PSV vs. Rangers live score, updates, highlights & lineups from ... (Sporting News)

Rangers and PSV are battling for a place in the Champions League group stages and head into the playoff second leg level following a 2-2 draw at Ibrox.

can they end a decade-long wait for a return to the Champions League? Brilliant footwork on the edge of the left side of the box sees him find an inch of space and he curls one that looks destined for the top right corner but it strikes the woodwork. 33rd min: PSV get their first corner of the match but McLaughlin punches clear. The forward must have suffered an injury late on in the first half for Ruud van Nistelrooy to make that change. 79th min: The frustration from the PSV fans is loud and clear as their team concede possession several times in the middle of the pitch. Will we see Rangers shut up shop now or will they go for a second to kill the game? 68th min: Go for the second by the looks of it! Rangers are in no rush though and are a little over 10 minutes from the Champions League group stages. Morelos is a fan favourite, not least for the way he plays, but also for the important goals he's scored over the years. Marco van Ginkel is subbed on for Max for the home side. Morelos hasn't started a match this season and didn't help his cause when he came off the bench at the weekend only to be red-carded 13 minutes later. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's desire to have his team pressing high up the pitch paid off when Malik Tillman robbed defender Andre Ramalho of the ball in the box after goalkeeper Walter Benitez had played him a difficult pass.

Colak sinks PSV Eindhoven to put Rangers in Champions League (The Guardian)

A second-half goal from Antonio Colak a 1-0 win – and 3-2 aggregate victory –over PSV Eindhoven in their Champions League qualifier.

“You want to find opportunities to press them, and we found them,” said Van Bronckhorst. A pressurised Armando Obispo at full-back passed to a nervy Walter Benítez, the goalkeeper who had dropped a clanger in the first leg. When Tom Lawrence rattling the angle of post and crossbar in the 57th minute, it signalled Rangers a foothold. “We used it to be ready,” said Rangers’ manager afterwards of that warm welcome. PSV fans had swarmed all over Rangers’ team bus, a delayed start requested after scenes Van Bronckhorst said were “the worst I’ve seen as a player or manager”. PSV had been given the weekend off by the Dutch football association, such levity not given Rangers by the SFA.

A calamity in the penalty area cost PSV a place in the Champions League group stages and a €20 million payday as they went down 1-0 at home to Glasgow ...

The DutchNews.nl team would like to thank all the generous readers who have made a donation in recent weeks. [Ruud van Nistelrooy said](https://nos.nl/artikel/2441947-van-nistelrooy-na-mislopen-champions-league-begin-bij-jezelf-praat-over-jezelf) his team failed to produce the quality of football needed to justify a place in Europe’s top club competition. Van Bronckhorst had asked UEFA to delay the kick-off in the wake of the ‘dangerous’ situation, but his request was rebuffed. PSV will now drop down to the Europa League, where they can expect a more modest windfall of around €15 million. ‘We’re working on building a new team and we will carry on with that. We could have scored more.’
