James Tavernier's finger brushes his chest on the touchline, and the striker throws himself down clutching his face. For good measure, he rubs the back of his head for some reason after he gets up. Less than impressive amateur dramatics from the Betis No.

20:27Andy MacKayBig chance for BetisEzzazouli is played in behind down the left hand side and he fires his low shot from a tough angle, but it still requires a smart stop from Jack Butland and, luckily for Rangers, the rebound falls for Borna Barisic to clear his lines and Rangers survive. Betis are starting to grow into the contest.

Rangers vs Real Betis: TV channel and live stream for Europa League clashThe Europa League is a tournament Rangers have fond memories of over recent years and they are back in group stage action when they take on Real Betis on Thursday night. It's the first Europa League game Rangers will have played since the final in Seville in 2022 and although that didn't go as they hoped, it was an incredible run to get to the final beating the likes of Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig. Betis are coming into it off the back of a 5-0 defeat to Barcelona but there's no shame in that and they'll be hoping to get a good result to take back to Seville later in the group. Rangers and Betis are favourites to go through from this group with Aris Limassol and Sparta Prague the other teams and with two away games to come after this, Michael Beale will be desperate for a strong start to things at Ibrox in front of a 50k crowd.
The resulting set piece from Isco is cleared, but the ball finds its way back to the playmaker, who fizzes a very decent cross in, that just evades everyone. 20:06Ross PilcherSecond stageOkay, so it's not the Champions League. But this is a competition Rangers have history in, no matter what it's being called. And while they aren't mixing it with the really big boys, there are some quality teams that will stand in their way if Gers want to repeat their run of 2022.
