  1. Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Five minutes added at the end of this.

  2. Double Rangers switch

    Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Kemar Roofe walks off with a ripped top. He's had a fine night.

    Abdallah Sima follows him as Cyriel Dessers and Dujon Sterling come on.

  3. Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Steven Thompson
    Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound

    Butland is a lucky man. He gets nowhere near it. It's a tight angle, but Perez should be hitting the target.

  4. CLOSE!

    Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Isco takes to the back post and Ayoze Perez is on the slide.

    But the angle is too tight and it goes into the outside of the side netting.

  5. Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Sam Lammers gives away a foul. It's soft but it's in a dangerous spot on the right...

  6. Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Betis are cranking up the pressure with 86 minutes on the clock.

  7. Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Abner Vinicius looks to put one across the face of the Rangers goal but Jack Butland gathers convincingly.

    With each passing week the Rangers keeper looks a top signing.

  8. Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    A second Rangers change.

    On comes Ryan Jack for Jose Cifuentes.

  9. GREAT SAVE!

    Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Two nutmegs and a pass from Ayoze Perez tees up Rodri to smash one to the near post.

    But Jack Butland is there to make another fine save.

  11. Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Rangers clear the resulting corner and off they go on the break.

    Sam Lammers sweeps one to Rabbi Matondo, who ends up winning a free-kick.

  12. Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    More top last-ditch defending from Ben Davies stops Betis getting through.

    He's having a good night.

  13. CLOSE!

    Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    A Betis corner comes in from the right and Marc Bartra meets it at the front post.

    His glancing header is just wide of the far post.

  14. Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Just seen more replays of the Rangers goal and I still have no idea if Sima or Davies scored.

    Assume Rangers fans won't really care.

  15. Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Connor Goldson meets another Borna Barisic corner but he doesn't make a clean connection with his head.

    That's a chance.

  16. Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Ally seems to think Ben Davies scored, did he?

  17. 'Rangers deserve lead'

    Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Ally McCoist
    Former Rangers striker & manager on TNT Sports

    Ben Davies gets there just before Sima.

    As I said, Rangers have been very good second half and they deserve to be ahead.

  18. Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Lee McCulloch
    Former Rangers midfielder on BBC Sportsound

    It's been coming in this half, although that was a real stramash.

    I still don't know who scored!

  19. Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    A brief VAR check ends with the goal being awarded.

    Another huge roar follows. Two celebrations for the price of one.

  20. goal

    GOAL! Rangers 1-0 Real Betis

    Abdallah Sima

    Lift off at Ibrox!

    Claudio Bravo will be absolutely gutted. He makes the save of the year from point-blank range from Kemar Roofe.

    Connor Goldson then has a rebounded effort deflected but Abdallah Sima is there to help it over the line.
