    Thanks for your company on an eventful and successful evening for Rangers and Celtic.

    Remember, the draw for the Europa League groups starts at noon tomorrow and we'll have that covered across the BBC.

    There won't be too much time to dwell on continental opponents though, with the Glasgow rivals going head-to-head at Ibrox on Sunday.

    Roll on the weekend...

    FT: AIK 1-4 Celtic (1-6)

    Earlier this evening, Celtic showed how deadly they can be on the break with a demolition job in Sweden.

    Christopher Jullien and Lewis Morgan were both scored their first goals for the club.

  4. Gone to pot with pot predictions...published at 22:11 British Summer Time 29 August 2019

    In all the excitement, it looks like I jumped the gun with those Europa League pots. Rangers are almost certainly in pot four, not three like I said earlier.

    Anyhoo, I'm sure fans are just happy to be there again.

    Still pot two for Celtic.

  5. Boruc back in townpublished at 22:07 British Summer Time 29 August 2019

    FT: Rangers 1-0 Legia Warsaw (1-0)

    Ex-Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc appeared to be in the away end at Ibrox tonight but, if it is him, he'll be going back home to Bournemouth disappointed after seeing another of his former clubs lose out.

    Legia had a few moments but didn't really look like beating Allan McGregor.

  6. Europa League draw on Fridaypublished at 21:58 British Summer Time 29 August 2019

    The draw for the Europa League groups is tomorrow from noon. It looks like Celtic are in pot two, with Rangers in pot three, although that has not been officially confirmed yet.

    There are some tasty teams in pot one, including Arsenal, Manchester United, Sevilla, Roma and Lazio.

    Wolves will be in pot three by the looks of it.

  7. Gerrard jumping for joypublished at 21:53 British Summer Time 29 August 2019

    FT: Rangers 1-0 Legia Warsaw (1-0)

    Steven Gerrard has had a few memorable nights in Europe and it looks like this is right up there for the Rangers manager...

    This was his 22nd Europa League tie in his time at Ibrox and he's only been on the losing side twice.

  8. Thursday Night Lightspublished at 21:50 British Summer Time 29 August 2019

    It's been quite an evening, with Rangers leaving it very late to find a dramatic winner and Celtic romping to victory in Sweden.

    That means there will be a few more Thursday nights like this to come over the coming months, with the Glasgow rivals progressing to the Europa League group phase for the second successive season.

  10. FULL-TIME Rangers 1-0 Legia Warsaw (1-0)published at 21:41 British Summer Time 29 August 2019

    Steven Gerrard said it would go the wire and he was absolutely spot on. On a nerve-shredding evening at Ibrox, Alfredo Morelos had a couple of bad misses but made up for them with a stoppage-time winner that sends Rangers into the Europa League group stage.

    A couple more minutes of the six added on to go... Sheyi Ojo takes his sweet time going off as Rangers eat up valuable seconds to send on Glen Kamara.

    Rangers 1-0 Legia Warsaw (1-0)

    Deep into stoppage-time as tempers fray, with some pushing and shoving going on. The referee moves quickly to defuse the situation, flashing yellow cards at Jordan Jones and a Legia player - not sure which one.

    Rangers 0-0 Legia Warsaw (0-0)

    Sheyi Ojo jinks away from two opponents and cracks in a shot from the edge of the box but Radoslaw Majecki is again equal to it, making a tricky save look easy.

    Rangers 0-0 Legia Warsaw (0-0)

    Corner to Rangers and Nikola Katic comes steaming in to meet the delivery from James Tavernier. Plenty of power but no direction as the ball flies high over the crossbar.

    Around three minutes of regulation time left...

    Now Allan McGregor has to tip over a looping deflection as the visitors enjoy a wee spell of pressure. From the corner, Soares Martins hammers a dipping shot over the top.

  18. Ten to gopublished at 21:26 British Summer Time 29 August 2019

    Rangers 0-0 Legia Warsaw (0-0)

    Ten minutes to go now... Free kick to Legia about 30 yards out. It's floated into a busy penalty area but Rangers see it off without too much fuss.

    How are the nerves?
