    The visitors have to go for it now and that should leave a few gaps for Rangers to exploit.

    I was just thinking Kent was having a quiet game and here he is setting up a brilliant goal. Morelos makes a great unselfish run and Arfield makes a difficult finish look easy

    Scott Arfield

    Well, that makes progress to the last 32 even more likely as Rangers go in front for the first time.

    Ryan Kent steams into the penalty area down the left and does very well to cut the ball back for Scott Arfield, who slams the ball home first-time from 15 yards.

    It's now 3-0 to Benfica...

    That game looks well and truly over, so as long as Rangers don't lose they are going through.

    Rangers 2-2 Standard Liege

    It's similar to the start of the first half, with Standard Liege in a hurry to get forward and Rangers guilty of giving the ball away rather easily.

  10. 'Celtic not physical enough in the tackle' - Lennonpublished at 20:58 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2020

    FT: AC Milan 4-2 Celtic

    Celtic manager Neil Lennon has given his reaction to the 4-2 defeat in Milan.

    "I was delighted with a lot of aspects of our play tonight," he said.

    "The third and fourth goals from our point of view are poor. Even at 3-2 I thought we were always in the game, and [Gianluigi] Donnarumma, he’s made a great save from Christie from the free-kick, we looked a threat all night.

    "But we’ve let ourselves down in not being physical enough in the tackle at times.

    "It’s not as if we were cut open, we have plenty of players back to deal with it and we don’t, so that’s the way the game went. That’s where the tie was lost really."

  12. HALF-TIME Rangers 2-2 Standard Liegepublished at 20:49 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2020

    The Belgian side are complaining to the officials as the players make their way down the tunnel. They are fuming about that spot-kick.

    Twice Rangers have fallen behind and twice they have come back; from a corner and a penalty.

    The home side have not been at their best but they are in a good position for the second half.

    I think that's a very harsh handball. Where is he supposed to put his arm? Rangers are very fortunate to get a penalty

  15. PENALTY TO RANGERSpublished at 20:45 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2020

    Rangers 1-2 Standard Liege

    Handball... Kemar Roofe finds room to squeeze off a shot and it strikes the arm of the defender sliding in to block.

    The referee points for a corner as the keeper pushes the ball wide but then has a change of heart after a word in his ear from somewhere.

    Fai impressed my in the reverse fixture and it's his cross again. The ball in is perfect between the defenders and goalkeeper. That's devastating for Rangers having just got back into it.

    Duje Cop

    The visitors hit back straight away and there are shades of the opening goal as Rangers are undone by a flashing cross, this time from the right, and Duje Cop arrives at the back post to convert from inches out.

    Then he clatters into the post. Ouch!

    It's a brilliant ball from Barisic. Goldson just drops his marker and he generates some amount of power with the header, sending it back the way it came. No chance for the keeper

    A thumping header from Connor Goldson draws Rangers level.

    The central defender is left all alone as Borna Barisic pings over a corner and he steers the ball away from the diving keeper with power and accuracy.
