Atmosphere sounds like it's taken a bit of a dip.

No real flow to this game at present.

Rabbi Matondo seems to be getting his shirt pulled for an age before the ball gets put behind for a corner.

If he goes down there the referee has a decision to make.

The corner comes to nothing.

He did well there, Jack Butland.

James Tavernier gets caught forward and Connor Goldson often covers that space. He just couldn't get there quick enough.

Thankfully, for Rangers, Borna Barisic clears up.

Abde Ezzalzouli sprints behind the Rangers backline again and opens his body up but Jack Butland parries to safety before Borna Barisic clears.

Abde Ezzalzouli has been Betis' danger man so far.

He bursts to the bye-line again but Connor Goldson matches him all the way.

Matondo looks short of confidence already.

It's as if the crowd have got on his back. He's had a few bad touches, and missed that one-on-one.

Ball just won't stick for Rabbi Matondo after that early miss.

Rangers 0-0 Real Betis

Head knock between Ben Davies and Abde Ezzalzouli has the Betis man rolling around on the deck.

He's fine to continue.

The Rangers fans are right up for this. Quite a noise inside the old stadium already.

They've been encouraged by a bright start from their side in which Rabbi Matondo absolutely should have put them ahead.

Betis look good on the ball but vulnerable at the back. Good game so far.

Rangers deal with the corner then Tom Lawrence snaps into a tackle, prompting a big roar from the crowd.

Some groans from the Ibrox crowd as Rangers fail to deal with a ball into their box before Connor Goldson miscues one behind.

Isco has just played two or three glorious passes.

Shouldn't come as a surprise.

Abdessamad Ezzalzouli skips towards the edge of the box and goes down under a challenge from Jose Cifuentes.

Referee is having none of it. Up ye get.

Rangers have started pretty well, but John Lundstram hasn't really.

He gives away a cheap foul but nothing comes of it.

It's been a relatively controlled start from Rangers.

Kemar Roofe does exceptionally well, it's a magnificent pass.

Rabbi Matondo just can't get it out of his feet and he puts it right at the goalkeeper.

Rabbi Matondo, you've got to score!

A ridiculous pass from Kemar Roofe with the outside of his boot sends Matondo in behind.

He goes for the Thierry Henry finish but it's really poor and Claudio Bravo saves easily.

Rangers clear the corner but Isco follows up with a stunning cross back into the box that just evades two Betis heads.

John Lundstram loses the ball cheaply and Betis are sharp to win a corner.

Away we go.
