  2. Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers (17:45)

    Kemar Roofe's chip over the home defence gives fellow striker Fashion Sakala a chance to run in on goal, but goalkeeper Florin Nita comes out and emerges with the ball after a clash of bodies on the edge of the penalty box.

  3. 'Nature of game won't suit Rangers'

    Richard Foster
    Former Rangers defender on BBC Scotland

    Bassey's had a couple of unsure moments. The pace of the game has certainly lifted and I don't think this end-to-end nature will suit Rangers

  4. GREAT SAVE!

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Allan McGregor to Rangers' rescue again as their makeshift central defence continues to creak.

    It's Lukas Haraslín, the winger on loan from Serie A club Sassuolo, again with the chance and he follows his strike against the bar with a shot against the goalkeeper's legs.

  5. 'Shot in the arm for Rangers'

    Charlie Adam
    Former Rangers midfielder on BBC Radio Scotland

    Maybe it will take something like Sparta missing that chance to ignite Rangers. They've really got away with something there

  6. Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    It's been an all-action start to the second half and Sparta striker Martin Minchev should do better than fire into the side-netting.

  7. DISALLOWED GOAL

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Fashion Sakala has the ball in the net for Rangers, but the striker is clearly offside as he pounces after goalkeeper Florin Nita scoops a Leon Balogun header off the line.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    How did he miss that?

    Sparta should be further ahead as Rangers' defence in split apart straight from the restart.

    Lukas Haraslín is set up with the goal at his mercy by fellow winger Adam Hlozek but fires against the crossbar.

  9. KICK-OFF

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    We're off again in Prague. Can Rangers come back...

  10. Kygo and McGregor start for Celtic

  11. All square in France

    HT: Lyon 0-0 Brondby

    In tonight's other Group A game isn't going to plan for Rangers either.

    The Scots would probably prefer group favourites Lyon to win so to give themselves a better chance of clinching a runners-up spot.

    But fourth seeds Brondby are currently holding their hosts to a goalless draw in France.

  12. 'Rangers fine box-to-box'

    HT: Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Charlie Adam
    Former Rangers midfielder on BBC Radio Scotland

    Rangers have been alright 18-yard line to 18-yard line. They just couldn't defend when it mattered in their box or find that final ball in Sparta's

  13. Cutting edge lacking from Rangers

    HT: Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Mark Hateley
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    I thought Rangers played well. They took the game to Sparta in an energetic fashion. Rangers just didn't make the most of what they've created, which has been a theme this season in the final third

  14. HALF-TIME Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    David Hancko obviously likes playing Scottish sides, the centre-half having scored against Celtic last season and this time heading Sparta into the lead confirmed by goal-line technology as goalkeeper Allan McGregor scooped it clear.

    Rangers have it all to do if they are not to start the Europa League group stage with two defeats.

  15. YELLOW CARD Tomas Wiesner (Sparta Prague)

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Having received a booking, Glen Kamara is the victim of a foul by Tomas Wiesner that leads to a yellow card for the Sparta defender.

  16. YELLOW CARD Glen Kamara (Rangers)

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Glen Kamara is booked for a foul on Michal Sacek.

  17. Blow for Bacuna

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Charlie Adam
    Former Rangers midfielder on BBC Radio Scotland

    Bacuna's waited for his chance and this was his big opportunity. It's a blow for him in his first start and hopefully he'll be back soon

  18. Hagi replaces Bacuna

    Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    Juninho Bacuna's first start lasts short of 45 minutes as the former Huddersfield Town midfielder comes off with what looks like a thigh knock, probably picked up conceding that last free-kick.

    On comes Ianis Hagi. The Romania international is certainly a quality replacement.

  19. Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    A free-kick curled into the penalty box has Rangers in all sorts of problems before Calvin Bassey ends the pinball with a desperate clearance.

  20. Sparta Prague 1-0 Rangers

    The young home fans are in good voice now, the high pitch of their cries competing with the referee's whistle.

    Rangers are looking to silence them quickly, but Sparta are holding firm - and on to their lead.
