  1. Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Rangers force a couple of corners as they desperately push for that equaliser, but the danger ends when Ianis Hagi concedes a foul.

  2. Rangers defence 'a mish-mash'

    Richard Foster
    Former Rangers defender on BBC Scotland

    Rangers are still playing a high line, trying to catch them offside, but they're not in a line. It's so disjointed. Tonight, the back line has been a bit of a mish-mash of everything

  3. Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    It's Rangers' turn to threaten as Fashion Sakala's shot is parried clear by goalkeeper Florin Nita and James Tavernier's hitch-kick flies wide from eight yards.

    However, the offside flag was up in any case.

  4. Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    As we enter four minutes of stoppage time, Michal Sacek has a big chance to stretch the home side's lead as he slides in.

    But the midfielder's stabbed effort flies wide.

  5. Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    James Tavernier so nearly lives up to his captain fantastic tag as he weaves into the Sparta penalty box, but the right-back's cut back is intercepted and the danger is gone.

  6. Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Time is fast running out for Rangers.

    The 10 men are having plenty of possession, but they can't make any inroads into a packed home defence.

  7. All to do for Rangers

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Charlie Adam
    Former Rangers midfielder on BBC Radio Scotland

    Lyon away is the last game in the group for Rangers. They have to be looking at winning the next three in a row now

  8. Favourites in control

    Lyon 2-0 Brondby

    In case you are wondering how the other Group A game is going, well favourites Lyon have come good after the break.

    Two goals in seven minutes from Cameroon striker Karl Toko Ekambi have the French side in control against Brondby.

  9. 'Rangers haven't worked the keeper enough'

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Mark Hateley
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    We still don't know if the Sparta goalie is a good keeper, that's the way I look at it. We know McGregor is because he's kept his team in it tonight. Rangers haven't made theirs work enough

  10. Former Killie man on for Sparta

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    By the way, former Kilmarnock and Sunderland winger David Moberg Karlsson came on a few moments ago for Lukas Haraslin, who could have extended Sparta's lead but missed a couple of good chances.

  11. Hope for Rangers?

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Charlie Adam
    Former Rangers midfielder on BBC Radio Scotland

    Sparta have a big derby this weekend, so they may rest a few players as the game draws to a close. Rangers will try to take advantage of that

  12. Lundstram for Aribo

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Another change for Rangers as John Lundstram replaces Joe Aribo in midfield, with Ianis Hagi being pushed further upfield in search of an equaliser.

  13. 'It's nothing'

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Mark Hateley
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    It's nothing. It's not an elbow. His face has gone to Kamara's hand

  14. RED CARD Glen Kamara (Rangers)

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    It's getting worse for Rangers and Glen Kamara is again the centre of attention against a team from Prague.

    After being racially abused against Slavia last season, the midfielder has also been booed tonight, and now he is shown a second yellow card for leading with an elbow on Michal Sacek.

    It leaves Rangers even more up against it now.

  15. Postecoglou prepares

    Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has just walked up the tunnel to lots of applause and cheers from the smattering of Celtic fans who have taken their seats early.

    Despite a recent tricky spell, he's a very popular man. The Australian posed for a couple of quick photos before disappearing towards the dressing room.

  16. YELLOW CARD Lukas Haraslin (Sparta Prague)

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    The bookings are coming thick and fast now and winger Lukas Haraslin is next after nearly pulling the shirt off Rangers captain James Tavernier.

  17. Drchal for Minchev up front for Sparta

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Martin Minchev was a surprise starter up front for Sparta and the 20-year-old Bulgarian makes way for the man he replaced - Vaclav Drchal.

  18. Sakala and Morelos can combine well

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Charlie Adam
    Former Rangers midfielder on BBC Radio Scotland

    I still think Sakala can lend that hand in behind better than Roofe. Hopefully, him and Morelos can do something. They should create space well for each other

  19. YELLOW CARD Fashion Sakala (Rangers)

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    A late stamp on the foot of defender Ondrej Celustka and Rangers striker Fashion Sakala is next to go into the referee's book.

  20. Morelos for Roofe

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Rangers boss Steven Gerrard restores Alfredo Morelos to the front line.

    The Colombian was dropped to the bench for Fashion Sakala but once again he is being asked to make his mark in European football.

    Kemar Roofe makes way.
