Better from Borna Barisic.

He sticks with Johan Bakayoko all the way and wins Rangers a goal kick.

Rangers 1-0 PSV Eindhoven

Todd Cantwell kinda leaves one late on Oliver Boscagli and the Rangers man is the one that ends up rolling around on the deck.

He looks in a bit of pain but he's fine to continue.

The free-kick comes in from the right and Ramalho Silva is up to win it but it's just too high.

The Dutch side look bright again.

Borna Barisic is having a tough night.

Johan Bakayoko does him on the right and wins a foul.

There's a wonderful little one-two in the build-up there.

It's a really good save, but I wonder, should he have gone with his head?

What a positive start to this half from Rangers.

A lovely wee one-two from James Tavernier and Jose Cifuentes results in the captain forcing Walter Benitez into a fine save.

Aaaaand we're off again...

What a difference that goal makes. You imagine Rangers would probably have been relatively content to go in goalless. Granted, they hadn’t unduly troubled the PSV goal, but neither had the Dutch caused them any great concern.

But the goal means they can get inside, have a sook on an orange segment, and reflect on how to approach the second half.

Fraser: Screaming to get Sima off that full half. Give him man of the match…

Robert: They have done their job. 1-0 up at half time,.. we’ll take that. Going to Eindhoven 2-0 would be good!

Anon: They've got to keep their heads and stop the balls into the box. Another goal would be good.

Anon: Sima has been dire yet scores a cracker! Tav is being shredded. Overall passing and movement is poor but l will take 1-0 half time no problem but must move up a gear.

Anon: Really missing a focal frontman, I’ll take the HT lead but think it may be short-lived. We shall see.

Dave: What a finish from Sima! The only downside is, through celebrating, my paella is now on the floor.

David: Very poor performance, no width and very little creativity. Champions League teams will destroy Rangers on that evidence. Not sure who scouted Dessers, the guy looks hopeless. Miracle we are ahead.

Anon: That was a tough watch but we've somehow gone in ahead. Contain PSV for the first 10 minutes of the second half and we could be on to something...

That goal comes from PSV trying to overplay.

And there's Sima who has not had a good half at all, but what a finish.

He shows a lot of composure and talent there.

Rangers' possession is now down to 26%.

I'm sure Ibrox cares...

By the sound of it, something just happened...

The noise when that Abdallah Sima shot flashed into the net was something else.

What a priceless moment that might be and what a time for it to happen.

Oh, what a finish that was!

The keeper can dive all he wants there, he was just a spectator.

What did you make of that first-half performance Rangers fans? And that Abdallah Sima strike?

Eh, that was unexpected.

Rangers were nowhere, but in they go at half time a goal up and it's some finish from Abdallah Sima.

Ibrox is bouncing. What a time to score.

Wow... what a goal that would've been.

Johan Bakayoko dances off the right and bends a beauty to the top corner, but it whistles just wide.

Rangers survive two balls across the face of goal.

Dangerous times.

"Haw Beale, yer just standing watching!"Not entirely sure what the fella howling from the main stand quite expects the Rangers manager to do. Jog on and pick a pass?
