***** The Official Benfica v Rangers Europa League Round of 16 Match Thread *****

[J-Maestro 13,961]

Dessers with the flick on there, up against two very good CB's. People need to calm down.

[GA1972 10,314]

Never a foul 

[graeme_4 37,610]

Dessers works hard, but she’s offered nothing tonight. 

[graeme_4 37,610]

Ridvan has had a great game so far. 

[The Archer 1,414]

Diamonde is like a daddy long legs but he is quality

Now we know why he is pish.

[Rangers_no1 34,530]

Some mental takes in here tonight.

Souttar didn't header the ball

Benfica should have had a penalty for kicking Lawrence 

Silva been pish 

....

Well it wouldn't be with anyone else...

If he doesn't get in the squad, it could be with Easyjet

[STEPPS BOY 77,602]

Lawrence looks fucked but who is there to bring on.

[jamess 3,533]

This is Murder!

[Kents_Hook 1,701]

wtf is tav doing

[GA1972 10,314]

Tav again 

[AdzKyle 8,597]

Giving the ball back to them far too easily. Inviting them to attack again and again. 

[PromDeAnglais 6,765]

Wee Ridvan has been solid.

[IpswichGer 3,924]

We look a bit leggy. No surprise though. Benfica are relentless.

He's offered just about all he has to offer, to be fair. If he misses a few sitters and then scores a screamer then that's the full box of tricks.

[Rangers#1 5,544]

Need fresh legs

First two are mental enough, surely no one has said Silva has been pish? Honestly think he’s been our best player 

[LegendofCoop 18,120]

Hanging on a bit. Need fresh legs for Diomande and Dessers

[delparlane 6,001]

Fucking WAKE UP.

[Drumloyal 15,597]

How the fuck is there still half an hour to go?? 

[Jelavic18 695]

Hate to say it, we're causing all our own problems here.  Need to concentrate a d look for the opportunities to turn them over

Yilmaz is fantastic. Love the wee man. 

He’s just getting better and better.

We have no need to be looking for a first choice left back in the summer.
