Great run by Foster. Superb run up the park. Engelaar forced to concede the corner from his cross. Diouf's corner narrowly escapes the head of Bartley.
50'
Not much of an atmopshere inside the ground. This all suits Rangers. Laffery fails to keep the ball and PSV win possession.
49'
Dzsudzsák with another hopeful ball into the area, but Rangers with plenty of time to see that coming. Slowly, but surely we settle into the same pattern as the first period.
48'
Dzsudzsák makes a run down the line from Berg's ball, but he has overhit the pass. Foster with the throw-in. Plenty of blue shirts back.
47'
Edu takes down Bouma and he is in need of a bit of treatment. The veteran Dutch player is back on his feet and on we go.

There goes the whislte. Easy half for Rangers. Looking good so far for the Scottish champions out there.
45'
Foster dashes into the box to win a corner as he knocks the ball off a Dutch frame. Lafferty misses the ball from Diouf's corner. Good play from Rangers, though.
44'
Dzsudzsák throws over another cross, but easy take for Alexander. All going to plan for Rangers as we head for the break.

Poor decision against Lafferty who was bounding clear. Was clearly onside. That would have been a golden chance for Rangers.
42'
Rangers have officially had one shot at goal. Can't really remember that one, but they have been under little sustained pressure from the Dutch league leaders.
41'
Lens gets the ball out from Diouf's corner. Rangers having a bit more joy coming forward before Bougherra wins the ball from Dzsudzsák, who had gone past Foster.
40'
Davis wins the ball and rolls it back to Edu. Manolev concedes the corner with Whittaker pressurising. Corner to the visiting side.
39'

Dzsudzsák with the free-kick from out wide. Lens nods the ball on, but Marceloa has nodded that over the bar with Berg alongside him. Second chance of the half for PSV.
38'
Rangers well in this match. Bougherra takes a tumble. PSV have been snuffed out by the Glasgow side. Bougherra catches Dzsudzsák and that is a free-kick to the home side.
37'
Rangers try to break, but Weir can't pick out Edu as Dzsudzsák wins the ball. PSV go backwards and sideways before Lens smashes a shot wide of the goal. Worth a pop, but always high.
36'
Bougherra making himself heard. Pieters throws over another hopeful cross, but Weir is on hand to scoop the ball out. All so predictable from PSV.
35'
Bartley having to look lively. PSV coach Fred Rutten is studying this match with some interest. His side have done little or nothing in the first period.
34'
Pieters nods out the corner from Diouf. Meanwhile, Bartley is needing a bit of treatment after heading the back of Berg's head.
33'
Berg nods Diouf's corner out from the outswinger. Another corner to Rangers. The visiting fans sensing something might be on here.
32'
Edu's 25-yard shot is blocked by Bouma after Whittaker threw a long free-kick into the area before Rangers manage to win a corner. Diouf to take.
