Richard Foster
Former Rangers defender on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageRangers have had spells where they were okay, but they've been so open in midfield and defence. Rangers cannot deal with movement off the ball. Tavernier for the first goal, it's just a simple run in behind him.

BBC Sport Scotland at IbroxMuted boos from some fans on the half-time whistle. The difference in class, budget and Champions League experience that their manager alluded to yesterday is very evident for the home supporters, however unpalatable.
Kuddus is a class act. He hasn't put a foot wrong again for Ajax.
He was one of the star men in the reverse fixture in Amsterdam, and looks a cut above here in Glasgow, too. This is already a painful night for Rangers, and it could yet get worse.

BBC Scotland at IbroxAjax are in control and Rangers are heading for the ignominy of setting a new worst record for the Champions League group phase.
The goals from Steven Berghuis from Mohammed Kudus have been given away too cheaply and since the second went in the visitors have really had their tails up.
Rangers needed an improbable five-goal swing. What they're getting is another painful reminder of the ruthless quality involved in this tournament.

Rangers 0-2 Ajax
Oh my. So close.
A sweeping move from Ajax carves open Rangers again. Berghuis sends a sclaffed shot going just wide, and Kudus can't connect. A huge let off seconds before the break.

Ajax are forced into a substitute as Owen Wijndal goes off injured. Teenager Devyne Rensch goes straight into the defence.

For anyone still interested, Liverpool and Napoli are currently goalless in Group A's other game. Both are through to the next phase, of course, but a draw sees Napoli top the group.

Rangers 0-2 Ajax
The boos are ringing around Ibrox.
Kudus shows great strength to wrestle free at the edge of the Rangers area. He swings a left boot at the ball, but his effort is dragged just wide of the far post.
Rangers are sleepwalking to the worst ever Champions League group campaign, as things stand. They need to wake up quickly...

BBC Sport Scotland at IbroxThat is the goal many around here may have been dreading.
Having now conceded 21 goals, and only scored one, and having amassed not a single point so far, Rangers are heading for the worst ever Champions League group stats... unless they can find a goal or two in the final hour. And not concede any more.
GREAT SAVE!published at 20:35 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2022
Rangers 0-2 Ajax
Allan McGregor to the rescue.
Ajax break forward and the former Scotland goalkeeper has to produce a great stop to paw away a strong Bergwijn shot.
This is a critical moment for Rangers. Another goal before half-time and this could get ugly.

To make matters worse, a worrying time for Rangers fans as Borna Barisic lands awkwardly after skidding off the pitch. He looks to be okay for now...

Steven Thompson
Former Rangers striker on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageThe ball looked like it was going out - it's really good play to keep it in. Kudus spins, and it's a wicked deflection. It's a long, long way back now.
GOAL Rangers 0-2 AJAXpublished at 20:29 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2022
Mohammed Kudus
That's a sore one.
A lovely move down the left from the Dutch eventually sees the ball worked to Mohammed Kudus in the middle of the Rangers box. He takes a touch, shifts the ball on to his right foot, and leathers a shot at goal.
It goes straight at Leon King, with the heavy deflection from the young Rangers defender sending Allan McGregor the wrong way for Kudus' fourth goal of the group.
