    GOAL RANGERS 1-2 Ajaxpublished at 21:44 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2022

    James Tavernier

    There it is.

    James Tavernier rolls the ball down the middle of the goal to the noise of a huge roar from the Ibrox crowd still inside the ground.

    It all came after Matondo was bundled over in the area after a clumsy touch from Alvarez.

    Could we have a late comeback on our hands!?

    Rangers 0-2 Ajax

    AN OPEN GOAL!!!

    Alfredo Morelos does so well to take the ball away from the goalkeeper, rounds him, but somehow sends his shot wide with the goal gaping.

    My word.

    Things are just fizzling out again for Rangers with Ajax grabbing a hold on the game.

    If anyone's keeping track, it's now 4-2 to Barcelona against Viktoria Plzen. As things stand, Rangers are still a goal worse off.

    Clash of the captains leaves James Tavernier in agony on the deck.

    Dusan Tadic and the Rangers skipper go for the same ball, with the latter getting a stud to the foot. After a quick swoosh of the magic sponge he's back on...

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:29 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2022

    Rangers 0-2 Ajax

    So nearly a moment of magic from Scott Arfield.

    A tremendous volley from the veteran Rangers man on the edge of the box triggers an acrobatic and instinctive save from Pasveer.

    The man who gave Rangers the lead against Liverpool goes so close to offering his team a lifeline tonight.

    ...and his whipped free-kick goes straight into the arms of Remko Pasveer, who has had the deckchair out for most of this game.

    As I say that, Morelos hits the turf and wins a free-kick for his team around 25 yards out right in front of goal.

    Let's see what Mr Tavernier has in his locker...

    Giovanni van Bronckhorst is rolling the dice here. Glen Kamara, Scott Wright and Alfredo Morelos come on for Steven Davis, Malik Tillman and Antonio Colak.

    Twenty five minutes left to make some sort of an impact.

    That's by far and away the biggest cheer of the night from the Rangers fans. Perhaps says a lot about the rest of what the crowd have watched, certainly from the home team.

  14. Back in Liverpool...published at 21:18 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2022

    Know how I said Liverpool were a goal down? You can also forget that...

    It's another tight, tight call. And while it took about three seconds to rule out Kudos' strike in Glasgow, it took three minutes to deny Leo Ostigard his effort on Merseyside.

    It was all so easy the way they cut Rangers open - it only took three passes. That's how quickly you want VAR to work.

    Rangers 0-2 Ajax

    Scrap that, still 2-0!

    Mohammed Kudus looked to have knocked in a third, but the Ajax forward was offside after a VAR check. My, oh my, that must have been inches.

    Huuuuuge let off for Rangers.

    Leo Ostigard has just given Napoli the lead in Anfield. It looks like the high-flying Italians are going to top Group A.

    Both sides playing within themselves a bit as we tick by 50 minutes. Can Rangers give us something in this second half?
