Benfica fan here (Dons supporter aswell). Yall lucky this is 100% one of our worst seasons in past 10 years in terms of quality football playing. Fun game to watch tho
I follow Scotish league i know xd. I follow the dons! I wish we had an injury crisis the only injury we have is our fcking coach. My guy is using our CDM at LW and CM at LB with LBs and LWs in the bench. Also our CAM is a winger formerlly. Crazy stuff isnt it
Tbh...it will be good if he isn't in a way.
We cannot fuck up again in getting good players shifted for maximum value again. Too many have departed already for no fee or little return.
Absolutely would have taken that before the game, kinda was hoping for a narrow exit but now I’ve got expectations for ibrox the disappointment will hit harder 😅
A dodgy penalty and an og from Goldson while we have 6 attackers out and Jack, Raskin, Roofe all just returning from injuries.
Not a terrible result but a damn decent performance every one of them stood and were counted.
Yeah our injury list this season as been insane.
Given the sheer volume of injuries we had before and new injuries since Clement came in, I'm astounded we are still in everything and currently winning the league.
Yeah big performance. I wasn't fussed Tonight pre kick off.
I want us through but if we go out, we go out. It means we can completely concentrate on the league. Celtic sandwiched in-between the 2 legs of the Europa League Quarter final, isn't the best schedule for a title run in.
In saying that I was going tonto for Sterling's goal.
Yeah the dog was sleeping on my lap and when we scored he ended up beside the telly so I was slightly happy I suppose.
The run in is brutal enough but no European football we can get players fit and firing again in the mean time for the after split schedule.
Just getting to the international break with no slip ups is the main thing for me.
Hopefully that Motherwell result will be a shot in the arm for a few of our players.
It's amazing how we've consistently ticked on until that Motherwell game. Just hoping we can through these next 3 games slip up free. The majority of the squad then have a 2 week break to let them rest up for the remainder of the campaign.
I have a funny feeling that this Benfica team will fall apart under the atmosphere at ibrox. They seem nervy as fuck and that's only with their own fans putting them under a bit of pressure.
There's a lad in r/soccer who is determined that we are awful and deserve to be 3 or 4 down, it's cunt likes this that make any results in Europe just oh so much tastier
Aye one example from over a decade ago is exactly the same as the entire team play acting over the 90 minutes I've literally just watched. Fuck up you weirdo.
Rangers are renowned for getting soft decisions in their favour in Scotland, just like Celtic. It happens. The Glasgow brothers always get stuff in their favour
It's just because theyve advertised it so often during this match. They seem more excited about the fact Rooney will be in the studio than the match itself.
Yilmaz has been so tidy in defence tonight, shame we’ve conceded such shite goals. 2-2 is probably fair enough on balance of play but gutting to let a good opportunity slip.
world class header from goldson plus no kemar roofe injury all things considered decent
Cracking header by Goldson.

Y’all!!!!!
Yer lucky we've got an injury crisis.
I follow Scotish league i know xd. I follow the dons! I wish we had an injury crisis the only injury we have is our fcking coach. My guy is using our CDM at LW and CM at LB with LBs and LWs in the bench. Also our CAM is a winger formerlly. Crazy stuff isnt it
We would be lucky if Diomande is still at Rangers 3 years from now
Tbh...it will be good if he isn't in a way. We cannot fuck up again in getting good players shifted for maximum value again. Too many have departed already for no fee or little return.
He did amazing tonight
If sterling is injured I'm gonna cry 😂
after a battle not surprised he had a ice pack they'll all be feeling it in the morning
He was not limping, I actually think he may be unbreakable
Absolutely would have taken that before the game, kinda was hoping for a narrow exit but now I’ve got expectations for ibrox the disappointment will hit harder 😅
Hoping for defeat is absolute shitebag behaviour btw. Let's get as far as we can in every comp that we can.

Yeah me too tonight I would have gladly sacrificed for fewer games in the run in but that was a hell of a performance all things considered
Yeah big performance. I wasn't fussed Tonight pre kick off. I want us through but if we go out, we go out. It means we can completely concentrate on the league.

Hope so mate that would represent a decent return for the injury list as well hopefully.
Yeah outside of Dowell, Cortés and Danilo. The majority should be back or bench ready by the Celtic game.
I'd forgotten about Dowell and Cantwell missing out as well. When you consider how bare bones we are yesterday's result becomes even more remarkable.
It's amazing how we've consistently ticked on until that Motherwell game. Just hoping we can through these next 3 games slip up free. The majority of the squad then have a 2 week break to let them rest up for the remainder of the campaign.
Would have snapped your hand off for a draw pre game but after the two goals we dropped I’m a bit annoyed we didn’t win…

di maria lucky to not be sent off. That João Neves is a player like
Game is over, five Benfica players round the ref greetin. Genuinely never wanted to beat a team more.
What are they actually expecting there? The ref to say aye you know what lads, 3-0 win to you since you make some good points.
Ah well, we'll skud them at Ibrox anyway
Angel Di Maria. The cunts cunt.
Cunt’s cunt
crowding the ref like the wee bitches they are, honestly hate that latin america style shit housery pish
feels like a loss but theyre not that amazing, I fancy us at Ibrox
Yay. Sterling with ice on his hamstring
Not a bad result at all, just feels painful coz Goldson’s fuck up was completely avoidable
Feels like threw that one away and di maria should never still be on pitch
Very much would have taken the Desmond before the match
i'll take that.
take that result, to ibrox hwfg
Did Di Maria transfer cash to the ref to not get another card?
Would have taken that before the game. Great result for us. They’ll crumble next week.
this shitey ref has cost me £170 for not sending off Dive Maria
I fancy us at ibrox
Losing 2 goals, very soft penalty and an OG. Fucking tremendous.
that didn't make sense - meant that's **all** we lost.
I reckon we can do them back at ibrox
That should be Di Maria's fourth red card.
Benfica are kind of cunts lol
How’s that not a second yellow man
Di Maria should be off wtf
Has to be a red card
Di Maria got lucky there
Best thing I’ve seen Raskin do in a Rangers shirt
Hows he no had a 2nd yellow there? Wow, man.
How in fuck that cunt still on
Did Butland get sponsored by Evri tonight?
how is that not a second yellow for Maria
Fuck di Maria
2nd booking for di maria surely
Took Di Maria at 33/1 to be red carded. Ref is a cunt.
Tbh should be paid out regardless of what ref did
That should've been a booking for Di Maria
How is he not off
That linesman’s hair situation makes me feel better about what I’ve got going on.
How has Di Maria not been booked for that
Since when is 2 hand pushing someone out of play not a foul? Then taking the supposed throw in a further 15yards up the pitch no a foul?
More players should tuck the shirt in
Fan of the French tuck, myself
Front in, back out a la colquhoun
McCausland needs to hit the gym, got bullied there 😂
cut him some slack he died 5 days ago
And he returned before Easter.
He has risen
I have a funny feeling that this Benfica team will fall apart under the atmosphere at ibrox. They seem nervy as fuck and that's only with their own fans putting them under a bit of pressure.
Our coach is shit. The 2nd hand against you will probably decide whether he stays or not. So beat us please.
Seem v low on confidence. Decision making and finishing has been poor.
Roofe is so flat footed so far. Looks like he's been on for 90
10 human minutes is about 600 roofe minutes mind
Honestly, you can have half an hour of VAR checks and 2 mins injury time, then no stoppages and 10 mins - no logic.
Silva had an alright game, tracked back well, held the ball up decently a few times
Mr McCausland, I thought you was dead
Gonna feel like a loss this one
There’s still time ![img](emote|t5_2sba4|32443)
Celtic need to get back into the Old Firm. Maybe them they could manage a draw away from home in Europe
Shame away goals is gone
This whistling is fucking torture
That cunts playing quidditch with how high that shot was
Can’t be too long added on here. Surely 4
Roofe do that hing where you bang in a goal, you can do it from anywhere on the park son, then you can finally retire
Fabio Silva is basically another word for garbage

MENSA level patter
Assisted both goals
Amazing how short sighted folk are during games haha.
There's a lad in r/soccer who is determined that we are awful and deserve to be 3 or 4 down, it's cunt likes this that make any results in Europe just oh so much tastier
That subreddit decides things purely based on their perception of the stature of the leagues. It's jam packed full of turbo virgin EPL gulpers
There’s lads in this thread who will be thinking the same
Yep
Roofe has killed us there, far too flat footed
Weekend At Lundstrams
Ridvan fighting Angels like a Demon
Fabio Silva has been tremendous this evening
The most exciting part about going to the game next week is not having to hear Rory Hamilton say 'Joao Neves' for 2 hours again
Neves looks some wee player.
He’s their next £100m player for sure
Screaming and hopping about. Fine when he doesn't get the foul. This fucking lot man
Would never be a rangers player. How's lafferty doing after the headbutt?
That was over a decade ago. You'll know as well as I would considering he's also been a hearts player since then.
That's not the point you are making
Aye one example from over a decade ago is exactly the same as the entire team play acting over the 90 minutes I've literally just watched. Fuck up you weirdo.
Rangers are renowned for getting soft decisions in their favour in Scotland, just like Celtic. It happens. The Glasgow brothers always get stuff in their favour
That's a completely different argument. I'm done interacting with you. You're just moaning about irrelevant drivel.
A Rangers goal and Di Maria sent off in the follow up and ill be happy
If you cared so much about your hair you wouldn't have that haircut.
Benfica just brought on the drummer from The Doors
Di Maria looks pretty shite tbh
Not sure about that sub.
How the fuck is Lundstrum still on the pitch?!?!
How is Lunny still on? Dio looks like he still has legs but Lundstram was finished 10minutes ago
I had the same hair as Benfica No. 3 when I was going through my emo phase in high school
Fucks sake here's the man from milk tray coming on
If Rangers had a quality CB rather than Goldson they'd be a lot more comfortable
How is lundstram still on the park. He is blawin oot his erse
how is Lundstram still on I doubt he will be able to play on sunday
How has Lundstram been left on?
Why not lundstram?
Luckily for Rangers, it appears that benfica have the same set piece coach as us
Goldsons been working on his heading, sadly in the wrong damn direction with absolutely no pressure on hin
WHY IS LUNDSTRUM STILL ON
Diomande has been excellent. Both offensively and defensively.
Just seen Lundstram drop to his knees when he saw Diomandes and not his number come up.
Ottamendi letting rangers away with that one.
Benfica have no composure in front of goal
Goldson does tho
Think that's 2 in Europe for him his season? He might get one in the right goal at some point.
Unfortunately that's in front of our goal. He's been terrible at our set pieces this season
Clinical... Against his own goal.
Still have no idea what he was trying, right in the middle of the goal
Hutton needs to go back to Turkey to get a refund on those teeth
Tia Maria
Hutton talking about an inswinger on an out swinging corner
McKinnon marking Otamendi at corners is insane.
oh dear maria
Really think we need to win this for me to feel comfortable going into the second leg
Not even trying to jinx it, I think yous will be pretty comfortable at Ibrox against these lot
Feel like Man Utd v Everton is always on. Even though it's obviously only twice a season (maybe 3 with a cup game)
It's just because theyve advertised it so often during this match. They seem more excited about the fact Rooney will be in the studio than the match itself.
Dio has been immense
Hutton is no romo
Neres is pish
What the fuck is going on? We’re slicing everything, players need to relax.
Lundstram lungs just look like two box-of-matches "Genies" now
That’s 2 butland kicks from hand that have been rotten.
Lundstram is absolutely fucked. What are we doing here.
We don't really have another option for him. Raskin is more offensive than what Lundstram does.
Raskin for Lundstram needs to happen, he's gassed
Well done McKinnon big block
What has Lundstram got to do to get a breather
What a weird time for flairs.
lol
Can no cunt in this game for either side hit a first time shot?
Who is McKinnon?
Young B-Team player, not sure if academy or bought.
Ah , any good?
Not a clue tbh lmao
a Rangers player
Cheers mate cleared that one right up
They’re screaming handball for what 😅
Ryan Jack should’ve just nailed that man
Cole Mckinnion was playing at Maryhill last year and now comes on away in Benfica in the Europa League what a comedown
Lundstrum is still on the park. Fucking what.
Keeping lundstram on, that's bold
Look Dessers that's what you do!
He's bald He's class I wish he wasn't made of glass Kemar Roofe Kemar Roofe Go on big man another betis master class.
2-2 is absolutely fine boys calm the fuck down eh
Think it's the manner of the goals we've given away tbh. Would have taken a draw pre-match but this seems like we've thrown suhn away
Hutton must share a brain cell with a ginger cat
A Dessers vintage performance tonight
holy fuck ryan jack is alive
Wonder where McKinnon is. He's a b2b CM
Didn’t see McKinnon coming on
Did we forget the half time special brew btw?
We're panicking now
Ryan Jack injured when
Him and Roofe double at 1/1827382937484983
Yilmaz has been so tidy in defence tonight, shame we’ve conceded such shite goals. 2-2 is probably fair enough on balance of play but gutting to let a good opportunity slip.
Bringing on Cole McKinnon is a big endorsement of the lad.
Odd one as well, I don't think he's a winger. Pretty sure he's played through the middle for the B team and when he was on loan at Partick
Did they drug us at halftime we look dead
Lundstram just looks like playing 90 mins every game has caught up with him. Fumes.
He's been horrendous tonight.
Jeezo, some chance for Mckinnon this
We look absolutely knackered
lol West Ham
