Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Rangers FC gets underway.
  • 5' 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 Ryan Jack suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Congo DR international Bokadi Bope has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 15' Royal Standard de Liège is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 18' Royal Standard de Liege receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 18.
  • 19' Noe Dussenne is having his name booked by the referee on 19.
  • 19' What composure from James Tavernier! The England international strokes it home. 0-1.
  • 24' The travelling Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 26' The referee shows Rangers FC player a Yellow card on 26.
  • 31' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 36' It’s high time Philippe Montanier made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 41' Over 41 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 43' Rangers FC ring the changes. Borna Barisic has done his job and it is now time for Calvin Bassey to step up.
  • 45' That is a Yellow card for Rangers FC. Allan McGregor will be fuming at that decision.
  • 46' The whistle greets Jackson Muleka as he departs to be replaced by Obbi Oulare.
  • 51' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 56' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 61' Royal Standard de Liège currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 64' The Royal Standard de Liege manager makes a substitution. Collins Fai departs to be replaced by Mehdi Carcela.
  • 66' Poor challenge from Calvin Bassey. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 67' Joe Aribo is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ianis Hagi at the 67 minute mark.
  • 72' The Royal Standard de Liege manager makes a substitution. Selim Amallah departs to be replaced by Duje Cop.
  • 74' Another substitution for Rangers FC to replace Alfredo Morelos by Kemar Roofe on 74 minute.
  • 78' Laurent Jans is replacing Noe Dussenne for the Royal Standard de Liege side.
  • 82' The referee calls foul for Bokadi Bope. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 87' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 90' The referee has no hesitation. Kemar Roofe is booked for Rangers FC — Yellow card on 90.
  • Royal Standard de Liège will have plenty to reflect on. Rangers FC were simply the better side today.
