Events
Match Events

- 1' Rangers FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Nedim Bajrami on 1.

- 11' The referee shows Rangers FC player a card on 11.

- 26' Colin Rosler has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 31' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Pontus Jansson suffering a number of foals already.
