Quote MessageAs much possession as Leverkusen had, they aren't camped around the box - they are playing from pretty deep. Steven Gerrard would have been pretty pleased with how his side are going about their business. Allan McGregor has only made one comfortable save except the penalty.

It clearly hits Jonathan Tah in the back.

Quote MessageIt was going to plan for Rangers - they would have expected not to dominate possession. Then they lose the penalty, it is a penalty, even though it brushes Edmundson's chest first. I wouldn't be changing tactics too quickly though. I'd say same again after the break.

Scotland's football authorities will "enter discussions" with the Scottish government before deciding whether to postpone matches.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon advised on Thursday that gatherings of more than 500 people should be cancelled from next week to free up emergency services to deal with the coronavirus outbreak.
A joint statement from the SPFL and Scottish FA said this weekend's fixtures - including Sunday's Old Firm derby - will continue as planned.
Rangers will have been really pleased with the first 35 minutes from a defensive point of view. But after George Edmundson's handball was the subject of a VAR check and a penalty was awarded, Kai Havertz coolly gave the visitors the lead from the spot.
It's a really big test for Rangers now. Can they respond?
Rangers 0-1 Bayer Leverkusen
Rangers need to find some composure on the ball. Glen Kamara mis-controls into touch, and there are groans around the ground.
They still look decent without the ball, but they need to step up when they have it.
Rangers 0-1 Bayer Leverkusen
Can Rangers respond? Remember, they were 2-0 down at home to Braga after nearly an hour.
They're screaming for a penalty now as James Tavernier's free-kick comes into the box. But TV replays clearly show the ball has hit Jonathan Tah in the back.

Quote MessageIt's a really cool penalty - his head is up and watches where Allan McGregor goes. He's almost meandering up to the ball - he was so composed
Kai Havertz (penalty)
He's not one of the most highly-rated players in Europe for nothing. Leverkusen captain Havertz rolls the ball straight down the middle. A sucker punch for Rangers.
Rangers 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen
Charles Aranguiz crosses the ball, and it hits George Edmundson's hand as he raised it up towards his shoulder. Harsh. But those are the rules now.
Rangers 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen
The referee is going to look at the monitor...

Potential handball check in the box here against Rangers...
It looks to have hit George Edmundson's hand.

The Leverkusen midfielder will also now miss the second leg after tripping Glen Kamara.
Here come Rangers, they're being roared on by the home support as they show some more life going forward. Nothing substantial yet, though.
Rangers 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen
In response to that lopsided passing stat below, I should add that most of those 200 Leverkusen passes have been pretty harmless.
Rangers have been solid in their shape.
Rangers 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen
Ryan Kent goes on a jaunt down the middle of the pitch and is bundled to the deck, but no free-kick. The Ibrox crowd does not agree with that decision...

Quote MessageBorna Barisic has to concentrate - they might not be able to get many chances in areas like that in the match. When you get situations like that the delivery needs to be better
