Stuttgart 1-1 Rangers: midfielder Steven Davis tries to evade Stuttgart's Thomas Hitzlsperger and Cacau as Rangers struggle in the early stages of their first Group G match in Germany
In only his second start for the club Rangers' on-loan midfielder Jerome Rothen, who played in the 2004 Champions League final for Monaco, is policed effectively by Hitzlsperger and Arthur Boka
Walter Smith's men hold their own until the 18th minute when a slip by full-back Sasa Papac allows Cacau to race down the right and set up Russia striker Pavel Pogrebnyak to give Stuttgart the lead from 10 yards
Rangers players are dejected after they are undone by Stuttgart, who look capable of inflicting on Rangers a seventh straight competitive defeat on German soil
Pogrebnyak and the goal's architect Cacau receive the plaudits of their team-mates, but although Stuttgart dominate the rest of the half they are unable to increase their lead and Rangers are still in the game
The determination is etched on Lee McCulloch's face as he challenges Pogrebnyak and Rangers up their game in the second period. MCulloch started instead of injured captain David Weir in central defence
