Rangers 2-2 PSV: Obispo denies Van Bronckhorst´s side after Benitez howler at Ibrox

Armando Obispo s header denied Rangers as they were held to a 2-2 draw by PSV in the first leg of their Champions League play-off tie at Ibrox.

Seeking a first group-stage appearance in four years, Ruud van Nistelrooy s side took a 37th-minute lead as Ibrahim Sangare scooped the ball home after Rangers failed to deal with a corner.

But the hosts responded within three minutes following a neat one-touch move that culminated in Antonio Colak sweeping home his fourth goal in as many matches.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst s men edged ahead in fortuitous circumstances 20 minutes from time; Walter Benitez fumbling Tom Lawrence s ambitious free-kick into his own net.

However, Obispo levelled matters eight minutes later when he headed in Cody Gakpo s corner to leave the tie finely poised ahead of the second leg in Eindhoven next week.
