    Hibernian v Shkendija (20:00)

    Shkendija have made three changes from their 3-1 victory over Slovenian side Bravo in the previous qualifying round.

    In goals, Ferat Ramani replaces Astrit Amzai, while outfield, versatile defender Bojan Dimoski and midfielder Sebastjan Spahiu are replaced in the starting line-up by Jovan Manev and Endrit Krasniqi.

  2. Hibs unchanged as Boyle passed fitpublished at 19:24 BST

    Hibernian v Shkendija (20:00)

    David Gray goes with the same starting line-up from Scottish Premiership defeat by Motherwell at the weekend.

    Forward Martin Boyle, who was a doubt for the game, is fit enough to start for Hibs.

  3. Benfica change three from St Gallen thumpingpublished at 19:19 BST

    Benfica v Heart of Midlothian (20:00)

    Back-up goalkeeper Samuel Soares gets a rare start for Benfica in place of number one Anatoliy Trubin.

    That's one of three changes to the side that thrashed St Gallen 5-0 in their last game.

    There's another in defence, with Antonio Silva out after joining Bournemouth for a reported £26m. Tomas Araujo comes in to replace him and captain the side, having reported back from the World Cup with Portugal.

    And, on the wing, 20-year-old Gianluca Prestianni starts after serving his Uefa ban for using a homophobic slur towards Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior.

  4. Kabore and Kyzidiris in for Heartspublished at 19:16 BST

    Benfica v Heart of Midlothian (20:00)

    Two changes for Hearts from the side that threw away a win at Pittodrie on Saturday evening - and they come at the top end of the pitch.

    Pierre Landry Kabore is in, with Amadou Ba-Sy dropping to the bench. Neither have scored yet this season.

    Winger Alexandros Kzyiridis also comes in, with Sabah Kerjota named among the subs after his very first start in a Hearts shirt.

    On the bench, there's places for young defenders MJ Kamson-Kamara and Matthew Gillies, who could both make debuts if called upon.

  7. 'No excuses' for Rangers?published at 19:10 BST

    FT: Jagiellonia Bialystok 2-1 Rangers

    Ferguson, McKenna and especially Cerny should have been the top priorities. Quality is what we needed, but the money was wasted elsewhere.

    Nigel

    There's no guarantee Rangers will pull this back at Ibrox. I understand the defensive concerns. It is, however, far too early in the season to make an informed judgement. That said, time and patience are luxuries Rangers don't have.

    William

    If Rangers can’t beat this team over two legs, it’s a mortal embarrassment. No excuse for inadequate defence.

  9. Visitors did so wellpublished at 19:06 BST

    FT: HJK Helsinki 1-1 Motherwell

    Opening minutes of the second half, Motherwell were outstanding.

    They got their penalty and HJK Helsinki didn't look like they were going to get back into it.

    But Teemu Pukki did what he does best and flashed in the equaliser.

  10. FULL-TIME Jagiellonia Bialystok 2-1 Rangerspublished at 19:03 BST

    Rangers have it all to do in the second leg.

    It could be argued that it could have been a bigger defeat after Jagiellonia threatened to add to Kajetan Szmyt's double.

    Derek McInnes' side failed to build on an early own goal, but half-time changes shifted the momentum in their favour and Findlay Curtis was unlucky not to find an equaliser with a shot off the post.

  11. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 18:58 BST

    Jagiellonia Bialystok 2-1 Rangers

    Lawrence Shankland nods it down well for Findlay Curtis, who steps onto the ball well and rattles the post.

    The young winger has been the brightest spark for Derek McInnes' side since coming on as a substitute.

    We've got two minutes left of stoppage time.

  12. FULL-TIME HJK Helsinki 1-1 Motherwellpublished at 18:54 BST

    On the balance of the game a draw probably feels like a fair result. HJK Helsinki controlled the first half, while Motherwell, particularly at the start of the second, looked the better side.

    Still, a draw to take back to Fir Park for the second leg next week is a very decent result and one you've got to assume visiting manager Alfred Johansson will be happy with.

    Jagiellonia Bialystok 2-1 Rangers

    Lawrence Shankland almost scores with his first touch.

    The ball falls to the Rangers striker from a corner just a yard or so from goal, but the home goalkeeper does well to smother the attempt immediately.

  14. Can Rangers apply more heat?published at 18:51 BST

    Rangers continue to push for an equaliser as Rangers' chief executive looks on stony faced. I wonder what he makes of all this?

    Derek McInnes' changes have influenced the game, but will it lead to a second goal for Rangers?

    Also, it's still very, very warm.

  15. Shankland on for Rangerspublished at 18:50 BST

    Jagiellonia Bialystok 2-1 Rangers

    Ross McCrorie is off for Lawrence Shankland with just over five minutes to go.

    A striker for a right-back - positive, brave move by Rangers boss Derek McInnes.

  16. Postpublished at 18:49 BST

    HJK Helsinki 1-1 Motherwell

    Motherwell have a corner to defend as they head into five minutes of stoppage time in Finland.

    The delivery can't beat the first man, but the clearance eventually falls to Ville Tikkane, who can't keep his shot down.

  17. Postpublished at 18:47 BST

    Jagiellonia Bialystok 2-1 Rangers

    What a block that is.

    Findlay Curtis does well again and the winger's saved shot falls for Ross McCrorie and the right-back's powerful shot is headed clear by former Celtic cente-half Yuki Kobayashi as it whizzed towards goal.

    Fair play for sticking his dish in the way of that.

  18. Postpublished at 18:44 BST

    Jagiellonia Bialystok 2-1 Rangers

    Findlay Curtis has added some much-needed attacking guile since his introduction.

    He digs a cross out from the byeline that Kajetan Szmyt nods behind for a corner, which comes to nothing as it crosses the line before reaching the box.

  19. Postpublished at 18:42 BST

    HJK Helsinki 1-1 Motherwell

    Motherwell clear HJK's corner at one end and race up the other, where they pass the ball around the edge of the box without anyone managing to take on a shot and the hosts eventually get rid of the danger.

  20. Raskin pushed forwardpublished at 18:42 BST

    Rangers now have central midfielders on the pitch.

    Raskin has been asked to move into the number 10 position. I wonder if he'll bring another striker on.
