Kick-off: Rangers vs Tottenham
We are underway at Ibrox Stadium.
The Battle of Britain is finally upon us.
Tottenham get the first-half started.
Players waiting in the tunnel
It is an electric atmosphere in Ibrox Stadium this evening.
Both captains lead their sides out to this cauldron of noise.
Let’s hope the football lives up to the hype.
There is a huge banner in the home end saying ‘Make Rangers Great Again’ but we cannot see Donald Trump orchestrating anything there.
View from SunSport’s Tom Barclay at Ibrox
Spurs have gone strong with their line-up – though £65million striker Dominic Solanke and player-of-the-season Dejan Kulusevski have been left on the bench.
Instead, Son Heung-min starts at centre-forward, with Timo Werner wide left and James Maddison at No10.
Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma, who are both suspended for Sunday’s trip to Southampton, complete the midfield.
Archie Gray, 18 and a boyhood Celtic fan, starts at centre-back due to Ben Davies, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven all being out injured.
‘Battle of Britain’ tie awaits
It is not often in European football that we get to see British teams lock horns.
This evening Rangers welcome Tottenham to Ibrox Stadium.
With both teams putting strong sides out, the atmosphere in Glasgow, this could be an entertaining match-up.
Spurs arrive here with an ex-Celtic manager and one of their old goalkeepers, they are sure to get some welcome.
FT: Viktoria Plzen 1-2 Man Utd
It is important to win games when you are not playing well, but it is also just as critical to not get carried away by those wins.
The Red Devils have taken the points here today but there is so much to do get this side back to where they need to be.
This would go down in the category of ‘papering over the cracks’ victory.
FT: Viktoria Plzen 1-2 Man Utd
The referee brings the game to a close.
Man Utd take all three points in Czechia.
It has been a long time coming, an away win in Europe.
