dailyrecord.co.uk:

Dynamo Kyiv battered Partizan Belgrade to set up a Champions League showdown with Rangers.The Ukrainian giants had the job done after the first leg of their second round qualifier, taking out their anger and hitting Partizan for six in Poland.

Prior to the first meeting, Dynamo were left seething after their opponents had jetted out to Russia for a pre-season "brotherhood" tournament.

Given the Russian invasion of Ukraine, that did not go down well with Dynamo and boss Oleksandr Shovkovskyi confirmed that they would absolutely not be indulging in the usual UEFA pre-match niceties such as handshakes.And it was the sorry Serbs who were left shellshocked after a 6-2 drubbing, ultimately ending their hopes progressing to face Phillippe Clement's side at the half-way stage.

And two-time European Cup winners Kiev rubbed further salt in the wounds in the second leg, adding further gloss toe the scoreline with a 3-0 win thanks to goals from Andriy Yarmolenko, Vladyslav Vanat and Oleksandr Karavayev, making it an embarrassing 9-2 aggregate defeat Aleksandar Stanojevic's side.They will now take on the Scottish Premiership runners up for a place in the playoff round.
