  • 25' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 30' 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 Liam Millar suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 40' Rangers FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

  • 65' Brilliant from the ! Alfredo Morelos makes it 1-0 with a superb finish on 65.
  • 66' Alex Bruce picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
