Yeah, I didn't see the coverage as all that surprising really. We have to remember that all media platforms will look to manufacture some sort of controversy and, as Scotland's premier team, we'll bear the brunt of that. It's important to pick the right battles when complaining about this stuff or you just look desperate.

I get the impression some Rangers fans won't be content unless Sportscene focuses on every debatable decision that doesn't go our way.

Never mind all that, get stuck intae they Walloons, Rangers.

To think that a couple of hours ago we were fretting over Monaco or PSV 😆

Another summer and another great gesture from us, giving free Champions League money to another team. Dreadful, just utterly dreadful.

The game is on Premier Sports. You can watch it on RTV if you live overseas...wink, wink.

A player worth the admission money a great entertainer.

The Europa League is the better competition anyway...

Terrible ju-ju, buster. Rousseau sees this and you’re looking at a ban.

Look - why shouldn't we do to them what Malmo did to us? We've nothing to fear after Dortmund and Eintracht. We don't deserve it if we fail to beat Union though.

They'll be a decent side. Not world beaters but not walkovers either. We've beaten better but lost to worse.

if i ever hear anyone slagging kents contributions again......

Absolutely horrendous , to have players like Matondo , Colak not touching the ball or doing anything is incredulous

We have started worse than we played in the 1st half

Started well then ended the half lucky to be only one down. Over to Gio to change things, it ain't working. Have to be careful here or the tie could be more or less over before the second leg.

Midfield no existent - Jack and Kamara way off it. Up against it here unless we improve

It appears that they take the approach that if you're not on the board then you don't have significant control. King, for example, has been removed from it. I'd usually take it based on shareholders rather than directors, but I can understand the logic of them doing it this way.

I hope no one thinks they have to watch or listen to the BBC just because it happens to be broadcasting. Why would any Rangers fan be concerned whether or not the BBC sends people to Belgium?

Yeah let's get past USG and worry about it if we do. We have a chance and the loser of the next round gets 5 million as a consolation payment. That's a player.

My first Old Firm match at Parkhead, it was 1st January'66. The pitch was a sheet of ice, the trackside contained a couple of dozen hay bales. Davy Wilson notched in the first minute and the half time the score remained nil - one to the good guys. As stated, a couple of Sellik layers came out in the second half in trainers, John Hughes was wearing white baseball boots. He demolished us in the second period, they hit the net five times without reply.

I know an English lady who regularly travels to see this Belgian side. From what I gather, they have a similar appeal to that of St Pauli (trendy, with fans who have pictures of Che Guevara up in their bedsits). Get intae them Rangers!

Seems weird to be bricking it about this before we even get a look at USG could be huge as one side makes us decent favourites and the other big underdogs.

You mean the plucky little Belgians are going to stand fast and repel the invader? Always a first time, I suppose.

We looked like world beaters against Real Madrid but then Malmo, Dundee Utd and Malmo showed that not to be the case.

That's the spirit! No surrender!

I'm still trying to work out how we are planning to utilise Colak, Matondo, Lawrence, Tilleman et all to actually create chances? Seeing us with 2 players hugging the right flank with 15 yards between them was baffling to say the least.

Baffled by so many things tonight. How bad our players were. Our lack of creativity. Our tactics. All this against a fairly average side IMO.

I had a bad feeling pre-match but this is worse than I imagined. There are NO positives from this performance but huge questions of the team, players and most importantly the management and coaching staff. Let's not kid ourselves we could and should have lost by 4 or 5 goals tonight. This has been a bit of a skelping. Hope I'm wrong, but can't see us over turning this.

There's no point blaming certain players. Other than McLaughlin, the entire team was abysmal. Worst I've seen in a long time.

Ok Rangers...we worked out that Goldson, Sands and Lundstrum can pass the ball back on forth to each other with ease. Let's try to be a bit more ambitious in the next 45 mins. Oh...and we miss Kent badly.

Sorry to be pedantic pwick but why oh why are wearing this strip again? If anything this a clash with a light coloured top and dark shorts. We should be wearing our traditional blue.

It's too early with this new set up of players to know if this a good team or a bad team? Time will tell. C'mon Rangers!!

That’s when it all started to go wrong.

I agree, those lines depend on the timing of when the ball was kicked and on tight calls a TV station could, if it wanted, probably tweak and present the case it wants to. It would be good to know how VAR actually determines this exact moment and the technology used.

The ref had blown his whistle before the ball went in the net so VAR couldn't have changed anything anyway.

One thing's for sure: I definitely don't want to hear any early season rustiness as an excuse; we looked fit against Spurs and West Ham and they clearly were not playing friendlies. Anyway we should have got this sorted by now - we should have beaten Malmoe.

A lot of teams start the season with several new players, having lost regulars - that includes tonight's opponents. Injury/fitness wise, the biggest misses are Kent and Morelos but we have a big enough squad to do it without them. Matondo has already shown what a handful he can be and Colak has looked sharp.

Most like Matondo (if fit) on the left, Tillman central and Lawrence on the right but I'm sure any combination of those three could work or Wright may retain his starting spot also.

I think there has been a tendency to overstate Bassey's achievements at Rangers. He was good and certainly getting better but he still has some way to go, as I believe we will see at Ajax. The good news is he will probably be far better player in a couple of years.

Never in doubt. It's just the subject of your expertise that remains unclear.
