LIVE: Lotte 1 v 0 Rangers

To follow the action live from Germany, simply refresh this page. For live audio commentary click here.

46 min: Lotte get the second half started.

HT: Lotte 1 v 0 Rangers

A poor first half from the visiting side with Walter Smith no doubt keen to get his players in for the break.

40 min: Langenstroer picks up a yellow card for his earlier challenge on Cousin.

39 min: Cousin does well to hold off the attentions of Langenstroer and set up Fleck but the youngster's effort whistles narrowly wide of the upright. Better from Rangers.

38 min: Dondorf almost adds to the scoreline at the other end as he forces a decent save from Smith.

37 min: Rangers are struggling to find a way through, but Fleck eventually finds an opportunity, but his left foot drive is again held by Poggenborg.

31 min: Bowing-Schmalenbrock picks out Steinmann at the back post but his header is straight at Smith.

30 min: Novo picks up the second yellow card of the game for a foul on Bugri. Rangers flood forward on the break from the resulting corner kick, but Poggenborg nicks it from the toes of Daniel Cousin.

29 min: The corner almost produces a second as Graeme Smith misjudges the flight of the ball and is saved by Fleck's goal line clearance.

28 min: A dangerous looking ball in from the right from Lotte and what should have been a goal kick is given as a corner.

27 min: Kirk Broadfoot's ball from the right is high and wide. Rangers really haven't clicked in to gear yet.

23 min: The closest Rangers have come as Novo cuts in from the right and delivers a ball to Boyd at the back post. But the big forward's acrobatic effort flies just wide.

20 min: The ball drops to Fleck on the edge of the Lotte box but his left foot shot loops in to the arms of Poggenborg.

18 min: Bowing-Schmalenbrock runs clean through the middle of Rangers line up and unleashes a left foot effort that flies over Graeme Smith's goal.

15 min: A neat turn from Cousin earns him the space to clip another ball towards Boyd, but it runs through to Poggenborg in the Lotte goal.

13 min: Steinmann breaks forward after some neat play from Lotte and Fleck picks up a yellow card for bringing the German to the ground.

12 min: Rommel takes a tumble in the box with Christian Dailly close by, but the referee waves away his hopeful appeals.

10 min: The game has settled down a little after the shock opener from Lotte.

5 min: GOAL - Lotte 1 v 0 Rangers

Dennis Rommel capitalises on a mistake from Andy Webster to latch on to a long ball and roll the ball past Graeme Smith to give Lotte the lead against the run of play.

4 min: Papac clips a ball to Boyd who lays it off to Fleck, but the youngster is penalised when Leimbrink tumbles under his challenge.

2 min: Cousin attempts a ball over the top to Boyd, but the Gers no.9 can't connect with the ball to get his shot away.

0 min: Rangers get the match under way.

I know this has nothing to do with the game but...

Rangers appear to have hit a stumbling block in their attempts to sign Cardiff City defender Glenn Loovens.

BBC Scotland has learned that the Ibrox club are prepared to offer striker Kris Boyd as part of the deal to bring the Dutchman to Glasgow.

In addition, Rangers want Cardiff to pay them £800,000 to balance the deal. Cardiff, though, have rejected the bid, as the Championship side believe it is Rangers and not they who should be making the extra payment.

Manager Walter Smith has added Kenny Miller, Andrius Velicka and Kyle Lafferty to the current pool of strikers comprising Jean-Claude Darcheville, Daniel Cousin, Nacho Novo and Boyd.

Fulham's interest in Cousin appears to have ended, leaving Rangers keen to sell one or two strikers in order to help finance other deals.

Boyd voiced concerns at the end of last season that he wasn't being given enough opportunities to play for the first team.

The Scottish international was then the subject of a £2.5 million bid from Cardiff last month, which Rangers rejected.

Despite Rangers and David Weir agreeing a deal to keep the veteran defender at Ibrox for another season, Smith is keen to add another central defender to the squad.

Loovens has been capped at under-21 level by the Netherlands and starred for Cardiff in the FA Cup final in May. He signed a three-year deal in May 2006, having been on loan from Feyenoord the previous season.

He will be entering the final year of his contract with the Bluebirds and this is likely to be weighing on Cardiff chairman Peter Ridsdale's mind in his dealings with interested clubs.

52 min: Good work from Fleck on the left as he floats a ball to the back post. Cousin knocks it down to McCulloch but tonight's captain can't get a shot away.

48 min: Papac does well to break in to the Lotte box and his flicked effort is well saved by the substitute keeper

47 min: Walter Smith has chosen to send the same eleven out for the second half and they have started more brightly than they did in the first.
