Former Celtic defender Yuki Kobayashi helped Jagiellonia Białystok secure a 2-1 first-leg victory over Rangers in their Europa League qualifier in Poland. Rangers went ahead after only four minutes through a Guilherme Montóia own goal, but Jagiellonia recovered quickly. Kobayashi then played an important role in keeping Rangers out as the visitors pushed forward after the break. The defender looked far more settled against Rangers, handling the pressure well and helping Jagiellonia stand firm when the visitors increased the tempo. Rangers must now overturn the one-goal deficit in the second leg, while Kobayashi will hope to produce another strong performance on his return to Scotland.
