A display like the old day's this team doesn't throw in the towel, well done Rangers

I’m sure I read/heard somewhere that Antwerp haven’t been beaten at home by any team for 14 months?

I wonder if we played such high lines at free kicks because of VAR. Didn't work certainly.

Agree, i thought it wrong to adopt a high line, sitting deeper allows defenders to attack a head ball on the front foot.

We've been doing the high line for a while now and it usually works pretty well as it takes something special t score a header from the edge of the box.  Unfortunately, that happened last night along with poor marking.

 

To be honest though, I think their first goal was very close to offside, and the chance late on from a similar free kick definitely was.  The officials, including the VAR guys, were atrocious.

Said _DON_ over at FF ...

 

Rangers could have made all the excuses in the world tonight. We haven't been anywhere near the levels we were at the start of the season. We lost two of our best players in the first half. We couldn't start Jack and Kent due to the risk of injury. Arfield was clearly nowhere near fit. But you know what? We didn't make any excuses, we just went out and did the job.

It was a match strewn with errors, by both defences and the officials. 

 

Could've been 9-8.

i do hope that later one would have been chalked off. I think it would.

10 mins highlights of the game ... including the handball in the 3rd min. Wonder what the German VAR-chap was thinking.

[the gunslinger 3,366]

stonewall pen in the first few mins as you say. Crazy Germans
