  1. Rangers need 'a solid unit'

    HT: Ufa 1-1 Rangers (1-2)

    Billy Dodds
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    Rangers are playing with a midfield five now. They’ll have to focus defensively. They were looking vulnerable before the red card. They now need to group together to be a solid unit

  2. HALF-TIME Ufa 1-1 Rangers (1-2)

    It was all looking so good when Ovie Ejaria curled in a wonderful opening goal.

    However, that equaliser and a bonkers red card for Alfredo Morelos make for a different story at half-time.

    Ufa need two goals to go through but the home side had their tails up before the half-time whistle and it could be a long second half for the 10 men of Rangers.

  3. Ufa 1-1 Rangers (1-2)

    Dmitri Sysuev is at it again, standing up a cross for Sylvester Igboun at the back post but the Nigerian striker can only head into the side-netting. A let-off for the 10 men.

  4. Ufa 1-1 Rangers (1-2)

    Ufa goalscorer Dmitri Sysuev is a lively character. This time he pops up on the right edge of the box before slashing a shot wide.

  5. Ufa 1-1 Rangers (1-2)

    Steven Gerrard is resisting the temptation to throw on another defender. Rangers just need to get to half-time and then the manager can have a re-think.

  6. 'So petulant' from Morelos

    Ufa 1-1 Rangers (1-2)

    Steven Thompson
    Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound

    I'm gobsmacked. What is he doing? That is so petulant and avoidable. He’s given the opportunity to the referee to send him off. It’s completely needless.

  7. RED CARD - Morelos (Rangers)

    Ufa 1-1 Rangers (1-2)

    Madness... Alfredo Morelos picks up two yellow cards, one immediately after the other, the second coming for something he said to referee Tobias Stieler, the first for booting the ball away.

  8. Ufa 1-1 Rangers (1-2)

    Here come Ufa again with Dmitri Sysuev racing down the right and fizzing the ball across goal. It needs a touch from Connor Goldson to prevent a player in red knocking it into the net at the back post.

  9. 'Poor defending from Rangers'

    Ufa 1-1 Rangers (1-2)

    Steven Thompson
    Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound

    The back four have not stepped up in unison. One ball over the top should not put a player through on goal. It’s poor defending from Rangers.

  10. goal

    GOAL Ufa 1-1 Rangers (1-2)

    Dmitri Sysuev

    With a static Rangers rearguard appealing for offside, Dmitri Sysuev races on to a long ball and shows good composure to run on and blast an angled shot past Allan McGregor.

  11. CLOSE!

    Ufa 0-1 Rangers (0-2)

    Almost a second goal for Ovie Ejaria as he collects a return pass from Alfredo Morelos and opens up his body for a shot from 18 yards. It takes a slight deflection and slides just wide.

  12. Ufa 0-1 Rangers (0-2)

    Fantastic defending from Connor Goldson as the Rangers centre-half plunges into a goal-saving challenge inside the six-yard box, denying Dimitri Sysuev.

  13. Ufa 0-1 Rangers (0-2)

    Good hustle from an isolated Alfredo Morelos, who smashes a shot at a defender and wins his team a corner. The Ufa keeper gathers the delivery under little pressure...

  14. Ufa 0-1 Rangers (0-2)

    The Russians repel a James Tavernier free kick and they can't break from their own half, with their passing letting them down.

  15. Ufa 0-1 Rangers (0-2)

    Rangers have been very comfortable so far as a counter-attack culminates in Alfredo Morelos shooting wide.

  16. YELLOW CARD - Flanagan (Rangers)

    Ufa 0-1 Rangers (0-1)

    Jon Flanagan is penalised for a foul on Igboun. Rangers see off the resultant free-kick with the minimum of fuss as Vanek shoots wide from a headed clearance.

  17. 'An outstanding finish'

    Ufa 0-1 Rangers (0-2)

    Steven Thompson
    Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound

    That’s an outstanding finish from Ejaria. He’s taken it out of his feet at a really tough angle and bent it round the defender with pace into the top corner.

  18. Ufa 0-1 Rangers (0-2)

    The home side need three goals now and they are looking decidedly ragged at the moment as Rangers knock the ball around confidently.

  19. goal

    GOAL Ufa 0-1 Rangers (0-2)

    Ovie Ejaria

    A dream start for Rangers.

    The ball breaks to Ovie Ejaria on the left edge of the penalty area and the on-loan Liverpool midfielder curls a peach of a strike high into the opposite corner of the net.

  20. Ufa 0-0 Rangers (0-1)

    The visitors win the first corner of the game, with Scott Arfield to deliver. The big men are up from the back but the home side deal with it.
