    Rangers 0-0 Spartak Moscow

    All it needs is a touch... Alfredo Morelos drills a great ball across the six yard box but none of his team-mates can get near it. What he needs is someone doing the same for him.

    Elsewhere in Group G, Villarreal are well on their way to victory over Rapid Vienna. Daniel Raba has just knocked in a fourth goal for the Spaniards, who are heading for five points after three games.

    Daniel Candeias is in the thick of it again, testing Alexandr Maksimenko with a low cross before a follow up shot from Alfredo Morelos is blocked by a defender.

    The Spartak goalkeeper, just 20-years-old, looks in confident mood.

    Rangers 0-0 Spartak Moscow

    Daniel Candeias does well to turn and fire off a raking shot that Alexandr Maksimenko gathers on the stretch.

    The Rangers winger is then booked for catching an opponent on the sole of the boot with a high challenge.

    The visitors threaten for the first time as a Fernando strike nicks off a defender in blue on its way wide. The Brazilian then makes a howling mess of the resultant corner.

  6. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 51 mins

    Rangers 0-0 Spartak Moscow

    Fans cry in vain for a penalty as Ovie Ejaria is taken out after getting a shot away on the edge of the box... Soon after, the ball cracks against the crossbar via a deflected shot from Ryan Jack but the ref's whistle had already gone for an infringement.

    Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos tries his luck with a shot from a tight angle but goalkeeper Alexandr Maksimenko stands firm at his near post.

  8. KICK-OFFpublished at 46 mins

    Rangers 0-0 Spartak Moscow

    We're up and running at Ibrox again. Can the home side keep up the pressure and find a breakthrough goal?

    Spartak, who offered next to nothing in the first half, make a couple of changes with Eremenko and Hanni on for Lomovitsky and Tashaev.

    Roman Eremenko is the younger brother of former Kilmarnock hero Alexei...

    RB Leipzig 2-0 Celtic

    More from Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers on BBC Radio Scotland: "I've seen enough to see we can win the game at home. It's well within our possibilities and that will be our objective come the next game. We've lost two games against three very good sides, sides at Champions League level, but we have three points and we have to look to win our next game at home."

    Even with Rogic, Brown and Forrest they would have had their hands full. It was a tough night and they were lucky enough to get away with 2-0 - it was a great save from Gordon. But it was just another blah performance and exposed Celtic as not good enough at Europa League level.

  11. Celtic 'didn't defend well enough'published at 20:58 British Summer Time 25 October 2018

    FT: RB Leipzig 2-0 Celtic

    It's a familiar story for Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, who says: "We started the game well and imposed our style. We had a great chance with Odsonne Edouard but then we had periods where we made mistakes, which knocked us for for five or 10 minutes.

    "We regrouped in the second half and had chances when we could have got it to 2-1 but we didn't get the goal at key moments in the game and didn't defend well enough."

    HT: Rangers 0-0 Spartak Moscow

    Almost 64% possession for the home side, while it's 4-0 in terms of shots but only one of those was on target.

  13. HALF-TIME Rangers 0-0 Spartak Moscowpublished at 45 mins

    There has been a lot of huff and puff from Rangers but not so much craft as the first 45 minutes whizzed by in a frenzy of home attacks but goalkeeper Alexandr Maksimenko hasn't really been tested.

    Rangers 0-0 Spartak Moscow

    Referee Kevin Blom finally produces a yellow card after a terrible challenge from Fernando on Daniel Candeias.

    We get some pushing and shoving and suddenly another booking appears for Alfredo Morelos as a Spartak player goes down in a heap.

    A lovely dip of the shoulder from Ryan Kent leaves his marker for dead but the winger's shot from distance drifts straight into the arms of goalkeeper Alexandr Maksimenko.

    Rangers 0-0 Spartak Moscow

    Ovie Ejaria shows good tenacity to win the ball back after a sloppy touch and his cross for Daniel Candeias at the back post needs a touch from a defender to avert the danger.

    Blue shirts flood forward from defending a corner but again it all breaks down near the Spartak Moscow penalty box. Are the home side in too much of a rush?

    Rangers 0-0 Spartak Moscow

    Remarkable lenience from Dutch referee Kevin Blom, who lets a hack at Alfredo Morelos from Alexandr Lomovitskiy slide without reaching for his yellow card.

    Blom was the man who gave the Czech Republic a very dodgy penalty at Hampden a few years back, costing Scotland a play-off place for Euro 2012.

    That's better from Daniel Candeias, who whips in a beauty of a cross from the right touchline and goalkeeper Aleksandr Maksimenko has to claw it away as it bounces awkwardly in front of him.
