  1. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Rangers 2-0 Brondby

    Rangers continue to probe for openings and Alfredo Morelos is so close as his low, curling shot from the right edge of the box slaps against the far post.

  2. 'More goals in this for Rangers'

    Rangers 2-0 Brondby

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer on Sportsound

    Brondby look like a wishy-washy team. Plenty teams in the Premiership would give Rangers a tougher game than this. I think there are more goals in this for Rangers, they've grown into the game and have a bit of confidence

  3. YELLOW CARD Frendrup (Brondby)

    Rangers 2-0 Brondby

    All of the action is in the Brondby half and the pressure tells as Morten Frendrup is caution for a late hack at Ianis Hagi.

  4. Hats off to VAR

    Rangers 2-0 Brondby

    We've just been given another look at the VAR replays, with the line across the screen thing and the defender's trailing left leg is level with Kemar Roofe's leading arm.

    Just as well the striker knocked the rebound in. For a second it looked like he might not bother...

  5. 'Roofe looks wrong side'

    Rangers 2-0 Brondby

    Richard Foster
    Former Rangers defender on Sportsound

    It's great for Rangers but, in that situation, Roofe looks the wrong side of the defender

  6. Rangers 2-0 Brondby

    Alfredo Morelos has a pop from 20 yards, with Thomas Mikkelsen making the save.

  8. DISALLOWED GOAL - or is it?

    Rangers 1-0 Brondby

    Alfredo Morelos looks certain to score as he meets a great, dinked delivery from Joe Aribo but he heads straight at the keeper.

    The ball is clawed out for Kemar Roofe to prod into an empty net but the flag goes up.

    Oh wait, Mr VAR is having a look...

  9. YELLOW CARD Lundstram (Rangers)

    Rangers 1-0 Brondby

    A booking for a bit of back chat after disputing a throw-in.

  10. Rangers 1-0 Brondby

    The Danes create their best chance as a pull-back from the byeline falls perfectly for striker Andrija Pavlovic but he smashes his first-time shot high and wide.

  11. Sparta double their lead

    Rangers 1-0 Brondby

    The Czechs are off to a flyer in Prague as they bang in a second against group favourites Lyon.

  12. 'Bullet header'

    Rangers 1-0 Brondby

    Neil Alexander
    Former Rangers goalkeeper on Sportsound

    It's a great corner from Tavernier and a bullet header from Balogun. The keeper gets a hand to it but it's not strong enough

  13. goal

    GOAL Rangers 1-0 Brondby

    Leon Balogun

    Rangers captain James Tavernier is pelted by some objects thrown by the Brondby fans as he prepares to take a corner.

    He responds to their idiocy by delivery a peach of a cross for Leon Balogun to attack and the big defender thumps in a powerful header.

  14. 'Aribo looking good'

    Rangers 0-0 Brondby

    Richard Foster
    Former Rangers defender on Sportsound

    Brondby look comfortable on the ball in their own half, but Rangers are pressing and looking to build. Aribo looks good breaking from midfield

  15. Rangers 0-0 Brondby

    A nervous sclaff out of play from goalkeeper Thomas Mikkelsen has the home fans jeering.

    In tonight's other Group A match, Sparta Prague have taken an early lead at home to Lyon.

  17. 'Positive start'

    Rangers 0-0 Brondby

    Neil Alexander
    Former Rangers goalkeeper on Sportsound

    Rangers have been dominant, playing in the Brondby half, it's been a positive start

  18. Rangers 0-0 Brondby

    Now Joe Aribo tries his luck, cutting in from the right to fire a fierce effort over the top.

    John Lundstram opened his Rangers league account at the weekend and he fancies another as his shot from the edge of the box is blocked.
