DMAA

Game over

We’re struggling here, they are hard to break down and they are comfortable

This looks bad

Professional divers this mob

Arfield struggling to make an impact, might be worth bringing Hagi on and pushing Aribo back one. Aribo isn’t getting much joy anyway.

We complain about Scottish refs but IMO European refs are worse every time, they have made football a non-contact sport.

That booking is a disgrace!! Misses the next game!

You gave me a heart attack posting that so long after their goal, I thought they’d scored a second!

Good move, Morelos jumped too soon I think

Yeh I’m a bit disappointed about Helander in particular, I think he’s a key player. My guess is they decided that Sima’s pace is too much of a danger, and maybe they are right. Hagi I can understand, it’s a tie we win if we don’t concede and Aribo is always a risk on the right side of the midfield 3, but Aribo’s form is probably a little bit better than Hagi’s at the moment and he caused them more problems last week.

Huge game. Every round we get past builds our reputation, fills the coffers and tops up the co-efficient. We are certainly favourites; Gerrard has lost only 1 out of 20 home EL ties, Slavia have a very patchy away record With the away goal in the bag they need a goal and we don't We held them off at their fortress, even when our game preparations were interrupted by celebrations They had an away league game on Sunday (4 days before game) whilst we've had a full week to rest and prepare. Psychologically I think we have the advantage after they threw everything at us and didn't get the home win, epitomised by McGregor's save Zima suspended, he's played 90 mins in each of their last 8 EL matches (albeit the on-loan Simon Deli, who turned down Rangers last summer for Club Brugge, seems an able replacement)

Pointless and it always has been.

That's incredible. It's going to be hard to replicate this in future. Next season we will have 5 Scottish teams in Europe so points earned by Rangers and Celtic will be diluted somewhat. I believe this season we have been awarded 0.5 for a win, next season this will be 0.4 per win. Ukraine's slippage in the rankings means the inverse will be true for them, they are losing a place I am pretty sure so Shaktar and Dinamo Kiev's points will tally up quicker than ours. Edit: Ukraine will still have 5 places next season which is good news for us. I believe it will be Czech Republic, Croatia and Greece who will benefit from losing the 5th spot.

I think he is a quality player. Fun fact, Goldson and Helander were signed for a combined £6.5m, £500k less than Celtic paid for Christopher Jullien ?

Yes, he provides a bit of defensive discipline and aggression too compared to Aribo.

Guaranteed violence and arrests if that happens.

Very hard to decide. McGregor obviously saved us in the end, and made some other good saves too. Patterson and Goldson both did well and made some big blocks. Patterson also provided energy down the right hand side all night and his pace was vital in stopping some dangerous counter attacks. Aribo grew into the game and was probably our main man going forward for a spell in the second half. Hagi somehow managing to get to that ball and direct it across the goal got us the goal. Morelos was altogether very good. They didn't do their homework, they got too tight to him and played right into his hands at times. I've gone Helander because although he did have some stray passes and had 1 or 2 shaky moments I thought he was a rock for most of the game and stopped Kuchta, who I think is a very good forward, from getting much joy at all.

Arfield did his job well, I felt much better when he came on because he provides more protection than Aribo and has more energy than Davis. Aribo was doing well, but I felt Roofe was brought on with only 10 minutes left as his hold play is good and he is a goalscorer so if the game got stretched we had a better chance of scoring on the break with him on. I think Kent was kept on because of his defensive work, you have to remember that 1-1 was a good result for us, otherwise I think Wright would have come on.

Slavia’s away European results this season Midtjylland 4-1 Slavia Prague Hapoel Beer Sheva 3-1 Slavia Prague Nice 1-3 Slavia Prague Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 Slavia Prague Leicester 0-2 Slavia Prague

The opposing right back, Bah, was very good too. They picked him up in January for £1.5m. Just shows the bargains that are there to be found with the right scouting.

Good result, happy with that. Especially given our weekend celebrations, I was worried of the effect it would have. I think we will be in a better position next week to take the game to them. A lot of good performances out there again tonight too, special mention has to go to Patterson who barely had a senior appearance to his name a few weeks ago and he doesn’t look out of place in the last 16 of the Europa league.

Can always count on Rangers scoring in Europe. Big away goal and hopefully confidence boost. Excellent from Hagi to make that ball. Massive bobble and it wasn’t easy to direct it back in.

Yes!!!

Stanciu knows how to win a free kick

They are very hard working, hard team to counter attack
