Former Rangers striker on TNT Sports
I think the fans have taken to Danny Rohl, and the performances have improved.
Not massively, but there is improvement there.

Rangers 0-0 Roma
James Tavernier, playing right side of a back three tonight, equals Andreas Ulmer’s Europa League record for most games played for a single club.
Ulmer played 61 times for RB Salzburg, with Tavernier also on 61 now.

BBC Scotland at Ibrox
That is one of the best tifos I've ever seen.
A giant Roman gladiator, with the Rangers crest on his shield, hangs magnificently from the Copland Stand.
Fair play to the Rangers support who organised that. The rest of the stadium is pretty full, too.
There's just a section of the upper Broomloan shut, closed for segregation purposes above the sizeable Roma travelling support.

BBC Scotland at IbroxPop quiz. Name the last player to score for Rangers in a home win over Italian opposition...
You have to go back 26 years.
August 1999. Rangers 2-0 Parma in a Champions League qualifier.
Tony Vidmar got the first. The victory was secured by Claudio Reyna.
Everyone at Ibrox tonight would bite your hand off for a similar scoreline against Roma.
A desperate shellacking for Celticpublished at 19:55 GMT
FT: Midtjylland 3-1 Celtic
Tom English
BBC Scotland chief sports writerMidtjylland had 23 attempts on goal with 12 on target. That's mortifying for Celtic. They were lacking fight and belief, no aggression.
In its own way, this was as bad, if not worse, than the desperate European hidings under Brendan Rodgers.
At least you could say that PSG and Barcelona had world class running throughout their team and that Atletico Madrid and Dortmund were outstanding.
You couldn't say the same about Midtjylland. They're good but hardly great. This was feeble.

Djiga starting again, just simply wow. Unbelievable - must be in his contract that he starts every game because it simply can't be for his performances.

Rangers v Roma (20:00)
Roma have only played one Scottish side previously - beating Dundee United 3-2 on aggregate in a European Cup semi-final in 1984 despite losing the first leg 2-0 at Tannadice.
Rangers' most recent meeting with an Italian side came in the Champions League in 2022, when they lost 3-0 home and away to Napoli.
Gassama & Moore start amid four Rangers changespublished at 19:50 GMT
Rangers v Roma (20:00)
Danny Rohl makes four changes to the Rangers team that started Sunday's semi-final defeat.
In come Max Aarons, Connor Barron, Mikey Moore and Djeidi Gassama, with Derek Cornelius, Mohamed Diomande, Thelo Aasgaard and Danilo making way.
Roma have plenty of quality in their side but are without three key players.
On-loan Brighton striker Evan Ferguson, Argentina forward Paulo Dybala and former Manchester City full-back Angelino are all out.

Midtjylland were impressive, full of intent and talent. That's now four wins from four in the Europa League for them.
It's back to drawing board for Celtic. A poor night in Europe.

Match Facts
This is the first ever meeting between Rangers and Roma in European competition – the Gers have failed to score in their last four major European games against Italian sides (D2 L2) since a 3-2 win over Livorno in October 2006.
Roma last met Scottish opponents in Europe back in April 1984, facing Dundee United in the European Cup semi-final. After losing the first leg 2-0, they won 3-0 in the second leg to progress 3-2 on aggregate.
Rangers have lost their last six European matches (inc. qualifiers), their joint worst ever losing run in Europe. The only two Scottish clubs to lose more in a row are Hibernian (seven between 2008 and 2016) and Motherwell (eight between 2010 and 2013).
Roma have lost their last two UEFA Europa League matches but haven’t lost three major European matches in a row since September 2010, while in the same season they last did so in September/October in the 2004-05 UEFA Champions League.
James Tavernier’s next UEFA Europa League appearance will see him equal Andreas Ulmer’s record for games played for a single club – Ulmer played 61 times for FC RB Salzburg, with Tavernier on 60 games for Rangers currently.
