    I don’t say this lightly, but I think that red card for Lewis-Skelly is the worst decision I’ve ever witnessed at a football stadium. I’m completely baffled how that has been cleared by VAR. It’s the classic ‘good’ yellow card you take to cynically stop a counter.

    Sparta Prague fans racially abused Monaco's Aurelien Tchouameni so faced a stadium closure tonight vs Rangers. The only exception is that 10,000 local kids under 14 years are in but Glen Kamara, racially abused by Slavia’s Ondrej Kudela, is now being booed with every touch.

    Vascular dementia means that sometimes a visit ends with you leaving demoralised as you feel you’re losing your granda in front of your eyes. Then he watches Rangers win 3-0, recites the Iron Curtain team from the 1940’s & he’s brimming with life. Football is an amazing drug 💙

    Think my granda enjoyed Ibrox tonight. I’m told he was putting out his hand for high fives as people walked up the stairs at the end of the game.

    Gerrard on the atmosphere tonight: “One of the reasons I took this job was because of the support. I could see the hurt & I wanted to help. It’s moments like tonight that make it all worthwhile. I’m glad I signed up. I was so proud to be the manager of this club out there.”

    Peter Bosz’s PSV have lost once all season - to Arsenal. He felt they had played fairly well at the Emirates, yet they’d lost 4-0. He was confused so he studied what makes Mikel Arteta’s team different. It has fuelled their flawless Eredivisie start. theathletic.com/5132638/2023/1…

    That's 16 Europa League qualifiers navigated by Rangers under Steven Gerrard. They haven't been behind for one minute. Red Star Belgrade are the only other team to have come from the 1st round to the group stage, but Rangers have now done it twice in a row. Some mental strength.

    Been a difficult time of it as my granda was diagnosed with vascular dementia earlier this year. But this is why football is more important than ever for him. Having that community and those sensations do his brain so much good.
    My dad who is going to be 90 in a couple of days just realising Rangers have made it to the semi finals of the Europa League! Here's hoping he gets to see his team win the final!

    Referees don’t help themselves. When A Brighton player kicked the ball away after over-running it, I thought it was common sense not giving a yellow for it. But he’s just sent someone Rice off for nudging the ball a yard away, while taking a full force swipe from Veltman.

    Happen to see Jermain Defoe’s instagram yesterday? You’ll have noticed him sharing tips on striker movement and how to trick defenders. This is only 45 seconds but I sat down with him for over an hour as he gave a masterclass in movement & finishing. theathletic.com/1820555/2020/0…

    Sources tell me that 84% of Rangers fans have watched this in full despite not understanding a word of it.

    Strong message from Connor Goldson. Good to see players speaking out on these issues in their own words.
