My thoughts too, we seem to be rushed and making errors

so are they when pressured. Both teams trying to assert dominance in the game, exactly how football should be played.

Davis is a man down and I’m sick of hearing otherwise

Him having the ball always results in us going backwards usually to McGregor

Let’s not kid ourselves here

Benfica have got some brilliant players 

A win tonight is absolutely brilliant 

 We sell ourselves short when we win these games.

Victims of our own success in Europe in a way. They are an excellent team.

Watching it online, mate. Not sure which channel it corresponds to. 

Got it. 

[Drunk and disorderly. 14,418]

Loving our pace and commitment.  Even Roofe and Morelos are putting good tackles in for the cause.

[Laudrup1984 25,100]

Brilliant header from Alfie.

Benfica are a very good European side BTW. You can see from this game they should be in the CL

[chris182 6,289]

The crowd noise is just awful

So should we. We are definitely that level.

Our work rate here is superb .It has to be as they have some real skilful players .

[Jamie0202 12,272]

Not even nearly offside.

McGregor must have about a 5% pass completion rate. Distribution is honking  

Does my head in,it’s the same kick out all the time.

[Drumloyal 14,966]

Wish I spoke Portuguese, heard leading Scottish Premier league then followed soon after by what sounded like Lennon followed by laughter. 

 

[real boydie9 17,606]

Our work rate is unreal. It's a fucking treat to watch this Rangers team.

The speed this game is being played at is unreal. Obviously league is priority but I genuinely believe these types of games sharpen and improve our players making them perform at an even higher level domestically.

I think the reverse is true aswell. Every domestic team sharpening their speirs and playing against us like it's a cup final keeps us at our best. The same teams have laid down to celtic for years and look how they get on in Europe.

[Bears r us 30,791]

Never off side.

[Prso's headband 35,428]

Genuinely blown away with how we’re playing. I know we’ve been amazing in Europe but this is a champions league team. 
 

We’re winning this this year

[qwerty 3,730]

We're fitter than them, we're better than them

Its all about the Rangers

[Jb85 1,783]

Onside there 

[Jakes Pal 5,575]

NEVER offside, bloody conspiracy so it is.

[LegendofCoop 17,273]

Alfredo trying the meg  You know you're bossing it when....
