This daka looks some player. Wonder if they would swap him for Divock.

Rangers through after a 3-2 win, 7-4 on agg against Dortmund

2-2 FT? Though it should have been 3-2 but for a goal that was bizarrely disallowed.

Either way absolutely sensational result that for Rangers. Maybe the best win over a two legged tie from the Old Firm since Celtic beat Barcelona in 2004 (that was immense).

Delighted for Rangers, but very disappointing for Celtic in Norway. That said they came up against Bodo/Glimt who not that long ago humiliated Mourinho in the Arctic Circle! Sensational by them! Celtic will still win the league though. Big fan of what big Andre has done there so far after the mess Lennon left them in.

sh*t yeah, was making a brew at the time, honestly thought they scored another, was a good game though.

Ryan Kent starting to turn into a player, he was very good for Rangers. Dortmund were frightened of his pace every time he got the ball.

Excuse you what?

You one of these part time supporters that leaves 5 mins from the end

Brew my arse you were on the bus.

Pub first soft arse

I wouldn't leave 5 mins from the end, I'd F**k off the pub at half time

Spartak Moscow is about to be expelled from the Europa League.

Not sure how I feel about that, to be honest. They are punishing the club, a private company, its players and supporters for a decision taken by their government... It seems a bit weird.

Couldn't they have played it on a neutral ground?

Right decision IMO. Nations, teams etc have no interest in having anything to do with anything related to the country, can't force teams to play against those from Russia if they don't want to, the Russian teams suffer because of the actions of Putin, not because of UEFA or whatever sporting body is relavent.

That's a fair comment.
At the end of the day, I'm not complaining, it helps with the UEFA coefficient of my country. 
(to be clear, I'm not really serious, just trying to make light of the dire situation)

Leipzig- Barcelona- West Ham - Brag to qualify for semis.

Just remembered that it's the 1st leg Q-finals tonight, I guess this with a little saddness, that this competition doesn't really matter unless you're in it.

It's with great sadness and awkwardness to see Barcelona mentioned in this competition. I'd to make sure I'm reading it correctly. Everything can happen in football - surely.

Quarter final second legs, second half's looking tasty.

Not many people could of saw Barca being down by 2 at the Nou Camp given their form.

eintracht frankfurt plays this very good so far. could have been 3:0

Must admit,  I thought the idea of getting rid of away goals was a mistake but so far this season it has been excellent and the football so far in the European competitions has been hugely entertaining so
