The decision that all Dortmund fans have been waiting for has been made.
BVB has to go to Glasgow without its superstar Erling Haaland (21/market value EUR 150 million) to catch up with the euro.
Because the Norwegian (20 games, 23 goals for BVB in all competitions this season) is still unable to sprint and shoot properly after a muscle fiber tear, coach Marco Rose (45) left him at home. Now he should continue to work on his comeback in order to be able to play in Augsburg (5.30 p.m.) on Sunday.
But what happened shortly after this decision? Curious smuggler departure from Haaland!
While his teammates were on their way to Scotland, Haaland was working on the training ground on Wednesday morning. His uncle Ivar took him there and picked him up in the black Mercedes SUV at 1:32 p.m. Haaland did not want to be seen. He hid under a blanket in the back seat of the car, but still raised his hand to wave.

The Haaland knockout for Glasgow is particularly bitter for BVB. Because now Marco Rose’s team has to turn the 2: 4 swatter without their goal machine.
A 2-goal advantage is enough for the Black and Yellows to make it to extra time. If they had a three-goal lead, they would have gone straight through. The away goals rule was abolished this season.
Gives hope: She proved that she can do it without Haaland in the 6-0 win against Gladbach on Sunday. First and foremost: Captain Marco Reus (32), who alone managed to score 5 points.
By the way, BVB filmed the last Scottish duel! After losing 2-0 in Glasgow in the Uefa Cup (99/00 season), Borussia equalized in the second leg – and won 5-1 on penalties. By the way: Rangers coach van Bronckhorst missed a penalty at the time.
