Rangers vs PSV

Rangers host PSV in the first leg of an intriguing Champions League playoff encounter. A place in the group stage is at stake.

4 mins from kickoff: Here come the teams, stepping out to a ferocious din and a downpour. We know what it's like to be supported in this way, that's why we can relate to the support here [at Rangers] and what it does to a team." On their riotous run to the Europa League final last season and in the previous Champions League preliminary round against Union St Gilloise, Rangers have harnessed the roar of Ibrox in high-intensity second legs to get themselves over the line. The forward sashays past a couple of challenges but then overplays it and it's a goalkick. McLaughlin just sold Goldson short and he had to hoof into the stands before giving his goalkeeper a disgruntled glare. Goldson fails to clear the latest left-wing corner and Sangare picks up the ball in the melee to shovel home a left-footed finish. The referee seems to enjoy this sort of thing a lot less than Graeme Souness and tells them to pack it in. Orsato went over to the Rangers bench to signal the ball striking Teze's sleeve is okay under the current interpretation of the rules. Yes, the conditions are wet and slippery, but that's a shambles from the PSV goalkeeper, who lets the ball squirm from his grasp and cannot stop it from crossing the line. Then a nutmeg as part of a run that led to the corner for the first goal. Tavernier controls on his chest and Tillman's run creates a lane for the pass. Are the sides ready to shake hands on this and go again in Eindhoven at two apiece?
