    I'm so frustrated and deflated after that. Rangers were so far in front and in control. Slackness creeped into their game which lead to the second goal and you were always worried that they could concede again.

  3. FULL-TIME Benfica 3-3 Rangerspublished at 19:47

    What a game in Lisbon. From conceding an own goal in the opening minute through Connor Goldson, Rangers came roaring back to lead 3-1 against the 10-man Portuguese and seemingly coasting.

    But two late Benfica goals ensured a share of the spoils for the two top sides in Group D.

    Not to mention, Alfredo Morelos breaking Ally McCoist's European scoring record.

    A pulsating night of Europa League action at a sodden Estádio da Luz.

    Over the last 10 minutes Rangers have become slack because of how easy it's been. It [the Benfica goal] shouldn't happen Rangers were in total control. Steven Gerrard will be so angry.

    Hang on a minute. The hosts pull one back as they capitalise on a rare Rangers defensive lap since the break.

    Rafa Silva makes Filip Helander pay for sluggish play inside the area to rifle home.

    Scott Arfield is so clever there. He stands offside and waits for the Benfica defence to drop so he can play the quick one-two. If James Tavernier had a better touch it's 4-1. It's five-a-side stuff from Rangers out there.

  16. CLOSE!published at 67 mins

    Benfica 1-3 Rangers

    Benfica boss Jorge Jesus will feel like pulling his hood over his face as Rangers are shredding the Portuguese defence with consummate ease.

    Ryan Kent is the latest threat to 10-man Benfica as the winger slaloms forward before arrowing a shot inches wide.

    The visitors are aiming to score a fourth on the night in Lisbon.

    Ryan Kent must be thinking what have I got to do to score? He just didn't get enough shape on it to bring it inside the post. Alfredo Morelos again did brilliantly with the ball inside.

  18. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 63 mins

    Benfica 1-3 Rangers

    The width of the post spares further Benfica blood-letting as Ryan Kent looks to finish a superb passing move. But the winger sees his effort clip the outside of the post amid statuesque Portuguese defending.

    It looks like a matter of when, not if, Rangers add to their commanding lead.

    Celtic's confidence is up after that result at the weekend. There are a number of players in the side that can score goals. Celtic will need to press Sparta and impose themselves on the game early.
