YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:15 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2021
Rangers 2-0 Sparta Prague
Borna Barisic is in the book and a tackle on Haraslin.
It's a sore one. Studs are into the Sparta man's ankle. No more than a yellow card, though.

Rangers 2-0 Sparta Prague
Rangers look so much more free after that second goal.
They've gone up a couple gears. More goals are in this.
Rangers 2-0 Sparta Prague
Ryan Kent is threatening again, the ex-Liverpool man has been back to his best tonight, but his strike is deflected wide.
Rangers 2-0 Sparta Prague
Oh, okay. Miakel Uhre has given Brondby an unlikely lead at home to Lyon.
That changes things...
Rangers 2-0 Sparta Prague
More awful defending from Sparta as Rangers break clear.
Ryan Kent is through again but his shot is saved well by Holec.
Alfredo Morelos
What a howler.
Alfredo Morelos has his second and it's an absolute gift!
The Sparta defender has the ball in his box and tries to clip a ball across the face of goal, but Morelos is there to just head it in.
It's comical defending.
Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague
Connor Goldson sprays a long-range diagonal pass to Ryan Kent, who is through and guides a strike just wide of the far post.
So close.
Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague
Rangers have got a press on early in this second half.
They'd need another goal if they are to secure second spot tonight.
Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague
Back under way at Ibrox...

That Alfredo Morelos strike was the first time in seven games that Rangers have scored the opening goal.
An extraordinary stat.

So far, so good for Giovanni van Bronckhorst, who is on course to get a Europa League win in his first game as Rangers boss.
Alfredo Morelos' finish separates the sides at the break, but Joe Aribo really should have doubled the hosts' advantage shortly after.
As it stands, if Rangers can get a two-goal win they will secure second place in Group A as Brondby are currently drawing at home to Lyon.
Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague
Rangers will take that all day, every day.
The resulting free-kick delivery is rubbish.
Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague
Sparta win a free-kick right on the edge of the box after Ianis Hagi trips his man.
The Romania international takes a booking for his troubles. Free-kick in a dangerous area now...
Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague
Comical moment as Haraslin unleashes an effort at goal, but it's blocked by his own player on the edge of the box.
Looked a good strike as well.
Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague
Just not sticking at the moment for Rangers in an attacking sense.
Five minutes until the break.
Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague
Alfredo Morelos does really well to win a corner.
James Tavernier whips in a delivery, but the ball is too short.
