Antwerp v Rangers

Had a strong bench and options to change style a bit
Two injuries will put strain on squad
Luckily not many games to go

---------------------------------

We'll have Morelos for half of the games - until he gets banned again.

And we've Itten and Defoe too.

Tav is abit more of a worry though - big Balogun did well when he came on IMHO

The second is a pen because it's going on target and in imo, the second yellow is the debatable element.

---------------------------------

It didn't look like Kent saw the handball - he turned away raging about missing
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's still raging about it while the ref is sending the guy off and giving a penalty, he's not even noticed we've got a pen

What's everyone's thoughts on VAR?

Unsure myself.

We perhaps should have got a penalty - 1st handball bu would have been soft.

I thought Antwerp's pen was ridiculous - yes there was 'conatct' but the theatrical dive was comical.

We got a deserved pen we wouldn't otherwise have got - Morelos

Our second pen was unlucky on the Antwerp defender for me, not much he could have done about it and i'm really unsure why he was booked.

Thoughts?

What nationality were your refs last night as (apart from being utter dung anyway) they didn't really seem to know how to use VAR.

Was like watching the English trying to use it 😂

Bulgarian I think

German var I think they said though

Probably why he picked up a few referring errors and deferred most of the decisions to him given most weren't "clear and obvious" according to the rules.

That ref was something else last night 😂
