Standard Liege continuing to make Rangers look lethargic and second best. Steven Davis is what, 36? Yet he’s the only Gers player looking as sharp as usual.

Rangers suddenly spring to life - cracking move and cracking goal from Arfield.

Rangers only need a point to qualify for the knockouts anyway.

I wonder if Gerrard will take the chance to rest a few next week, or play a strong side to try and win the group.

Nice applause between the Arsenal fans and players there. I think I'll be quite emotional when I finally get back to Anfield.

At least with the masks they won't be able to tell which people are booing if they lose!

Just scored both ends😲. I’ve watched Rangers regularly for the past two years, and you’re right, by their own standards they’ve been under the weather tonight. My assessment of their players though is based on watching a fair bit of them.

Missed this earlier. You might be right. Tavernier could possibly do a job at a lower Premier league club. Barasic & Kamara will play for Croatia & Finland respectively in the Euros this summer so will be interesting to see how they do.

I think Morelos could fit in somewhere like Lille who were in for him this summer & see how he doe sin a tougher league. Think guys like Kent & Aribo could do the job in a lower Premier team as well in a year or 2 if the continue to improve. Be interesting to see how young Hagi develops as well.

yeah the results in Europe really stand out, it’s always hard to tell otherwise with Scottish football.   But he’s done an amazing job in Europe last couple years.

I wonder how long till he decides it’s time to move up, and where would he go, straight to the prem? Such is his results in europe, maybe doesn’t make that much sense to go into the Championship. But then, it’ll partly decide on what teams are looking. It’s so much about timing.  Cos it’s not like he’d necessarily be at a prem team in Europe anyway.

Anyway, good for Gerrard.

Yeah, Tavernier, he has had a few prolific seasons - think he's a goal or two away from 50 for Rangers.

Edit - according to Wiki he has 60 in 260 games for them.

Who do the CL dropouts play? A team that finishes 2nd in their EL group?

Of the 8 there are 4 that are seeded that then can only play a runner up and then the 4 that are non-seeded can play a group winner.

List of Europa league group outcomes for today's games:

Group A:
Roma have qualified as group winners.
Young Boys need only avoid defeat at home to CFR Cluj to join the Italians in the knockout stages. If Cluj win they will finish second.

Group B:
Arsenal are through as group winners.
Rapid Vienna host Molde in a battle for second place. To qualify ahead of their visitors Rapid must either win 1-0 or by a margin of two or more goals.

Group C:
Slavia Prague and Bayer Leverkusen have both qualified and will face off in Germany in a battle for top spot. Prague top the group with a win or a draw whilst Leverkusen must win to claim top spot.

Group D:

Rangers are through and are guaranteed top spot in the group if they win away to Lech Poznan.
To beat them to top spot Benfica, who have also qualified, need to better Rangers' result when they play away to Standard Liege.

Group E:
Granada and PSV Eindhoven have both qualified with the former holding a one point lead at the top of Group E. If Granada beat PAOK in Greece they will top the group. PSV need to win against Omonoia and hope Granada drop points.

Group F:
Napoli need only avoid defeat at home to Real Sociedad to guarantee themselves passage to the last 32. A win guarantees they top the group.
The Italians will also claim top spot if AZ Alkmaar fail to win away to eliminated Rijeka. Sociedad need to match AZ's result to qualify.

Group G:
Leicester City and Braga have qualified for the knockout stages.
A win at home against AEK Athens guarantees top spot for Leicester. They will also secure themselves seeding for the round of 32 if they match Braga's result at home to Zorya Luhansk.

Group H:
Lille, who along with AC Milan have qualified from Group H, guarantee themselves top spot with a win away to Celtic or if Milan fail to win away to Sparta Prague.

Group I:
Villarreal have qualified as group winners, so the fact their match against Qarabagh has been postponed won't lead to any suspense.
Maccabi Tel-Aviv will join them in the knockout stages with a win or a draw against Sivasspor, who must win in Israel to qualify.

Group J:
Antwerp and Tottenham Hotspur have qualified. The Belgian side travel to London knowing a draw or better will guarantee them top spot whilst Spurs must win.

Group K:
Dinamo Zagreb have qualified as group winners.
Wolfsberg and Feyenoord play what is a de facto playoff for second place in Austria with the hosts needing just a point to finish second. Feyenoord must win or they join CSKA Moscow among the eliminated teams.

Group L:
Hoffenheim have won the group with Red Star assured of second place behind them.

Cluj just got screwed big time.  Penalty call and red card against their GK for punching a Young Boys player when going for the ball but he didn't actually hit him.

Edit: And now it's out of control with 2 more red cards.

An intense game petered out in the end after the equalizer. Both are through.
