    Sometimes you have to hold your hands up and say what a good ball it is. It drops into an area that Goldson and McGregor can't do anything about

    Maxime Le Marchand is cautioned for an overly aggressive challenge on Ianis Hagi, leaving something on the Rangers forward after knocking him to the ground.

    That’s Morelos on two assists tonight, the way he peeled off the defender to work the space, excellent from him. We spoke about it earlier, he has that in his locker now to contribute assists.

    We're in for another crazy night!

    A long ball over the top eludes Connor Goldson and Allan McGregor as the Rangers duo crash into each other, allowing Didier Lamkel Ze to nudge the ball on and tap into an empty net.

    Ryan Kent

    Okay, I think we can say Rangers are safely on their way to the last 16.

    Alfredo Morelos skins his man and races into the box from the right before sliding a low cross into the path of Ryan Kent, who finishes first time from eight yards.

    Rangers 2-1 Royal Antwerp (6-4)

    Nathan Patterson needs to get back on the good side of manager Steven Gerrard and a first goal for Rangers is a pretty decent step in the right direction.

    That's football. Patterson missed his opportunity last week when Tavernier got injured but it's presented itself now. I like what Steven Gerrard has done. It's good management

    Fair play to the kid, he's bounced back. That could kick-start his Rangers career. That could keep him in the team for the rest of the season

    Talk about a substitute making an impact!

    Nathan Patterson, in the doghouse not so long ago, has only been on the pitch a matter of seconds as he gallops into the penalty area to fire an angled shot beyond the keeper.
