Their fans are easily the worst I've seen in European competition.

There were some of them smiling when Nkunku blazed the open goal wide. Any normal fans would be fuming at that.

Captain saying we weren’t organised for corner.

Not been organised all season. McGregor in the sticks causes us major issues on corners.

That Leipzig team will not handle the atmosphere or the occasion at Ibrox next week. They are show ponies. 

I fucking hope so. 👍

It’s a critical opinion and it’s my one issue from an otherwise solid performance all round.

Just noticed two of there players very close in front of Allan (maybe offside) and that would also have made it even more difficult.

Anyway I believe we can still do it but will have to be careful not to lose a goal. Ibrox will certainly be rocking next Thursday.

[Shuggy 1,308]

Leipzig will be delighted because they are undefeated away in the Europa League.

Time to prove them wrong Rangers.

Down to the bare bones and running on empty. Aribo through the middle was the shout and I was amazed that's not what we started with. 

Ow to have Morelos fit. 

Squad depth and the bench is sorely lacking.. 

I am hopefully for the second leg and we are still very much in this. 

Done all we could to set it up. 

 

[Big Al 55 9,528]

Braga far more dangerous that they were. Hopeful for next week.

Nope it wasnt Sands, it was Arfield and Lundstram who both ducked out of goal.

Lundstrom did the fkn same away to malmo 😪

[Clemdog 39,389]

Not an awful result.

Massively infuriating to concede the way we did. 

Lets hope Ibrox and the other players cheer us on. 

[Malkytfp1 19,702]

Worth remembering we played with ten men tonight until we took Wright off.

[EMRFC 4,914]

Shown tonight we will be able to hurt them at home, win Sunday and we bounce into Thursday

Aye that two goals in ten run he was on was world beating.

What you know about football you could write on the end of a pube so with the greatest respect - fuck off.

Jon I’m blaming you just because.

Felt the second half was much better for us, yet that is when we lost the goal. Next week we have to produce a result similar to Porto in recent times.

Actually think we looked comfortable and were dealing with them well mate. Every time Dortmund and Leverkusen came forward my heart was in my mouth and that's what I expected tonight but tonight i felt we starved them a bit.

It's a strange one mate, Dortmund definitely looked more dangerous, but Leipzig had 3 better chances.

Although tbf first one Borna got caught out with the flight of the ball, Lundstram dived in for the open goal miss and Bassey was caught out for the free header(McGregor should have been out)

Think they will be more dangerous on the counter attack next week, we need to be very good defensively.

Hoping their game on Monday night impacts them.

Always a chance of a decent strike beating us when you sit so deep but we are still in the game although we will have to improve to get the result we want.

It was from a set piece so nothing to do with sitting deep. As for that I don't think we actually sat overly deep tonight. We were organised and rigid but we were hardly pressed back in our own third.

As for improving we will mate. I expected tonight to go the way it did. I actually thought Leipzig would have offered more going forward. Next week we will have Lundstram in midfield in a 4-3-3 snapping in to challenges, as will the rest of his team mates. With 50,000 behind the team we'll be all over them.

Not true.

[Jelavic191 4,804]

Probably a bit unfortunate that goal hasn’t been looked at by VAR. Theres a boy right in front of McGregor.

Still in it which is the main thing

No very often we can get 90 mins out him now though 

But 10mins to go?  Better to keep him on surely

You said it was a great volley , it wasnt it was a lucky shot that 9 times out of ten would have hit a player , I never said anything about McGregor.

I'm sure he hit one in the first half that hit Tav but I'm with you fuck giving him credit lucky bastard 

[bluenoz 32,534]

There is no guarantee Roofe & Ramsey will be fit especially with their track record.
