PSV and Rangers draw 0-0 in Europa League

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands (AP) — Rangers and PSV Eindhoven played out a 0-0 draw in the first leg of the Europa League's round of 16 on Thursday.

Goalkeeper Neil Alexander stopped Marcus Berg's 15th-minute strike after the Sweden forward was put through by compatriot Ola Toivonen.

Defender Marcelo headed Balszs Dzsudzsak's curling cross wide in the 70th, wasting his side's best chance.

El Hadji Diouf played alone up front for Rangers, which rarely threatened. Defender Kyle Bartley's blocked second-half header off Hadji Diouf's corner was Rangers' only real chance of the game.

Rangers welcomes PSV at Ibrox next Thursday.
