10-man Rangers hold Athletic, Bodo defeat Lazio

Athletic Bilbao are desperate to go all the way to this season's Europa League final, which will take place in their own San Mames stadium next month.

They could not take advantage of the fact they played most of Thursday's quarter-final first leg away to Rangers with an extra man, however, as the match in Glasgow ended 0-0.

Rangers were reduced to 10 men after just 13 minutes when defender Robin Proepper was shown a red card following a VAR review for a last-man foul on Inaki Williams on the edge of the box.

The Scottish side nevertheless held firm and goalkeeper Liam Kelly, selected ahead of Jack Butland, saved a late Alex Berenguer penalty, awarded following another VAR intervention, this time for a Dujon Sterling handball.

The winner of that tie will face either Lyon or Manchester United in the semi-finals, while Frankfurt or Tottenham will meet Bodo/Glimt or Lazio in the last four.

Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt are well placed to reach a first European semi-final after beating Lazio 2-0 at home on Thursday.

Snow had to be cleared from the pitch earlier in the day before two goals by Ulrik Saltnes, either side of half-time, gave the hosts the victory.
