  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ricardo Horta made 428 appearances and scored 118 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 60' Matheus is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Rangers FC tonight.
  • 63' Rangers FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Borna Barisic is hanging Leon Balogun on the field on 63 minute.
  • 68' Kemar Roofe, a Jamaica , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 73' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
