Rangers will take a two-goal lead to Slovenia after seeing off Maribor in the first leg of their Europa League qualifying encounter.
Alfredo Morelos proved the difference as Rangers secured a valuable 3-1 first-leg advantage over Maribor in the Europa League third qualifying round.
The Colombian striker scored the opener and won the penalty for James Tavernier's second-half spot-kick before Lassana Coulibaly capped off a victory that puts Steven Gerrard's men in the driving seat for next Thursday's return clash.
Rangers, however, will have to avoid a stumble in Slovenia after giving up an away goal in the shape of Mitja Viler's 40th-minute equaliser.
