    Tavernier and Bassey are getting caught too far up the pitch - Rangers might think about a back five. Glen Kamara hasn't quite got a handle on the game. There are opportunities for players to come off the bench and make a difference.

    Well, that could have been a lot worse after the loss of such an early goal. Rangers have been far from out-played but yet again they are indebted to the brilliance of Allan McGregor.

    The Marakana crowd have kept it noisy but haven’t had too much more to shout about since that early opener.

    They are showing TV replays of the Red Star goal and it gets worse every time you see it, from a Rangers perspective.

    Alfredo Morelos is caught under the cross and fails to get his head on it, then Glen Kamara is slow to react and doesn't do enough to block the shot.

  4. HALF-TIME Red Star Belgrade 1-0 Rangers (1-3)published at 45+1 mins

    Rangers' aggregate lead has been reduced but they still have a two-goal cushion to play with.

    Red Star's early goal was a bit of gift, with the Ibrox men all over the place from a corner.

    Allan McGregor has made two impressive stops, while Rangers haven't really tested Milan Borjan at the other end.

    Another fantastic save. We knew he was going to have to be good tonight, and he's proving his worth.

    Allan McGregor to the rescue with a flying save to keep out a curling shot from Red Star full-back Cristiano Piccini.

    Calvin Bassey goes for an Archie Gemmell run into the Red Star box but he's not quite got the skills of the wee fella in 1978 and he's eventually crowded out.

    Calvin Bassey irks the referee as the Rangers defender takes time for a quick word with manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst when he should be taking a throw-in.

    Now Alfredo Morelos gets a shot off on the turn but there's no power on it.

    Alfredo Morelos pops up on the left this time but loses his footing as he tries to take on a couple of defenders.

    Red Star break down the right and Connor Goldson needs to nod a lofted cross over his own crossbar.

    Alfredo Morelos is back to clear from the corner.

    Rangers are spending more time in the Red Star half now and the game is very stop-start, with lots of niggly fouls creeping in.

    It's been a bit better from Rangers. They've managed to put Red Star under a bit of pressure, which gives the defence a bit of respite.

    The offside flag goes up as Joe Aribo slips a pass in for Alfredo Morelos. The Colombian doesn't really catch the shot, so it's no trouble for the goalie anyway.

    Ooft! A let-off for Rangers as a long ball is knocked into the path of Milan Pavkov but the Red Star striker scuffs a rushed shot wide from 15 yards, with just Allan McGregor to beat.

    That's better from Alfredo Morelos as the Rangers striker cuts in from the right and drills a low shot just wide of the far post.

    Rangers stand firm at a corner and now the visitors try to spring something but this time Ryan Kent isn't able to pick out Alfredo Morelos with a pass.

    Rangers have a three-on-two attack but Alfredo Morelos makes a terrible hash of his pass to Ryan Kent and now Red Star are racing up the pitch.

    A long diagonal picks out a man at the back post but the header is easily gathered by Allan McGregor.

    If it were possible, I think the volume inside the Marakana has just been cranked up a notch. It looks like Dejan Stankovic’s statement about this crowd making Red Star “twice as strong” wasn’t far off the mark.

    Here come Red Star again and Joe Aribo does well to help out his defence, taking the ball off the toes of Aleksander Hatai.
