ASLIVE | Rangers v Legia Warsaw 29 Aug 2019

[Applause] it's a cool looking ranger side a thumbs up from the skipper james tavernier a pensive tentative steven gerrard that he has played in this kind of environment and so many occasions you'll know the exact words to share with the players looking at the officials tonight they're from slovenia the man in the middle is slavko vinci fourth official battes yog the assistant's on the flanks andres covenant and thomas clinch high fives all round i think in a matter of 60 seconds any thoughts of friendship will be parked for the next 90 minutes andy yeah and this is this is what it's all about being a rangers player some of these players will be getting their first taste of of massive massive european nights okay we've had we've had a few already in qualifiers but this is really really um this is the big time you know us to try and get into those group stages uh it's brilliantly it's brilliant financially for the club um and for the fans just to have these nights is extra special um and it's down to those players to to grab it with both hands and someone become a hero tonight and uh and get get the team through to the qualifier throughout through the group stage yeah green just tonight in the traditional blue shirts trim the quite quite shorts and it's quite socks today with the red tops we're just looking at guys like ojo and the people coming to a club like this duo rebo in particular with charlton played at wembley last season but this is a different level absolutely steven jared again he said about it this is exactly why he wanted to be here as a manager he wanted special nights like this he wanted weeks like this where you've got samaritan away which is just as important as any other game then you've got a massive european night then you've got a massive game on sunday that's why you're at this club you have to be you have to be up to those sorts of challenges and i'm not shy away from them and there's one man there he certainly won't yeah james tavernier was 80th gamers captain of rangers in warsaw a week ago yet to turn 28 that happens in just over a month away he's the inspirational skipper from the way he goes about his job perhaps maybe not the most vocal oh he drives the team on tom um just at the right moments just when it's really important i think it was one of the first games of the season motherwell away he he drove the team on sorry kilmarnock away i think it was um and and he is vital uh you know just that that drive but not necessarily the vocal it's just the drive he gives them on the pitch they're about to get underway in their green kit from with black and the roof at ibrox has just been raised again and is attacking the broom lone road end of the stadium long searching ball from golden trying to turn the defense is dealt with by andre check but rangers looking to get the early initiative playing the game inside legacy half of the field jack called up to the scotland squad thoroughly deserved davis for barack's first touch for the croatian pressure on the ball from velia and kathy squats it back for an early touch for alan mcgregor i think there's your answer tom right here i don't think they're going to sit in don't think they're going to sit back very no pressing quite quite high up the pitch there and a little joining us this evening and then just tv bringing you full live and exclusive match commentary from ibrox a night when winner takes all [Applause] around the corner from kulinovic chased down there by vesovich but barisitch keeping things tidy you know who's the playmaker from this lego side has been given away pounced upon by scott arfield morales is on the move it's our field driving at the defender still scott arfield stumbles gets it across the face squeezed away challenge there from davis and people can't gather either and taken away by martinez in fact played long now for vessel richard's rangers in the back foot vesavich into the safe gloves of valar mcgregor the game going box to box in a matter of seconds scott garfield would be disappointed there he could be if we could see it you know he just slightly overran the ball it didn't really open up for him and then we see the break from legal warsaw and that's certainly what they'll be looking for tonight both teams committed garfield then for morales couldn't work out sweet just moments ago introduces barack his leggy on the back first taste of the ball for ojo infraribo ojo looking for the return it's a wee break there he go again exchanging with jack drives away from marco visavich golson heavy with that one tavern gives chase he's kept him in play gets the green light from the far side assistant but it's launched away by rucker i think we're seeing two teams from this first whistle and they just going for each other's jugular yeah definitely rangers playing into the wind slightly you can see conor golson there with the with the longer ball that james tavernier held up nicely actually in the wind and i think you can tell it's very very open but for me the important thing is every single rangers players had to touch the ball already they look comfortable despite the amazing atmosphere tonight it's really really buzzing they've all had a touch of the ball which is so important just to settle yourself down into the game searching delivery from parasitch no free kick here's sheojo looking for a field well defended again and there is left duke this time with the clearance [Applause] i think we're going to get a bit of this tonight it's sandra kolinovich using his big frame trying to win the free kick and he does so successfully started at dynamo zagreb going head to head there with another croatian in the form of nico carthage these guys know each other well they're both under 21 caps for croatia yeah just you know rangers need to be streetwise a little bit slovenian officials tonight and uh if any that certainly if that that call is anything to go by rangers really need to be careful with with their challenges it's european football it's a little bit different to the scottish premiership and sometimes you just have to stand your ground yes you go on left hook patrick's climbing majestically wins his header baristas can't find dojo [Applause] both teams when they don't have possession andy the way they're aggressively hunting to get it back is so obvious where else gets cluttered again the refugee lets the game continue held up by kafu sting taken out of things as he walks it back to his back four i think it's two very honest teams dom they certainly put the work in off the ball comfortable on the ball um and it's going to be a really really tough night and need to give it absolutely everything oh ranger's winning in the high line again it's alfredo morelos he's got a field wide mourinho's body checked follow-up way to the target the refugee gives advantage rangers i don't think he can bring it back now shiojo arriving so quickly as it breaks into his path undoubtedly though morelos taking out the game no attempt to play the ball from left chuck which on the normal circumstance andy as we see it again here must surely be a yellow car for me tom if the referee gives a free kick which he clearly did because he played advantage if you like he has to give the hello card retrospectively he needs to come back and give the yellow card i'm not quite sure why i mean it's only five minutes into the game but that was a you know a brilliant opportunity if alfredo morelos gets passed um i didn't didn't make out the defender but if he gets past him you know it's it's a real opportunity it's a booking for me and just disappointing shahi oj he'll be disappointed with that he cut right across it and you know the first thing you've got to do there is hit the target jack wins it and releases that down the flank is tavernier he loses out and turned to leukemia davis comes back to offer some resistance fed in for carfu robbed by ariba won again in nearby martinez the portuguese player switch wide for vesevic [Applause] on the flank of stalaski always willing to get forward now we see legend trying to get a bit of rhythm martinez holds it up back to levchuk who was the man who body checked morelos moments ago and back to the skipper again gray checkers to try and take the sting and the tempo out the game andy yeah no it's um it's sensible if you like from like here they haven't really settled i don't think there's a number of loose passes in midfield that rangers from from a rangers point of view have been brilliantly on top of they've picked up a number of loose balls in these sorts of areas and managed to hit on the break just as they're about to do now yeah it's newsrook again making good ground down the flank the wing back and again runs into traffic yeah davis davis jack and ibo you know they're picking up all loose balls in there which only six minutes in but that's good to see it was given away by tavernier grabbed by kulinovich still kolenovich oh and he takes stage freight tugs it wide claims there was deflection but again rangers sloppily gifting position to legat and kolenovich 1v3 in here will be so disappointed he didn't do better goals does well to get across likewise catech and the ball doesn't trouble alan mcgregor the fastest seven minutes of the week [Applause] just 19 years of age the big goalkeeper pre-matched doubts about sheila joe with an injury carrying a bit of a knock he looks fine at the moment his rocket gets chased he's quick not that quick so good to have you in the side four goals of course already this season ladies liverpool did use an eighteen-year-old joke celtic 141 this evening against yeah okay stockholm so they've made safe passes to the group stages i'm just looking to join them this evening a win ensures that any kind of win not really showing so far barissich can't get it away from the backpack and stalaski but that's probably the dimension that steven gerrard and gary mcallister want from bournemouth 6 tonight perhaps more than john flanagan would give you the rangers need to score goals they need to go and parasitch fires it in headed away rocket jack tries to keep it in the box there's morelos now as well to work it wide tavern here will fire it in early deflects off rocket again and there a long while now he hooks it away only as far as davis then just pushing bodies forward to keep the pressure on tavern you can't quite gather again rocker so far has been a standout for the visitors but yeah that's what the management team want from barnabas absolutely great to see him i think that's confidence again goes in the overlap of ojo there and it's just that natural balance tom and that that quality as well from the wider areas and james tavernier and uh ambarez himself is is in a game like tonight when when it it might just be one goal that wins it um it's so important to have that that real quality cushion balojo introduces introduces arfield arfields holds off the backpack in brazilian cafe support comes from ryan jack he's got a bit of an angle to make up to get the ball in the box does well swivels looks for his options tavernier provides one jack keeps the ball himself there he launches it and looking from the middle [Applause] the delivery from ryan jack absolutely on the money and alfredo morelos inside the six yard box look at the delivery from jack again and morelos it just inches way to the target great delivery fine effort morelos big goal was yet at ibrox let's not like him tom i think we were all waiting to to get to our feet there excellent ball in from ryan jack so difficult to defend back onto his left foot and it's on a plate for alfredo morelos and you know nine times out of ten i think that hits the back of the net he's got seven european goals for the season already it almost seemed to pitch and then squirt way to the target i think it was sliding that way and and he simply just didn't get enough on it tom maybe um maybe the header back across the goal might have been the better option but it's so difficult to say it came down very quickly and again launches it in golson stands firm under some pressure from velia tavernier comes back and just gets it away arthur reads it with a wonderful touch from our field downed as he makes good headway the referee lets things go it was rocket with the challenge picked up morelos he's found joe ariba arribo standing up stallasky duo rebel in there for audio affiliate as well and the ultimate effort team and gathered by goalkeeper majeski but rangers andy little knocking on the door oh you have to be be really really positive tom they've carved out a couple of really good opportunities already but it's frustrating at the same time because it just feels like there's that little bit of quality and composure in the final third is just missing in the in the opening uh period of the game but great play and it's good to see that they're picking up so many loose balls in midfield and really really hurting lagging so far i'm not in a hurry to get the ball back into play [Applause] katich as well picked up by martinez squeezes it in again and it's katich who missed out on sunday cleaning it there and zojo tries to give the slip to pavel stalafsky who just started brightly he has yeah he's been up and downtown not only not only in the attacking sense he's been right back with uh bornavara's itching cover he certainly doesn't look to be carrying anything which is which is great to see but you have to wonder about a couple of these just a couple of these tackles and challenges rangers are on the break and and they're pretty pretty obvious files to me and you've got to look for the for a booking soon julia tries to lose which rangers defend again in numbers the clearance only as far as stalaski 23 year old started it this long cracker way to the other side i'm now to tease rangers to come forward as left you can andrei check exchange dropping off is yesovich coming short again as villia gets away from our field they're knowing for lucas again launches it in making the late supporting run for midfield was kafu norman's matched the run and date and he split the centre-backs uh mcgregor i'm not sure if there was a shout there bonaveras wasn't too sure who was who was behind him there was nobody and he could have let that go through all the way for a gold kick but can you hear if in doubt as they say absolutely but uh maybe maybe we can blame that the fans they were very annoying they were too loud and uh yeah as you say you gotta see it rather than sorry but rangers need to defend either set piece first corner of the evening goes away with leggy up which vacuum villia will take [Applause] it a spell with loser and switzerland 23 caps for georgia an experienced campaigner they just have to be switched on and none more so than ryan jack the clearing header and morales with a cute flick here's ojo wouldn't quite open up from and close down by rocker switch a play from jackie's found morelos here's tavernier on excellent defending again well his range of the laying siege and the referee this time sees that one as a free kick as rangers were breaking in numbers the referee to be fair andy has tried to let the game flow and in this occasion i think he's done a real turn for legal warsaw there's absolutely nothing in it if anything it's a file and james tavinier at the end there tom with a wii stamp i don't know what he's seeing that referee there's for me that is a way of play on and get on with it but rangers you know just a little bit loose a couple of times now when they get those opportunities to to turn leg yeah um they've just lacked that little bit of quality um and ruthlessness if you want to go on and get a real profit proper effort a goal of you know and it's uh but it's good to see you know every time every time they break they they look really really dangerous well the referee had plk salmonica against iaxis three weeks ago he's been doing fifa games at european level for nine seasons so he knows the ropes catholics takes a touch invites julia to close him down but he has the composure to work it right through mcgregor or a ball delivered for arfield defender again comes off with a bit of a lucky break rock and it breaks into the path of leukemia via martinez as well we'll be back to majeski making a bit of noise at the moment just over 15 minutes under our belt and iris thanks for joining us on rangers tv that's ninja's nail it look at what's on help now gone effectively 105 minutes between the sides without a goal they're quite happy to take the ball in and just run down the clock as well while in possession and then you know then that when the opportunity arises they will try and hit you with a bit of a sting yeah i think out of possession rangers are definitely more of a 4-4-2 almost scott arfin is up joining alfredo morelos and i think that's to try and put a little bit more pressure on them but they've got that over that extra man in the midfield areas he's dropping off and bouncing it and it's allowing them you know good safe possession of the ball but certainly in the opening you know the opening exchange is what we've seen it's it's really really positive from ranger's point of view they've just got to go and finish it off next time they get an opportunity and in ryan jack we've got a player who sees opportunities early and the accuracy of his distribution is quite incredible well i'm putting them under that pressure there as he takes over with leukemia right on his shoulder hold on man parasites from the realist as well to step off it would appear the two center backs i'm happy coming that 20 yards further away from the last thumb yeah just a little bit loose from alfredo morelos there you go assistant says not the case thomas clansnick from slovenia the man with the flag stallovsky looking for options kafu provides one takes it into the corner breaks all four joe comes back off kafu and rangers get the throw in this time round now caffu originally joined on loan from nets last august started his career at benfica popped away by jack and again rocker just works it back to skipper yandere check shows for the returns he gets on the angle rangers regroup proving difficult to play through pressure on the ball from our field do we need to get arigo a little bit more involved i think when rangers are in possession they look really really good and they look like they're going to cause problems but it's it's just managing these periods out of possession um you don't want to go chasing too much and leave yourself open the game is still you know it's still nil nil and it's still there one goal wins it and that's the surreal psychological battle for me tonight um you know it's a kind of a sticker twist players need to decide when is the right times to go and chase the game and when's the right time just to sit in allow like you to have a little bit of possession and then try and knick it off them here's our evil wonderful touch he stands up for himself and skips away from kafu no one's putting a press on a rebo in position as steven davis has it now pops it in for garfield i feel can't get it down and get away from his marker decision goes in favor of leggett it's not our field our real warrior and rangers colours was in the first ever falkirk team to play in europe 10 seasons ago [Applause] garfield's got cloth bit jack picks it up he's found morelos or freedom of ellis well laid his finger on the trigger there and he just couldn't get connection and he was robbed the possession by the backtracking the left cheek steven dave is very determined but if you kick go again go against him there i think there's a pace of delivery caught steven davis out there as he comes through the back of the leg at midfielder velia oh soldier have taken his time to get back to his feet stephen davis up close and personal here's the chance here for alfredo morelos it's a clever ball from ryan jack he just works out from under his feet and then ultimately couldn't get his shot away andy i think he had left chuck in his you know in his peripheral vision and that's what stopped him pulling the leg back and and uh and getting the shot away quickly across as vesavic tries to get on the end of the slit ball from stalarsky no we did say pretty much where we were chatting not a huge difference a lot between the teams but rangers certainly look to have more flair but at the moment it's the industry of legia that's giving them opportunities fired in by stelasky rangers deal with it here's tarnier he's got garfield ahead of him jack drops anchor stephen davis has a look over his shoulder before he gets the pass now he fires it wide for bournemouth rangers using the full width of liveworx incidentally they watered the pitch for a good half hour for after kickoff and jack again who's very much the playmaker this evening tavernier tries to give the slip to the backtracking legal wide man [Applause] halfway through the first 45 all but and of course they have seven games in europe to tonight with our defense yet to be breached andy yeah it's a pretty incredible stat i mean range rangers have been free-flowing scoring form if you like they've considered a few mind you but um laggy i mean seven seven clean sheets in any company three wins and four draws is is is really really impressive and i think you can tell that already even though rangers have created half opportunities there's been enough last gasp defending if you like just to stop rangers getting the clear opportunity as hojo a great take from mojo fires it in headed away by the left but yeah they're a big unit and they're defensively very very strong i think they're a very honest team a bit like a bit like rangers and they do plenty of work off the ball and and just don't allow teams or don't allow rangers as it is tonight much space and opportunities wonderful again for mojo he's dug out a delivery against left troop with a clearing header then just finds enjoying the way the rangers are trying to get into a flow here's conor golson a rebel firstly glances header on target just underneath it couldn't get enough on it there but again it's a great variation in your centre-back step out andy yeah no we've seen we've seen centre-backs at rangers do that for for years and sometimes that's what happens when games get a little bit sticky and and if teams are sitting off you there's an opportunity for a center half just to step in and uh you know conor golsan's got enough quality you see that with a big diagonal passes he has in his locker he's he's more than capable of going in and putting a pretty decent ball into the box there just alfredo morello is not getting quite enough on it i think shades of magic beginner i was thinking of exactly who i was thinking of actually yeah when rangers are under the caution it's been obvious that tavernier tucks into the center backs not for the first time tonight with someone recording heather and the crunching challenge there on leukemia the brazilian [Applause] left chick golson again does well steps out in the way kelinovich here's morelos after the central ojo drops off now he goes to the fedora morelos hits the target brings the save from majeski and yeah it's all about a striker full of confidence in his own ability he had other options but my goodness when he does get his shot away he runs a little he gets everything behind it yeah it's one of those tom if that takes the slightest of nick off the the inside of the leg here that's that's in the bottom left-hand corner and we're celebrating i felt like he could have he could have passed it maybe in a couple of he had a couple of options but he's a man on fire he's a man in real confidence and you can't blame him going and having a shot and go oh you're chasing lost causes tries to spin beyond left you the rebel smuggles it in there again for morelos goes to the ground and the referee sees nothing wrong but rather he sees it as a free kick against morelos now riffies don't always get it right but we have to respect the decisions they make we do it again we do there's no point in no point in uh getting annoyed by it from me tom you know he's he's come through the back of alfredo morelos there and it's a rangers free kick but referees say it differently sometimes you have to just as he says on his arm badge there respect and move on i suspect it was the second part of that challenge i think he was letting the game go and then in the follow up we just perhaps clicked as we see it again here andy watch morelus he gets cluttered but then he has a weak clip to catch the fullback that's i wouldn't even yeah i mean i'm only guessing if i joined the it's the first challenge for me tom that you know it's come straight through the back but we saw steve davis only a few minutes ago getting a a free kick and a talking to you actually uh for doing the exact same thing in the middle of the pitch and um you know it's a it's a free kick rangers in my opinion but there's no point in uh this i mean it's this it's this nonsense that we don't you know we don't want to see um get on with the game i think leggy or definitely every opportunity they get tom they're trying to take this thing out of the game i think at nil nil they are they're quite happy um for now anyway i think they'd be delighted at halftime to go in the rangers will be thinking they really want to try and get one and two and put this put this to bed now and also getting extended treatment has to leave the field just for the moment they get down to ten interesting chat between areebo and davis while the gamers stop momentarily and they it must be great for a youngster making your way in the game like joe arribo just 23 kirsten davis on your shoulder yeah absolutely he's a brilliant professional with an almighty experience you know under his belt but it's interesting to see tom whenever whenever leggy have the ball ranger who are definitely setting up in a 4-4-2 scott arfield's joining alfredo morelos and i think that's a bit just to try and you know try and not allow legia too much of the ball and uh and that's why steve davis was chatting to toribo i think to bring him into the center midfield position ryan jacks pushing out to the right yeah yeah so basically stephen davidson writing jackson real deal with them in midfield going hotline yeah maybe it's a little change that they're trying to make because certainly i think in the opening exchanges whenever rangers haven't had the ball it's been a four four two and a rainbow's been sitting right back in there with them sprayed wide morales tavernier is strong and determined in the challenge and the referee gives the award again in favor of legion you know it was lucas le kenya it's a 50 50 here for my money andy and the player for me has injured himself by trying to get a challenge after the ball had been played by tavern here yeah it's difficult to see if james taverner gets a touch in that ball then there's there's there's nothing in it at all if he doesn't get a touch it's a it's a certain free kick but i think the uh the atmosphere in here is just so hyped and there is a serious amount of tension as you see a loose pass from midfield it's uh you know it's high stakes there's a lot to play for and it's uh two very very evenly matched teams and even the most experienced player this intimidating atmosphere is making them do things that are pretty uncharacteristic to their normal game oh yeah i mean they'll they all know the importance of this first goal tom it's laggy again rangers need two if rangers got it they still might need another because you know it's one goal completely swings it the other way again so it's it's a really interesting i i don't agree with you goal rule i have to say um but that's the way it is rangers have to manage it tonight oh joe with paint in the boots he's sucking the touchline [Applause] two doubling up against him there ryan jack arfield's on the move tavernier isn't getting much joy out of rocker this evening but again the decision goes in favor of legia it looked to me as if leukemia had held the ball in there [Applause] we'll get another chance to see it here he can't do that that's crab football protecting the ball the decision has to be the other way the referee from a distance awarded to leggy and leukemia the brazilian previously with benfica and alves and portugal went down as if he was absolutely bordering on needing absolute life support machine meanwhile between the sticks alan mcgregor he's been busy on a couple of occasions but that's what you get from alan mcgregor long spells of inactivity andy that when he has to make that save he usually does some of the saves some of this years last week we're absolutely outstanding he always makes really difficult saves look so easy um and hopefully we don't need him but if we do i'm sure he'll be there if you'll get class up there off the ball but if you let the game go golsan clips it out to tavern here does we have to head it into the path of our field and gets to the turn pass aribo is central and wants it has to be brave and strong and he is paris it's joining in oh joe's ahead of him back for a reboot tries to return the ball for barachiribo does well recovers it well he's born the barista pops it in right footed maria lost the target he's underneath it the cleaning header only as far as ryan jack having your drops off and he gets it from ryan jack davis in support as well good spell for rangers and making the passes count here's our field always on the move always looking always on that half turn gets it back from ryan jack just shows too much to kaffir though velia links again to catholics davis who stops him in these tracks in the early ball over the top from vesavich turned around the corner by kelinovich the runner is vilja in catholic stands firm he's been outstanding so far nicole katich growing by the game as a top top defender and the fans enjoyed it the inspiration rangers are looking for provided by katic his rangers on the counter now ojo jack tavernier is wide on the right fires it into his path delivers early is testing the goalkeeper alex not to come well there's one where the goalkeeper is perhaps caught in two minds not the accuracy they want but signs other things are just trying to move the ball a bit quicker andy yeah fair play to you tom it's hard not to get wrapped up in this atmosphere it's absolutely brilliant but when rangers broke away there's some great defending from from kathich and and earlier from conor golson actually making a great decision just to clear his lines brilliant defending and on the counter attack rangers looking really really dangerous again because leggy have settled in the last kind of 10 minutes or so um but the fans really really getting behind the team there well let me know what it takes to win here in glasgow back in 2014 they beat celtic both home and away in the reign of henning berg the former manchester united and ranger defender he was the boss at the time and then it was determined that they had feuded an ineligible player and a female reversal went against them as golsan again has to be quick kafu comes across and goldstein does well now he'll just get it away and legend i'm knocked out because of that ineligible player himself it made progress despite losing home away however tonight we just want this job done in 90 minutes we have the fire power we have the personnel of the qualities to do so mcgregor tavern near goats and catholics baristas jack davis ojo arfield the rebel morales the staff the 11 flottering hillanda the four flanagan camara jones and stewart on the bench a wonderful determination from stephen davis well he gets a very late one there again morelos gives chase this polish side certainly up for the physical side of the game it was a very late challenge on stephen davis [Applause] certainly no rolling about though as tom as we've seen from the team too far took the took the late challenge and just got on with it rebel trying to go beyond the strikers oh joe doesn't have to close them down and keep lega inside their own final 20 years or so again it's a dangerous area to come and attack it but he is a player again who just looks well i hate to over praise him but i'll say to richard goff the way he's going about the level of aggression controlled aggression and the real world to win as well andy yeah i think the the most the most sort of impressive thing about the two of them we see james tavernier with a bit of defending to do here he does well he stand up oh the break goes in favor of leggier there's a shooting chance and alan mcgregor deals with it well again it's leukemia he's got three he's wriggled free of james tavernier seven you thought he dealt with it the break falls kindly for lucas leukemia he's got al mcgregor in his sights and all it can do is hit the target as the game again continues with a very late late challenge this time it's catholic the perpetrator on ryan jack who's down and needing some treatment but just as we spoke about earlier when you're looking for a big save and a platform to go forward from alan mcgregor delivers yeah that's bread and butter for him but we see this another late challenge in the middle of the park referee finally finally giving rangers a a free kick but uh yeah that's that's the danger tom that's that's all it takes we're really lucky you have to say she was taving here very unlucky just the the break of the ball um but alan mcgregor more than up to that no damage done ryan jack is good to go i think rangers just need to settle back in tom they've lost their way slightly leggy i think have definitely settled um you know it might just take away a bit of individual brilliance tonight that's that's the way it looks like it's going to be that you know it's been really really tight for as you said 90 minutes over there and another 35 here so far it might just take a wee bit of something special from from one of the more advanced players if you like to try to play a bit like sunday perhaps yeah absolutely and hopefully that's why this man's on the pitch yeah there's definitely a trend you can see exactly what leggy are doing whenever they get the ball they're they're not too eager to go forward they're they're happy just to keep the ball and let the minutes tick away and and then at every opportunity they get to win a free kick and slow the game down they're doing exactly that ranges are still trying to to get on top of the game and get back on top of the game because they certainly were um at the start of the game there's a switch from golsan no one gets anything on it so head coach taking on some refreshment i'll be relatively happy the way his team convert their job at the moment alexander vukovic two spells at the club as a player brian jack called into the scotland squad a hugely deserved recognition for the way that ryan jacks started the season two scotland camps previously let's hope it gets a fair crack of the whip from the tartan army and more than deserves it olsen underneath it makes the big call knocked away by a rocket katic reads it early going ahead tennis at the moment [Applause] up jack again dropping off to trying to engineer something this lego team really really work hard off the ball tom you can see exactly why they haven't conceded in their in their whole qualifying campaign so far they each to a man they've got really good shape they're really difficult to break down and find little little pockets of space and and when they're challenging they're big and strong and i do feel like it's going to have to be something special from rangers a little bit of individual bridge brilliance a set piece um or a mistake i suppose but that's just a shocking challenge that fe is a decision to make here and he goes for yellow stellarskate cautioned likewise in the first leg picked up a booking pavel stellarskate and there's no intent here to play the ball in any shape or form under little what i would love to know tom is what argument he's trying to make there with the referee once the referee goes to the bouquets his two feet are off the ground studs are up and he catches a real nasty one in jewelry but it's the worst we've seen tonight by far um and you know the referee's done well i don't think there's been a book in yet hazard that's the first so he's done well to actually keep his cards in the suppose until until that point there's no doubt uh that's a at the very least jewelry back to his feet no damage done what an environment for this young londoner though four goals already three of which have come in the european campaign embarrassed to deliver morales probably as well to cushing it back for a rebel davis shows for support lego with everyone behind the ball out to james tavern here half time six minutes away savannah looks to deliver he's going to be on rocket can he fire that end it's headed away but returned again kept alive by arsenal looking for morelos headed away by cafe oh look at mine jacks how alert know where he is they're so wealthy squeeze it back to tavern here under pressure view you fires it in headed away by left you i don't think anyone in the stadium wants half time andy you're stephen davis fancies it let's fly it comes canon back to him though barra sits for rojo he needs to stretch legia here the step over tries to keep that half yard [Applause] rangers could do is just keeping this pressure on six minutes five minutes to half time now and try and play the game in the legal half and he was looking to get involved he's been tracked by kafu because we have to get it back to bara situ launches it and again but mariella said come short after just underneath it it goes behind for a goal kick five minutes of our pulsating first half remaining at ibrox the score line ranges nil and again worse on nil as it was just a week ago after 90 minutes of end to end action range one change in the site tonight the introduction of bournemouth barisitch from last thursday with john flanagan on the bench and he's trying to get forward as an auxiliary forward when he can and steven gerrard's game plan well it's coming together to a degree it just needs that final probing pass and a genuine chance to come our way and yeah i just think because it's so tight thomas it's time to win an individual individual battles and you see there in the last few minutes you know um james tavernier getting a bit of joy on the right-hand side ryan in the individual battle steve davis getting on top of the opposition as well i think that when it's this tight you have to just match your marker up and come out the top and then and then opportunities will happen steve davis flips it through the legs of velia and there's some pressure from the ball with a blue light on it from warner bros here's tavern here oh again comes it down the line our field gathers now tavern here goes beyond them still scott arfield jack will swirl one in takes a touch first though tries to create the incisive pass with james tavernier and again it's leukemia backtracking to good effect we're actually seeing ojo slightly wider is that to create the channel for a reboot to drive into perhaps andy whereas earlier in the exchanges we saw ojo slightly narrower yeah i think the importance is just good good position all right sorry good possession um once you have that good solid possession tom you can you can look at your your positioning and how to create space but in order to to do that sort of thing you need to you need to get good solid possession of the ball and and rangers are certainly doing that just at the minute you know barracks takes it in under some genuine pressure from this rich and kafu taking over all the way back with alan mcgregor made his european debut for rangers back in 2006 against mulder of norway oj1 challenged that sums up the navy nature of this first 43 minutes andy i think he was in two minds it was a ball it was kind of between himself and and uh bonavarzic and i don't think he knew quite what was behind him but he's certainly a lot more time there just to take that one down it has it's been nervy tom there's been plenty of mistakes from both sides especially in the middle area the pitch i think where there's a lot of bodies and um you know it's just the work rate of both teams actually off the ball they're not making it easy for each other they're happy enough to sit off um the back fours if you want and they're happy enough for you to keep possession in your own half but as soon as the ball comes into that midfield area and into the final third both teams are really really on top of each other around just two or five clean sheets in the campaign so it's frugal defenses from both sides an era for either side though could indeed be pretty fatal andy yeah and i think maybe a piece of the physicality of some of these challenges the referee will i think start to give a few more free kicks maybe um and you know that might be where it comes from people quick feet there after jack had intervened to take it away from kulinovich thanks to to our commercial partners this evening joining us for all the action on rangers tv [Applause] davis our field tries to do it early it was always a very difficult ball to execute they recover well in numbers though davis spinning away from martinez but the throw-in goes in favor of leggett stephen davis with his first rangers goal came against victor bremen in the uefa cup 11 seasons ago scott hartford just looking for that little ball around the corner we've seen so much of that from him this season but unfortunately it came onto his left side and he wasn't able to just swing it round if you like cathy slipping the head away kafu scoops it away from the rebel martin's alongside with ryan jack and there's nothing in that one 45 minutes on the clock goals [Applause] i've got a chance to see this one again no wonder ryan jack's asking the question he won't change his decision there but it's six or one-half doesn't the other there's absolutely nothing in it tom um but as we said you just have to you just have to get on with it village is there and has a look at the ref claims it and gets it played ellie up to the big striker killing which turns around the corner here's the attacking toolbox the last key but oh joe up to the task i thought it was a gold kick myself even after us inside the rangers six yard box by vessel rich and alan mcgregor having words haribo's got between them as we chance to see it here again it's a great challenge it may just have broken back off jojo in the second corner of the evening for legia but there you are off the ball the referee having a word with both mcgregor and vesevich veswich turned 28 yesterday 27 caps from montenegro not quite sure which language you'll be communicating with all mcgregor in though meanwhile corner to be defended 45 minutes played one additional minute according to the fourth official which start right now a bit of pushing a bit of positioning nearly final exchanges of this first 45 action at ibrax a blank score line as things stand velia to deliver no view your fires are in there's the header just wide of the target well carlos caffu finding that corner of space to get his header away it doesn't trouble alan mcgregor vistowitz with his head and hands so that is an absolute genuine chance just as we see again andy yeah it's uh not quite sure who he gets to run on there but uh ranger's doing enough anyway i mean that would have been absolutely devastating to to concede at that point they certainly wouldn't have deserved it but i think on the whole they'll be happy with the first half they've had the the better of the opportunity certainly and it's it's down to a big a big talk now at halftime and see what they can do the rain is on at ibrox and yet the ground staff had the pitch watered almost throughout the first ten minutes of the interval tonight rangers mcgregor and goal are back four of tavern near golds and catholics barissich jack and davis in midfield ojo arfield arriba the main striker on the bench as we see the substitutes go through a bit of a warm-up obviously jordan jones has pace to burn we earlier sought a shot of jermaine defoe who's itching for game time also there philippe hillander glen camara greg stewart also involved and where's fatherhood on the change goalkeeper john flanagan is another defensive option but i'm not sure that we'll see changes as rangers take the shield first for the second half they want to start the second period the way they started the first half andy and lacey's to this lego goalkeeper radislav majeski's goal yeah you know a good start is is key but i must say when we're talking about the subs they really feel like uh like jordan jones might be the answer actually in this game it's it's gonna open up i'm sure of it uh you know joe obviously was a bit of a doubt for the game until quite late on so if there is to be a change i think that's the change we'll see and the right back stallarsky has been cautioned yeah well i mean exactly yeah that's what you want you want uh jordan jones in full flight it would be uh an absolute nightmare for him indeed no changes from either side so it's the same staff that i live in for legia who played last thursday in warsaw that's majeski stellaski left chuck d'andrea and walker kathleen martinez visavich [Applause] they're calling for urgent attention no could be a major problem born a barista he looks as if he's taking one it's almost like a boxers type cut on the edge of his eye and immediately coming across his doc waller and physio steve walker to check out the welfare of the croatian defender now it's a clash of heads effectively with nicole cartich and undoubtedly corner barracks has come off worse the vaseline is out where's your cut man you need him angelo dundee required i think it was an elbow i think it was cut as his elbows just caught porno barizek there we lack a communication maybe early in the first in the second half sorry but yeah stevie walker's got the vaseline out that's a good sign careful but it's a good sign because i would imagine that means it's just a blood injury and uh you know there's nothing broken nothing serious just a nasty one you start the second half well if you're wondering who angelo dundee was he was the greatest cuts man in well boxing parlance ever i was hence why i didn't didn't react you didn't know what an exorcist was a couple of years ago in the days of school day for andy stephen get after some axes glances right enough and of course john flanagan would be the obvious straight replacement if need be yeah you know porno barzik is still down but uh he's just up now so um that looks pretty pretty okay bit of a sore one but uh need the sunglasses tomorrow [Applause] and you have to go off just ensure there's no traces of blood potentially a a fly stitch andy just to make sure that the wound won't open again steven gerrard wants it done quickly i think he's not happy that he had to come all the way over this side instead of maybe over the far side whether that was maybe to see the fourth official before he goes back off you've cut it as well you don't mess with nico so already slotted and not the running repairs [Applause] means you could do it just slowing it down actually and allowing them back onto the pits there's no rush someone has other ideas looking for arfield he's getting a good first touch afield takes a deflection headed away again by left duke paris it's back on and straight into the action [Applause] and they lost just short of two minutes for that stoppage ryan jack [Applause] [Applause] i have absolutely no words i mean to allow the play to go on for that long and then decide at that moment to stop it is just ridiculous it's a wonderful touch from our fuel i started from tavern here morales is out the game advantage ranges three kicked up town here to deliver flights in the rebo chases it's headed away again by the striker kulinovich returned by stephen davis headed away again by rocket not the tallest but climbs well might break here from duo arriba when look who's first in support brian jack jack's spinning away again fires it in looking for our field cleared only as far as davis but his first touch goes straight to andre martin's jack again again the referee brings it back julia holds his head you scratch your head because of some of the decisions but no no at hydraulics i think he's seen the elbow here from uh from nicole cottage or sorry it was yeah he's seen the elbow but the elbow actually was at a side you know it wasn't dangerous it was just the height he jumped his elbow happened to be at the agulia's head in spaces only as far as goldstein oh great take from garfield and he's just obstructed with no attempt to play the ball andrew martinez right in front of the referee a clinical decision martin's cautioned in the first leg and that's a yellow card all day long in the normal circumstance here's steven davis joe arrival parasitch ahead of him hugging the touchline and just got on with it switch your play from davis start from here terrific touch mafia does well to hold off the challenge of rocket morelas tries to feed it in for our field but rocket gets it away again ghosts and cotton no man's land but outstanding intervention it just runs out of play though but the way he got across anticipation quite terrific and a little yeah i mean we don't like to say too much as the game's going on but those two in terms of their awareness of each other i think is is night and day maybe from even last season they really they really are there to cover each other when necessary meanwhile ten times capped swedish centre-back feeling colander is on the bench the long ball from davis it's too long for morelos as he goes shoulder to shoulder with the andre check and the keeper comes out to take control but yeah clearly the signing of philippe philander has ensured that the incumbents of the starting jerseys of catholics and golson you know you have to bring your a-game gaming game yeah i just think they've maybe together as a partnership as well they're one season in they they understand each other a little bit better um certainly lego caddish a very young centre half and um you know he's maybe understanding a little bit more about but what it takes to play for this football club conor golson has been first class i think since he since he joined and fleetwood still building his fitness as well gave a good shift on sunday at synthetic score in the betfair league cup against east 5 if the referee spotted something off the ball here a rangers needing someone to just put their foot in the ball and control the tempo and control the emotional side of the game andy i need someone to put the ball in the back of that yeah you know i just i think um i think there are players capable of doing that ryan jack steve davis joe or evo can get the foot in the ball and and can you know give good possession of the ball but unfortunately possession of the ball doesn't just equal goals and i think they need a wee spark and i think jordan jones is the man for that or but they just need you know who likes james to have an ear to to push himself further forward a great take for our field they can't link with morelos marillas drops off to keep possession and it's not out of play again by the left hook we've talked up the range of centre backs but i tell you what left hook and yandere check at the heart of the defense are more than capable too here's tavernier fires it in your post to tape [Applause] chance to see it again here andy yeah i mean i think it was scott arfield doing enough getting across the front of the goal the ball fall into alfredo morella so saying touch and hit it had to be quick and just didn't quite get enough oh joe by martinez who was the man with the earlier block on our field free kick two rangers martin's potentially walking a bit of a thigh rope with yellow cards in the first leg started as a youth exporting in lisbon oh jews just change the pace they have the undoing of martinez [Applause] i think rangers are a little bit more streetwise second half tom they're they've realized the kind of referee they're dealing with and they've taken a couple of times you know this these set pieces are invaluable and might just be what's needed banishes over the ball doctored and good to go the referee signals wait for the whistle barista to deliver golson is in their catholics too mariella's underneath it it's a clearing header there from left and launch the way by rocket no pressure on the ball when it's inside rangers territory davis again up for our field then he can't keep it pressure loses morelos chases the goalkeeper [Applause] again not just happy to head it happy to find a blue shirt jack releases a rebo now he's going in the right direction though backtracking his visavix kafu takes over he's got leukemia wide cutting in and davis deals with it uncharacteristic there of joe orebo just didn't have the the eyes in the back of his head there to realize that there was a man coming up his inside but it's it's just so delicately poised this one tom it's very very nervy out there well katich wins it cleanly from velia viuya goes to ground and kafu and the follow-up also hits the deck and wins the free kick as a change in personnel for lego they've called for jaroslav nisgada he scored two on sunday in the win against lks lords it's striker for striker first change of the evening for legia and here's godda off the bench jolinovich leaves the field 24 year old striker hadn't scored since april before getting two on sunday and there's velya with the set way taking a long time to assess what he's wanting to do deep delivery and comfortable clutch from alan mcgregor there's one v2 in there as it comes out the night sky and a comfortable back header from stalaski to his keeper there's a hand in there there from alan mcgregor i think he he was looking for alfredo morelos i think he looked for a wee bit of cut spinning the ball maybe to try and hold it up but it didn't he got too good at contact on it and went the whole way through our field chasing shadows lego making the passes counts there's the first introduction from nia's god eyes away from goldson stayed in his feet too they cut back and it's dealt with by davis at the expense of a corner third corner of the evening to legia i don't think rangers have had one no i don't think so it's uh i have to say a brilliant uh brilliant turn there from nisgara and steve davis connor goes and doing enough to get back and yeah another another free kick for for rangers to defend and yeah he's going to be playing the game in these areas doug goldston just a wee bit flat-footed and fair played in years ago that didn't go to ground immediately left golson corner here to be taken by vacco villain it's a busy area comes off the top of the head of rank jack fired back into the mix knocked away davis pressure's still on here takes a huge deflection headed away by conor golson right in front of alan mcgregor get out is the call it's now wide for wilya tracked by jack fires and takes an awkward bounce and gathered by alan mcgregor there's a bit of a follow through there perhaps in alan mcgregor he's an angry man no he's a word to the referee and you just get the impression right enough that the referee will take on board what has been said to him is near's goddard who's quickly over i'm not sure there was any contact mcgregor has it in safe custody yeah we don't like to say it as much tom but you can certainly influence this referee you know he looks for any sort of a any sort of a dive or a call or a shout for anything and you seem to get it and then just just have to play the game a little bit and i think that's hands-on there but if he lets it go [Applause] the referee trying to let the game flow what's the good thing jack decisions can be questionable but it's a good thing now stephen davis takes over in the real estate central here scott arfield he's found james tavernier back across the face turn behind rangers get the first quarter of the evening igor levchu cuts out the ball intended for alfredo morelos and perhaps perhaps andy little james tavernier might have gambled with a shot on target i think that's that's what i was crying out for thomas brilliant play from steve davis scott arfi lovely interlinking play and releasing james tavernier and how often have you seen him put the foot through it there and find the back of the net tavern you're on the corner pops it in doesn't beat the first defender leukemia looks to keep possession it's having your back tracks jack has to get something on it around the corner view yeah there's a race on here but again a timely block from born a barista that will come at the cost of a yellow card but that's one for the team they probably had to take as blood is spotted on the eyebrow of born of barista may have to leave the field for some treatment yeah i mean it's a very very sensible one i think um he's looked very very lively since since coming on the pitches and he's got and i think rangers need to get to grips with them good and early and but that was a a smart booking from from bornavara baravis there yeah nia's got it on target twice on sunday in the 3-2 win against lps luds a team that showed eight changes from last thursday for leggier but a huge three points for them doesn't get away from our field though now davis driving out morales tries to find oh joke with one or two that aren't imposing himself in the game right now ranges down to 10 as barissicks waits to get back on after some running repairs to the eye injury jack again intervenes davis releases a field up for morelos ojo's in support i feel the central here's rojo delivers early looking for a field comes off afternoon's head not with the trajectory it was after and gathered by the goalkeeper majeski but also busting a gut to get centro to give an option for sheojo he delivered early and scott arfield perhaps just underneath it andy just the decision making tom and the final third hasn't been right tonight for rangers a number of opportunities now where they've maybe just picked their own pass at the wrong time or or taking a shot when they shouldn't have and you know these are these are good opportunities that they're creating but i think it just requires a wee bit of calmness in that final third a little bit better from alfredo morelos there he's been guilty a couple of times second half of just looking to flick around the corner but took a touch there nice turn and the way they went interesting both teams have used 25 players so far in their respective seasons morales does so well takes it in stallarsky with the nibble on them already yellow carded morales goes to ground free kick rangers morales has a look to the technical area he knows germain default will be itching for some game time someone here works it back to niko katich his sixth eurostat for the season tonight niko carthage one goal of course when you look at the two teams tom and the stats the 25 players each they've had they're unbeaten in 11 games rangers have beaten it in 11 games and leggy are beating in nine there's there's there's a number of stats there where you know i'm not surprisingly i'm not surprised why it's nil nil and we're 62 minutes into the second tie here barissic can't capitalise his clearance for a rebound found after yields holds off kafu works it wide again for bernab it's too deep it's chased by a tower near though tavern looks to swirl one in it comes back off louise rucker i mean just trying to keep the intensity in the game quick throw tavern here for jack gets it back finds rojo taverner does so well away from vieliya refu lets it go there's no intent a rebel really is out the game it's with barisitch parasitch works it back to jewelry bow he tries to find that field but it's cut off by kafu stepping in again there is barista with a step over takes a huge deflection rangers will get the corner here in fact it doesn't go for the corner it's the throw in the good from bournemouth it's supporting the attack from the wide area and it's john flannigan and i think that might be the last action for the evening for bournemouth he's certainly given a good shift tonight got cluttered by his own teammate he's giving us a good 63 minutes into the match for bournemouth and john flanagan his replacement yeah i think you can see he uh he definitely took a short one i mean they're they're doing absolutely the right thing and i'm being sensible he's clearly not quite recovered from that head injury and uh john flanagan planning it more than more than up to it and uh he'll slot in there nicely he'll certainly give you additional defensive cover in from tarnier thumped away again he might also allow this man james tavernier one of our our best attacking threats no doubt about it creates so many opportunities it might just allow him a little bit more of a license tom to go is that about flanagan's discipline effectively yeah flanagan's much more defensive-minded he'll sit in tight with with uh kathich and golson allow james tavanir to play a lot higher as you see straight away kathich with a big switch knocked into the feet of ojo from tavernier jack in support after the central fires it in for morelos can't keep it and martinez gets it away vilja one over the top there's a race on here that's wilson with absolute distinction cushion's ahead of his range just keep going i think you can tell that immediately james tavernier now knows he can go tom he knows that john flanagan although he's about to work with just keeping the ball they're trying to move leggy about trying to speed up the pace of the pass jack now i field is going central oh joe's ahead of him tavernier is wide now he looks to deliver it's a real curl on it underneath and headed just off target again he must have seen that one very late indeed left chuck comes across to give them well no sight of the traveling ball whatsoever the great delivery traveling here and marilla's just underneath it it just took a slight nick off is it left chick's head i think you'll see there just deviated does enough to to take it away from alfredo morelos unfortunately in 11 games 15 if you include friendlies this season a little wrestling going in there and the refugee lets it go [Applause] sovereign years planting spirey side flanagan onford barisitch a late dash to get involved he gets a late one for these troubles our fuel keeps the ball nonetheless three kick rangers category over the ball just now ranges look to reshape regroup time to get at legia 66 on the clock cash great ball for the delivery here's jojo he's got a trick or two would you files ahead now underneath it didn't attack it now a bit of movement in the air the sieves are fed up morelos it drifts behind for the goal kick is rain just trying to unpick this lego defense inception of a goal that could just about seal the try would you again delivering where did it go wrong andy little it was just a slightly more of a flighted ball i think tom the wind you could you can see the wind actually in the in the flags above the stadium here it's it's pretty strong and with rangers and it just took it away from alfredo morelos there make that double change i think colin stewart the rangers goalkeeping coach is also there furiously signaling i think legger might be also thinking about refreshing the personnel with 23 minutes remaining we did lose around just short of two minutes at the start of the second half with a head injury to born on a barracks remember let's just play to finish tonight at this stage of proceedings andy could be a long night um i was i was starting to think about that tom and uh i'm at dinner no i'm only joking i was starting to think about and you can't help it sunday you know it's massive and i think steven jared would really love to see this game finished and of course you know i'm win this in 90 minutes um it's not easy to go thursday sunday i haven't played 90 and an extra half an hour if you like so the likes of jordan jones coming on hopefully he's the man to spark that oh great movement from oh joe and he's got it from tavern here martinez cuts the cross out at source and then just have another corner martin's backtracking there joined in 2018 from olympiacos tavernier on the corners again flanagan's minding the shop golson and kathich have gone right into the lego 18-yard box it's comfortably headed away by andre check flanagan pounces on it but his ball intended for tavernier go straight to martinez here's the counter attack jones has to be patient he's ready for an introduction when it breaks down deep inside ranges territory and rain just go to the other end through stephen davis working through the gears slips it wide for tavern here james tavernier cuts it back for julia rebel puts on here here's rojo shooting chance fisted away by the goalkeeper only as far as morelos majeski stretching pushing away the odual effort here scott arfield clips it in now are you underneath it oh joe chases knocked away by levchuk the game exploding into life rangers defending momentarily now they're on the counter attack they're looking to put this one into the net it's into the mix again travel near mariella's backstick can they get a touchdown to get shot away i'll freedom a chance agonizingly inches wide of the target and conor golks and couldn't get anything on it as rangers at the moment laying siege to radislav majeski's goal in sets of a goal they would see them in the hat tomorrow in monaco for the group stages of the europa league take a breath tom yes there's a bouquet in all of that there was a booking for for james having here there tom just at the end but brilliant for rangers so agonizingly close there from alfredo morelos takes a little nick off the defender and just past the far the far post as you can see now james tavinair over the over the corner kick [Applause] that passenger plate joining bournemouth barracks who sins left the field and stalaski so three of the four fullbacks tonight jordan jones waiting to come on likewise dominic knight and ivrex breaks into song tavernier with the corner pop back in off the head of alfredo morelos arfield thumbs it back in there and legend get it away eventually flanagan jack tavernier inspirational long deep ball and certainly morales takes it early pitches awkwardly and gathered again by rather slav majeski [Applause] really difficult skill in that win but alfredo morelos making a half decent effort there a snapshot after the deep ball we're seeing more of morales peeling off to play almost in the shoulder of the fullback rather than the center back i think the two separate half as you touched on have been really really physical with them all game and he hasn't had much joy taking the ball in defeat so maybe he's thinking peeling off the back in the areas i guess there's on this one as the keeper again comes majeski majestically sweeps it away he looks italic the young polish keeper just 19 years of age jordan jones finally getting the chance to come on to the pitch now and what an atmosphere that was for him to stand and wait do you think anyone particularly wants to leave the field yeah i feel end of the match that's quite a change the dynamic andy little yes it will be um sorry i was just admiring the fact that scott arfield came off the other side of the pitch and never understood they've changed that rule now and he's he's walking around the back of the goals here and getting a great a great reception from the rangers fans he'll probably take a seat there in the coupling and join in careful all legal of course yeah no i think he's the man tom i do i really do if he gets the space and gets the opportunities to to go out a leggier back four who must be fairly tired they've had a bit of an onslaught recently jack pouncing on the loose ball tavernier introduces rojo he's immediately on the offensive again hangs up towards the back post jones will keep him in play morelos lays off also in attendance is stephen davis here's morelos still in the box back for stephen davis now trying to stand up the full back gets a break now he fires it in chasing it later and it just evades both tavernier and dojo at that back post drifts out of play but rangers at the moment have the scent of a wind in their nostrils they certainly have the wind the actual wind at the other backs as well they are um they do have the wind and they are on top tom and we've had a win in the nostrils and the wind in their sails we have you know it's still been this the story of this match though you see a bit of color from fans yeah they've got the flares going [Applause] i think that's all about trying to inspire the team who have been a bit flat in the last 10 minutes or so oh great feet from oh joe holds off not one but two challenges tries to find davis but really has other ideas [Applause] gathered now by nescovich good from jordan jones good impact already nice ball into the box there and he's certainly getting involved it breaks kindly here picked up again in there rangers still have some defending to do catholic works it wide well read by john flanagan taking out the play free kick to rangers and the rangers fans react to the flares as the smoke encircles ibruts the game continues wonderful run jordan jones still jordan jones can he find dojo it takes a huge deflection and it supports tavernier he does hit it eventually charles down though by the backtracking routine tell you what it has created some atmosphere tom you're stephen davis thick smoke across the pitch it's like when you're sitting at traffic lights and someone's got a vape in the car and you see this huge buffer smoke this is absurd it's bizarre the game continues jack gets out it's having your thumbnail and it's a decent delivery knocked away yet again by left chick jack again sees it so early variation and delivery from tavernier again it's cleared only as far as ryan jack [Applause] jack wants to give and go whichever nearest he got enough room to deliver looks to combine with jewelry bow but it's cleared again that's nico cartich believe me i think they're afraid by the way and if the flares ignited when they were buying the lyria ultras when their team are under the course it's been an effective way to slow the game down yeah yeah there's an argument for that it's rangers are definitely on top you know and disappoint them we'll just have to sit and wait you can't see much you can see the on the on the cameras here you really can't see anything we can see a little bit more than that but the rangers rangers players are in getting a good talking too from from steven jarrett speaking to conor golson and both teams are taking on refreshment and i'll tell you what the smoke from these players catches you even her position here on the gantry yeah it's the one thing it's done though is ignited the the rangers fans i have to say they're in they're in full voice it's it's a it's i'm not you don't approve of this but the atmosphere is absolutely brilliant if only some one of these players just needs to go make themselves a hero and you know go go and see this off now in the last 13 15 minutes both teams taking on some refreshment both teams getting instruction from the relative technical benches it's mad it's mad to think of it but i still think calmness is the word tom rangers just need to be calm and that final third pick the right pass one thing though as well there's been an awful lot of good good deliveries from james taven here on the right-hand side there not not one range of players get getting across that front post and making it difficult for for the legal center house to to defend i don't know how cool they might be in warsaw but in glasgow we're underway again thanks for joining us for an absolutely captivating evening on rangers tv but no goals to report 90 minutes last week 78 minutes this week can't separate the sides the other change for lydia was the introduction of naj for stalaski up from morelos picked up cafe squeezed away davis good decision again back there from nico carnage no you know especially with this smoke you have to be sensibly you know he played the percentages and went for the longer ball the other point when we haven't seen the introduction yet of germaine defoe is there potential that both camps have to think about an extra half hour andy yeah i think so but i also think if you need someone to come on and get your goal in that six yard box that 18 yard box there's been a lot of really good opportunities and one man who knows how to put the ball in the back of the net is jamie and four i wouldn't be surprised if if we do see him on before the 90 minutes even you know 10 minutes be more than enough for that man and a little bringing great insight to the ranger's tv coverage this evening it's having your climb so well flicks on the header gathered by jojo support as ever from ryan jack he just runs into traffic loses out to raqqa rangers are looking for some inspiration on this day in 1964 the legend that is willie budd johnston made his rangers debut in a 3-1 win against st johnston but johnson the hero in barcelona 72 with two goals to lift the european cup in this cup and of course one for his psychic colin steen bob johnson always a pleasure to be in his company meaning his rangers debut this day in 1964. there's june so what a header that was from flanagan actually jones loses out to naj i'm impressed more he was able to see it then yeah [Applause] [Music] [Applause] i think you're spot on tom that the flares have brought a bit of carnage to the game rangers are really on top totally dominating the ball lots of opportunities and nikki really looked like they were struggling to keep up and that we break has just given them the opportunity to settle back down again the referee is a quick head count meanwhile jermaine defoe and greg stewart go through the warm-up routine ryan jack again sees it early crashes it off velya gets a touch that finds davis as well jack up close and personal down again goes martinez and the free kick goes in favor of the leg yeah they're trying to do a number on this here andy i think that was a wee silly one from ryan jack i have to say it was you know we didn't need to go and make that challenge especially in this area dangerous area and we don't need to give leggy any opportunities to we'll slow the game down and create themselves an opportunity remember sunday the old film game high noon kickoff sunday the first of september and as ever rangers tv will be there here's villia with the free kick flights it in catechu the clearing header returned again by naj chased by catholic holds off ojo julia obliges gets it back to leukemia it's madelia's coming back getting involved and it's a rebel who had view you covered perhaps slightly late free kick again to the yeah nine minutes but the by my account at the moment with a two minute injury to burn a barracks inside the first five minutes of the second half and the two-minute stoppage to let smokey joe clear there's going to be some have you done that's for sure andy there will be and but this is this really does play into peggy's hands you know rangers need to be streetwise or a little bit better the second half of winning their fair share of the free kicks but at this crucial time you can't be giving away set pieces in this area new zealand he's the man who makes they get tick gets it in flicked on and alan mcgregor has to deal with it you know it's just helped towards the goal area there by nia's goddamn and al mcgregor watching it all the way takes no chances he's got to just helps it into the mix kathy's does well to get in front of all mcgregor and mcgregor just turns it behind very intelligent from one intelligent from catastrophe you can see exactly what he was doing he really made life a lot easier for for alan mcgregor although it wasn't easy at all and he dealt with it really really well but you know here we go tom you know it's yeah three or four minutes now we spent just just watching two two three kicks in the corner and they just need to be more aware of that and and start playing the game back up again the next attendance 45 thousand four hundred and sixty three we know why we're slightly down in numbers but the rangers fans inside the stadium tonight impeccably behaved and i wonder if the uefa delegates may be just thinking about the intervention of the flares from the polish farms as then comes the corner headed away by flanagan first issue is martinez francis it gets some dip on it it's over the top nonetheless and undoubtedly the wee bit breathing space that legia got when the game was stopped has come to the read yeah but i think it has to be a lesson for rangers you know they've they've they've you know the the architects of their own problems they're two silly silly free kicks and and obviously the corner there at the end but we need to be you know back on top again as they were before the before the incident and it's just all a wee bit loose in a bit around there the referee spots that one look here the brazilian catching james tavern here bit of a mix-up between gioribo and ryan jack [Applause] well we talked about the navy nature of this match no yellow card for leukemia and those tense incidents and situation continues to get cranked up long from golsan wonderful touch from tavernier who joe takes over now telling your drops off and gets it back from joe would you again now he fires it in early looking for morelos at the back post is jones trying to keep it alive bit of a push in there is the suggestion as morales gets up close on yandere rangers have certainly had lots of variation tonight and a little but the polish defense are well drilled well schooled and organized in the extreme yeah you know my thoughts going into the game certainly were that it might have been more of the same more of the same of what we what we had last week and and that's how it's how it's turned out it might just be the one goal if we see one um that wins this and rangers just need to a wee bit more clinical final third you know composure calmness over those chances that they get because they've created certainly created a lot more chances tonight than than leggy have um you just need one genuine golden opportunity that could see rangers in the group stages i have the two being stole down the line by naj still problems for rangers shooting chance well again he's quick to get across and support the substitute jaroslavniya's god up not for the first time tonight showing all his strength as he tries to find the goal here for lydia he's very determined gets away from tavernier the ultimate shot will be disappointing go on his rangers go to the other end the long searching ball will see ojo which looking delivery squeezed away by young raycheck only as far as tavernier tavernier is deflected oh and the goalkeeper stretching ensuring he doesn't get troubled under his crossbar the ball just drifts onto the roof of the net and ranges from the corner andy that's it tom getting to the byline that's what i've you know been calling for and too many of ranger's deliveries have been coming from deeper areas which are a lot easier to defend traveling here again on the corners in just fourth of the second half kathich wants a deep delivery morales is coming short there's the head of kathich well he did well to lose his markup he got a good clean header on it just couldn't get it on target and it's in with the fans how's behind the goal protected by vladislav majeski good delivery tavernier determination catholics just couldn't hit the target excellent delivery from james taverner off the set piece nickel carrots did absolutely everything he can but not an easy one not an easy one to get over the top of that and keep it down the rain continues to come down over ibrox [Applause] launched in behind ranger's rearguard again katic will just screen it as well to let it go behind outstanding performance tonight from niko kathy chandi yeah he's been he has been outstanding wolfie and uh both conor golson have been look really assured so far anyway and it's it's some battle out there tom i don't think i've seen a game so intense and you know there's individual battles going on all over the pits really really physical both sides there's been mistakes there's been little loose passes but i think that's because of the level of energy from from teams out of possession you know they're not making it easy for each other and as a result you're seeing some mistakes and bits of loose play here and there flanagan gets it up to morales does well to keep possession jordan jones takes over tries to work through the gears jones driving into the box and has his pocket picked ultimately by the substitute dominic nadjie the hungarian wonderful division from stephen davis gets rangers going again here's sheojo kind of getting shot away and again the goalkeeper takes a good step to his right before gathering it but the explosive effort from joe testing the goalkeeper majeski it all starts with stephen davis's awareness oh joe gets everything behind it fine save from majeski yeah brilliant press in a midfield from steve davis creating the opportunity oh joe cutting it on to his left side and lovely strike but a little bit too far out maybe in order to test the goalkeeper [Applause] well it's time for heroes or villains ryan jack up for morelos there is no flag or rather there is no [Applause] you won't miss a kick of the ball should this go to an additional 30 minutes we've now played one hundred and eighty minutes between the famous glasgow rangers and lego warsaw and we can't separate the sides there's a chance here from this goda he's going to kangaroo at his feet golson tracks him he's good again hits the target alan mcgregor again pulls the rabbit out of the hat as legia trying hitting the counter attack chance to see it again here he's going as cool his cam is collective and he gets it on target but alan mcgregor has looked so assured from everything he's done this evening andy little yeah he has i mean that again it's bread and butter for for a goalkeeper like him but it just shows you how easy it is just one long hopeful ball points as kindly and leggy have a good opportunity over the top when i take from jewelry bowl can he find a finish here's morelos comes cannoning back off yandere check pressure still going on the step over now he clips it in no takers headed away by naji arimo tries to [Music] six additional minutes to replay jones delivers [Applause] is scott arfield is around the length of the sideline there to get with it get with the team glenn camaras followed him steven jared's followed him saying get up here you're coming on [Applause] alfredo morelos jones for the delivery and this time he plants his head up deep into the neck oh alfredo no real lost his rangers one lego nil what a time to score andy little absolutely awesome tom but i can't help but just watch the bench here it's stephen jarrod gary mcallister trying to try to get the boys back in trying to get them to settle him but sorry back to the goal back to alfredo morelos we knew he had a great opportunity in the first half that he very very uncharacteristically missed and he's never going to miss the second chance comes his way big big occasion big man it's his eighth european goal in the campaign glenn camara coming on now tom as i said they were in the carnage of the celebrating he was dragged back up and told to get ready [Applause] they will be introduced two minutes under the belt of the trying to get away from jack digs out the delivery thumped away as far as martinez gets both sides brilliant wins the free kick terrific from alfredo morelos the buffalo has charged lady warsaw oh oh some extras here it's quite a bit nasty jordan's in the middle of it where you're in danger of losing the plot the referee gets involved it was visceral blocking jones catherine wants a piece of the action right in the middle of two is nico cartich who gets alfredo morelos away from the scene of the crime [Music] and the rangers fans what a terrific evening a hard heart shift resilience and tenacity paying off as the referee has to take some control here james stamina is a skipper offering some legals for jordan jones and the referee takes the stinger proceedings with a double yellow card it's igor levchik cautioned for legate and jordan jones picking off a booking for rangers but we waste another 30 valuable seconds and a little sort of what to say theory is absolutely buzzing tom just delighted to be here and be a part of it and hopefully they can see this out they need to get the heads on need a couple of experienced players pull their pull the players back in looks like jordan jones is going to push slightly further forward when when glenn camara finally gets the chance to get onto the pitch no infringement which pops it back to where it came from morales goes to ground clip rocker not happy that morales has gone to ground the referee over free kick to rangers thinking back to that goal it's a stunning header from alfredo morelos but the june's boy from your part of the world of northern ireland what a delivery i didn't even know he delivered a tomb obviously carried away ibrut is bouncing we'll finally see now glenn kamara getting the opportunity to get on the pitch she's uh waited long enough and shea joe's coming off i think hold you off camaro on take your time they're holding up the subway because nobody's leaving 95 minutes on the clock range just won wars on nil that's 499 european goals in competitive action for this famous football club nothing silly here tom just keeps the ball up here back in back in regroup respect for the legion they're a tough nut to crack bit rangers just kept at the mandy let's keep going just keep going that's all [Applause] [Music] 30 seconds remaining of the added on six minutes [Music] big win summoned big win big win kathich we got away with that one can i suggest davis kicks for touch [Music] [Applause] cliver gets in front of his man wins the free kick awesome from nico carrick there's my man of the match tom nico cut not not alfredo morelos although or hard not to give it to him after the goal but nikko carrick for me has been absolutely outstanding and he's just showed it and those two pieces of play which are just as important as as as that man putting the ball in the back of the neck niko cartilage two long balls up goes there and wins both of them alfredo morelos the poster boy the boy with a golden goal niko katich the rock solid defender man of the match what a thrilling 96 minutes [Applause] well the sponsors tonight agree with andy little nicole katich gets the nod we're deep beyond the 96. kathich again wins header yeah will play europa league football with the draw on monday in monaco bring on anyone here at ibraxand that is the message unbelievable tom i tell you it it took so long for that for that chance that final that chance game but
