.

Penalty shoot-outs• Leverkusen's record in three UEFA penalty shoot-outs is W1 L2:3-2 v Espanyol, 1987/88 UEFA Cup final3-5 v Tirol Innsbruck, 1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup quarter-final2-3 v Atlético Madrid, 2014/15 UEFA Champions League round of 16

• Rangers' record in four UEFA penalty shoot-outs is W3 L1:1-3 v Borussia Dortmund, 1999/2000 UEFA Cup third round4-3 v Paris Saint-Germain, 2001/02 UEFA Cup third round4-2 v Marítimo, 2004/05 UEFA Cup first round4-2 v Fiorentina, 2007/08 UEFA Cup sem-final

The coaches• A Dutch champion and three-time domestic cup winner with Feyenoord in the 1990s, Peter Bosz's eventful coachingcareer, which began in earnest at De Graafschap in 2002, peaked when he led Ajax to the final of the 2016/17 UEFAEuropa League. The former Oranje midfielder spent just that one season in Amsterdam, subsequently replacingThomas Tuchel at Borussia Dortmund, where his reign lasted only six months. After a year's absence he returned tothe Bundesliga to coach Bayer Leverkusen in December 2018 and succeeded in qualifying the Werkself for the UEFAChampions League.

• A Liverpool legend with 186 goals in 710 appearances for the Anfield club, most of them as captain, Gerrardlaunched his managerial career at Glasgow giants Rangers in May 2018. An England international for 14 years,accumulating 114 caps and 21 goals, the dynamic midfielder won the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League withLiverpool as well as both domestic cups. After an 18-month end-of-career spell with LA Galaxy he returned to coachLiverpool's youth team before the job at Ibrox lured him to Scotland, where he led the Gers to second place in the2018/19 Premiership.
