Rangers

Legends Wim Kieft and Ernie Brandts speak about fears over the Dutch side's defence ahead of the return in Eindhoven after a 2-2 draw at Ibrox.

They need to defend from the front. He escaped this time which I was very surprised at because it seemed very obvious it was a handball and a penalty on the television replays. We hardly had any break at all after the World Cup. Hopefully, PSV don't make the same mistake this week. We had pretty much played continuously all the way through. And Kieft’s former team-mate and fellow legend Brandts has warned the current team not to make the same mistake as he did by underestimating Rangers after the first leg...44 years after one of the Ibrox club's finest European away wins. We were all very confident we would beat Rangers especially after Harry Lubse had scored such an early goal for us. They had also never lost a European game in their Philips Stadion. However Kieft - who won Euro 88 with the Netherlands and is a former European Golden Boot winner - is far from convinced at his former club's rearguard. "What I would say though is that I am not worried about PSV goalkeeper Walter Benitez, even though he made that terrible mistake at Ibrox. The Eindhoven side were the UEFA Cup holders and featured six Dutch players who had just reached the World Cup Final a few months previously. I know Teze was recently called up by our national coach Louis van Gaal, but he is a wild player, sloppy in possession and unreliable as a defender.

Hibs laid siege to the Rangers goal thereafter and eventually got their equaliser in stoppage time when Campbell – who scored a late winner in the opening-day win at St Johnstone – volleyed in from the edge of the box. Rangers threatened in the 35th minute when Ryan Porteous was loose with a pass, allowing Ryan Kent to break forward with menace but the attacker curled his effort over the bar from the edge of the box. After a fairly even opening to the game, Rangers had the first notable chance in the 22nd minute but Antonio Colak was unable to keep his header down after being picked out on the edge of the six-yard box by a cross from Borna Barisic.

The Saturday lunchtime Premiership encounter was full of drama with two sendings off and a penalty with Johnson calling for VAR to be implemented ASAP.

I don't think Lundstrum's is a red card, I think it's a yellow. I think the [Morelos] elbow is probably a red. This is why we need it in at this level and we hope so very quickly." I think we should have had a penalty. I don't think their one was a penalty. And I think that led to the incidents.

The Gers also finished with nine men after John Lundstram and Alfredo Morelos were both sent off in the second half. Josh Campbell scored the equaliser in the ...

RANGERS are sweating over the fitness of midfielder Tom Lawrence ahead of their Champions League showdown with PSV Eindhoven next week.

We have to see if he is fit for Wednesday." Lawrence was replaced just minutes after he rounded off a superb Rangers move and headed home a Borna Barisic cross to restore the visitors' advantage. But boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst faces an anxious wait to discover if Lawrence will be fit for the second fixture at the Philips Stadion on Wednesday night.

Football Insider has been told by Alex McLeish that Rangers do not need fixture amendments to prepare for their second leg Champions League playoff.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, PSV are a really good side, very experienced European side and that is a high level, they’re playing at their best level.“ “Rangers have a strong squad and should be able to go into the European tie and play at their very best level. Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Gers boss said the Ibrox side have a “very strong squad” and don’t need to reschedule their game at the weekend.

The former Cy Young winner threw seven innings and shutout baseball for the first time since joining the Rangers organization.

Josh Campbell scored a stunning stoppage-time equaliser as Hibernian denied nine-man Rangers victory in a dramatic cinch Premiership showdown at Easter ...

Rangers were awarded a penalty in the last minute of the first half when Colak fell in the box after being needlessly tugged by Bushiri while Hibs keeper David Marshall was in the process of clearing a passback. Rangers threatened in the 35th minute when Ryan Porteous was loose with a pass, allowing Ryan Kent to break forward with menace but the attacker curled his effort over the bar from the edge of the box. After a fairly even opening to the game, Rangers had the first notable chance in the 22nd minute but Antonio Colak was unable to keep his header down after being picked out on the edge of the six-yard box by a cross from Borna Barisic.

And what about the Jake Doyle-Hayes challenge? Rangers boss van Bronckhorst cited that as he rued the "harsh" decision to give Lundstram his marching orders.

Boyd: "I think that one from Doyle-Hayes is actually worse than the Lundstram one. It's a red card all day long and that's one that Willie Collum did get right." There's no debate that it's a penalty, the next debate is whether if it's a red card or not. Stewart: "Alfredo Morelos' sending off - that is the one Willie Collum has got right. It's a bit of a blur, even Porto maybe playing the ball back to Marsh isn't the best possible pass but I'm just a bit confused as to what Rocky was doing there. The IFAB man is here to clear it all up." But if you give one you have to give the other. I think if you just take that incident on it's own it's a penalty. The Irishman received a caution for hauling down Lundstram in the first period. Referee Willie Collum pointed to the spot after Rocky Bushiri looked to have put his hands on Antonio Colak inside the box. And the Dutchman had an ally in Hibs manager Lee Johnson, as he reckoned the Collum got that one wrong. And the Ibrox side couldn't hold on as Josh Campbell netted a last-gasp leveller.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst was already a man in favour of VAR, but in the wake of two debatable red cards and a couple of contentious penalty decisions, ...

“He was caught in a bad tackle and twisted his ankle a little bit so we took him off,” confirmed Van Bronckhorst. “It was a game where a lot of things happened,” added Van Bronckhorst. “I saw that the ball went back to the goalie.

A player, substitute or substituted player who commits any of the following offences is sent off: denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring ...

It's hard to agree when watching the replays that can be seen in the video above. From this, it's clear that Lundstram's challenge doesn't fall into the violent conduct category. Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

As a result of training with the first team and making several senior matchday squads, Devine has only made 3 appearances for the Gers’ B team this term.

The SFA rule book looks set to give the players a chance to be back for the Celtic Park showdown.

[Rangers](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/rangers-fc) midfielder warranted a red card. However, it would appear that both flashpoints will earn Lundstram and Morelos a two-game ban, with the SFA rule book stating the ban will carry into any league or cup competition. The Scottish FA state that serious foul play and violent conduct incidents would earn the offender a two-game ban, and the category of the red card will only be confirmed once whistler Collum submits his report on the game.

The Scotland and Liverpool legend reckons the fact the Ibrox side are away from home second will be mean a change of mindset is required against PSV.

“Overall, there will be an almighty effort required to be in the draw with the likes of Real Madrid, Liverpool and PSG at the end of the week. It would be great to see Rangers emerge triumphant to join Celtic in the main tournament.” Jon will need to be ready, and I’m sure he will start in midweek. I don’t see anything in his performances to suggest he will be left out. “Indeed, both of PSV’s goals came from corners, and it’s no wonder Giovanni was angry with the level of defending. “The Croatian striker is looking the part, and he has a good percentage of chances converted from openings created. His main frustration would have been that they got ahead in the tie, but then conceded an equaliser from a set-piece. This is different, and now there will need to be a change of mindset. “Rangers will definitely need to be patient. Does he go on the front foot, to try to get the first goal? Or does he sit back, let PSV have the ball, and try to hit on the counter? [Giovanni van Bronckhorst](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/gio-van-bronckhorst) led the Ibrox club to the Europa League Final and took some big scalps along the way, including German giants Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig in the semi-final.

Josh Campbell's 93rd minute goal came after John Lundstram and Alfredo Morelos were shown red cards in the second-half at Easter Road. Robert McElroy reports.

Gers walked away with a 2-2 draw from the first-leg but have a tough job on their hands now.

“Indeed, both of PSV’s goals came from corners, and it’s no wonder Giovanni was angry with the level of defending. “On the evidence of last Tuesday night’s game at Ibrox, I’d have to make PSV Eindhoven clear favourites to go through to the Champions League group stage. “The Croatian striker is looking the part, and he has a good percentage of chances converted from openings created. The game in the Netherlands is likely to be a difficult one and that's why [Dalglish](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/all-about/kenny-dalglish) reckons the manager may have to make some tweaks and alterations to his squad to cope with the type of match that's anticipated. Or does he sit back, let PSV have the ball, and try to hit on the counter? Does he go on the front foot, to try to get the first goal?

En route to the Philips Stadion from Eindhoven airport, there is virtually no possibility of losing your way.

The Gers boss will be aiming to maintain his club’s historical pre-eminence in the Philips Stadion. Or with Rangers in action at Easter Road yesterday against Hibernian, does the competitive routine keep a squad fresh and focused, not allowing minds to collectively drift? It’s unclear if Van de Kerkhof witnessed the whole game at Ibrox, but the common consensus was that the first leg was a genuine, toe-to-toe battle of equals. He has also proven to be a deadly finisher at this level so it would be wrong to drop him in view of his scoring contribution in the first leg. It is also precious in the context of retaining key men as well. And with the Glasgow giants linked with a swoop for former player Billy Gilmour from Chelsea, for instance, much is at stake against PSV.

Ex-Rangers and Hibs striker Kenny Miller described Willie Collum's decision to send off John Lundstram in the match between his former clubs as ...

But it is with the same thought, ‘I’m going to take him down, stop the counter and I will take a yellow’. "You can see the reaction from him, he was flabbergasted. Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst: “I have said it before. That is it, a yellow card. That is it. “He does it because he is not running the risk of getting a red card.
