Borussia Dortmund will again be without star striker Erling Haaland for their Europa League play-off second leg at Rangers on Thursday.

The German side trail 4-2 from the home first leg but 21-year-old Haaland has failed to recover from adductor problems, which have kept him out for four weeks.

The squad announced for the trip to Glasgow did include right-back Thomas Meunier, with the Belgian returning from a knock.

Borussia Dortmund’s poor first-leg showing last week shocked fans but they did smash Borussia Mönchengladbach 6-0 in the Bundesliga at the weekend.
