Nick McPheat

  1. Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague

    Better composure from Rangers, who get their foot on the ball after a spell of Sparta pressure.

    Lack of attacking action since that Aribo chance, however.

  2. Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague

    Sparta are coming into this.

    Rangers can't seem to get out their half.

  3. Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague

    Joe Aribo gives away a cheap free-kick.

    Haraslin has a pop from the resulting set piece, but it's well over.

  4. 'Rangers have come out quickly'

    Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague

    Mark Hateley
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    Sparta Prague have struggled to get into this game and that is a credit to Rangers, who have come out so quickly and have managed to maintain that.

  5. Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague

    Excellent defensive header from Borna Barisic.

    The left-back gets in ahead of Wiesner to cut out a dangerous cross.

    Big high-fives from his team-mates after that one.

  6. Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague

    Ryan Kent drives at the Sparta defence again and finds Borna Barisic on the overlap.

    The Croatian's cross takes a nick and Sparta keeper Holec fumbles it.

    Morelos tries to get in on the follow-up but takes a sore one in the process.

  7. Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague

    Joe Aribo works a nice reverse pass to captain James Tavernier.

    But the right-back's cross has too much on it.

  8. GREAT SAVE!

    Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague

    Allan McGregor is called into action for the first time and pulls off a big save.

    Haraslin wiggles his way into the box and puts the ball into the front post. Minchev gets his toe to it first, but McGregor denies the striker with his feet.

  9. CLOSE!

    Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague

    He's got to score!

    James Tavernier clips a ball down the right for Ianis Hagi. The Romanian's ball in finds Joe Aribo, but the midfielder's close-range finish drops over.

    He absolutely has to bury that.

  10. Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague

    Calvin Bassey, deployed at centre-back tonight, hasn't put a foot wrong so far.

    The Rangers defender closes down Adam Hlozek brilliantly on the edge of the box before getting across well to stop a cross minutes later.

  11. Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague

    As it stands, a two-goal win for Rangers guarantees second spot.

    Van Bronckhorst's men will want another goal.

  12. If there's one man that knows where to be to score simple goals, it's Mark Hateley...

  13. 'That's where you want your striker'

    Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague

    Mark Hateley
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    It's great build-up play. That is where you want your number nine, right between the sticks.

  14. goal

    GOAL! Rangers 1-0 Sparta Prague

    Alfredo Morelos

    The first goal of the Van Bronckhorst era!

    It looks like there's too much on James Tavernier's pass to Ianis Hagi, but the forward slides in brilliantly to get a toe on the ball and divert it to Alfredo Morelos.

    The Colombia striker has the whole goal to aim at and finishes well into the bottom-left corner.

  15. Rangers 0-0 Sparta Prague

    Rangers' wingers are much wider in Van Bronckhorst's system.

    We've become used to the likes of Kent and Hagi playing really narrow, but they've got chalk on their boots tonight.

  16. Rangers 0-0 Sparta Prague

    Sparta are yet to really lay a finger on Rangers as this first half hits a bit of a lull.

  17. Rangers 0-0 Sparta Prague

    Borna Barisic wins a corner, the Croatian then whips the set piece in.

    But the Sparta defence head clear. The Rangers support are enjoying what they are seeing, there is a lot of energy about their side.

  18. Kent back?

    Rangers 0-0 Sparta Prague

    Mark Hateley
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    We've not seen that from Ryan Kent in a long time, it's what Kent's been missing.

  19. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Rangers 0-0 Sparta Prague

    Great effort.

    Ryan Kent does brilliantly, rinsing a couple before pulling the ball back at the byeline.

    Joe Aribo picks it up on the edge of the box and drills a shot goalwards, but the strike clips the top of the bar.

  20. Rangers 0-0 Sparta Prague

    Different shape from Rangers early on at Ibrox.

    Looks more like a 4-2-3-1. These Rangers players have played 4-3-3 continuously for the past few years..

    Joe Aribo is playing as the number 10 behind Alfredo Morelos, with Ryan Kent and Ianis Hagi on the wings.

    Steven Davis and Glen Kamara are the deepest midfielders.
