Quote MessageIt's a different game in the second half, with Rangers showing some composure. They've strung a few passes together and got up the pitch, albeit slowly.

James Sands causes Ajax more problems from another Borna Barisic free-kick but the whistle has gone for some wrestling involving Connor Goldson.

John Lundstram has dropped back as a third centre-half and Leon King has taken over from James Tavernier wide on the right of the Rangers defence. A big 45 minutes for the 18-year-old...
Ajax 3-0 Rangers
Rangers get men inside the home box as Borna Barisic flights in a deep free-kick. James Sands gets his head on it but the angle is against him and the ball drifts wide.

The average positions from that first half tell the story - not one Rangers player made it over the halfway line...

Here we go for the second half in Amsterdam.

Rabbi Matondo, Leon King and Ryan Jack are coming out for the second half.
James Tavernier, Malik Tillman and Scott Wright are not.
A big call, hooking the skipper.

Quote MessageYou've got one defensive player in that team - and he's not been great either - but Goldson is the only player there who can win a defensive header. The opener is a terrible goal to lose. A free header. And it keeps happening.

Quote MessageThey have been lamentable. It's been men against mannequins. There's obviously a clear gulf in ability between the teams, but there's a clear gulf in physicality as well. Ajax are just brushing Rangers off the ball, passing through them.

Quote MessageThere's no spirit. Two of the three goals have definsively been horrendous. Where do you start? Absolutely no positives at all. A poor 45 minutes which has been a continuation from the weekend

A long wait to return to Champions League football has turned into a long night for Rangers. And it's only half-time.
Worth saying from the outset, Ajax have been superb. Their interchanges, movement and ability to find time in the smallest of gaps is something to behold. Their tenacity in pressing, even while three goals up, says a lot about their mindset, too.
However, Rangers simply have not got going, giving an Ajax team, that needs no invitation, encouragement to advance at will and carve their opponents open with ease. While the second goal was unfortunate via a heavy deflection, the defending for goal one and three was practically non existent.
There have been flickers going forward, mostly with Malik Tillman's neat footwork, but Remko Pasveer in the Ajax goal has done nothing.
Rangers have produced minor miracles in Europe this calendar year. Giovanni van Bronckhorst will need a pretty big one here.

Ajax are in complete control of this tie.
Rangers have barely been out of their own half, with Ajax tying them in knots with their rapid passing and movement.
Two of the goals have been pretty soft, the third was an absolute screamer.
