Thanks for your company and comments; peace.Righto, our match reports are here. Back at Ibrox, Ally has come down pitchside; he’s seething. Scott Arfield and Alan Hutton have also been happier.That could be a huge result for Villa. They’ve still got really good players and a really good manager, they’ve just lost a bit of impetus. Ezri Konsa is giving a really good and honest interview to TNT, talking about their difficulty in scoring goals and the feeling of being publicly criticised by their boss.ResultsFerencvaros 1-1 Viktoria PlzenSalzburg 0-1 PortoStuttgart 2-1 Celta VigoUtrecht 0-1 LyonYoung Boys 1-4 PanathanaikosRangers 0-1 GenkAston Villa 1-0 Bologna“Robbie Keane’s boyhood dream-club Ferencvaros have just scored a stoppage-time equaliser at home against Viktoria Plzen!” observes Peter Oh.In fairness, he must properly love football – he’s gone wherever it’s taken him since moving to Italy when he was 20.I suppose Rangers can say they had a man sent off, but at the same time there are only so many defeats that any club will accept. In co-comms, Ally has his sad voice on, saying that something will have to give because the team are miles off.FULL TIME: Rangers 0-1 GenkAnother defeat for Rangers.“Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller was all too easily muscled off the ball,” returns Kári Tulinius, “allowing Borja Iglesias to run at goal, rolling the ball past Nubel.”2-1 to Stuttgart then. There was talk of Stiller moving to England, but I wonder if he has the physicality.It’s almost over at Ibrox; Mohamed Diomande will be feeling some feelings, because until he got sent off unnecessarily, it was an even contest.FULL TIME: Aston Villa 1-0 BolognaA big win for Villa. It wasn’t a great performance, but it was solid enough and gives them a bit of momentum. They meet Fulham on Sunday.Bologna have a free-kick, it goes down the line, the cross is met by Freuler with a David Platt-style header, flicker hard and loopy … but Bizot back-peddles to claw away form under the bar! The difference between one point and three.Rangers go down the left, the cross is cut back, to the edge, and Barron is there … but his effort is blocked behind, for a corner that comes to nothing.Villa break and Watkins moves forward, finds a shooting angle … and not dissimilarly to Sancho, lashes a riser wide of the far post, seeking curl.At Villa Park, there’ll be five additional minutes.Rangers need to think about taking some risks: they may as well lose this 2-0 as 1-0. At the moment, though, they’re under pressure. Four minutes to go.Genk's Kayembe collides with Rangers manager Russell Martin on the touchline. Photograph: Andrew Milligan/PAVilla have stepped it up these last few minutes, Sancho again at the hub of things, flicking a lovely lofted pass for Digne, who crosses, and Rogers can’t quite get a proper shot off.Sancho’s looked lively since coming on and he teases his man with a feint that intimates a pass outside; the run was really good from Digne. So Sancho shimmies inside, it opens up and he tries a curler that has fade not draw.At Villa Park, eight minutes remain. Rowe crosses from the right, and the ball only just eludes the man in the middle; they’re looking like they’ll create a chance between now and full time. They send on Dallinga for Castro and Fabbian for Odgaard.“Bilal El Khannous ‘goal for Stuttgart was a lovely individual effort,” returns Kári Tulinius. “He ran along the edge of the area before sending a low drive into the far corner.”I enjoyed him at Leicester – I’m keen to see how he develops because he’s got plenty of talent.Other goals that went in while we were caught up elsewhere: Lyon have gone 1-0 in Utrecht; Stuttgart now lead Celta 2-0; and Panathaniakos are 4-1 up at Young Boys.At Ibrox, Oh has slid in after good work from Hrosovsky, but it turns out the former was offside when sprung down the right.Bologna come again, a cross headed goalwards, and Bizot starjumps, making a save that’s actually better than was first apparent.Bologna fancy this now and come down the left, Orsolini crossing brilliantly and Castro is up … but he either mistimes his jump or can’t get on top of the ball, it’s hard to see, but either way the ball flies over the top. That’s an escape for Villa.“I remember attending games in the mid-80s at Ibrox,’” emails Tony Hughes. This was in the pre-Souness days. There’d be 5,000 of us watching Robert Prytz and Derek Johnstone fail to score against Motherwell. Happy Days.”Following Rangers post-demotions must’ve also been decent.SKORUPSKI SAVES WATKINS' PENALTY!He opens his body like he’s going bottom-right, the keeper dives bottom-left, and when the shot goes bottom-middle, he saves with his feet. Watkins hasn’t scored yet this season, and his form is starting to become a problem.Watkins has his penalty saved by Skorupsk. Photograph: Andrew Boyers/Action Images/ReutersBut was Watkins offside? Apparently not. He’ll take the penalty…PENALTY TO VILLA!This looks clear. Sancho wins it high – that is not a misprint – and Watkins collects, seps across Vitik, who clips him, and that’s a stonewaller.Watkins is fouled by Bologna's Vitik resulting in a penalty. Photograph: Nick Potts/PA‘Stuttgart have been much the better team tonight,” writes Kári Tulinius, “pressing fiercely and creating pleasing attacking patterns, without creating clear chances, because Celta Vito have defended in numbers. But a long goal kick allowed Denis Undav to run at goal from the halfway line and he lobbed the opposition goalkeeper. The Galicians will need to come out of their shell, which should suit the Swabians perfectly.”Thanks for that – I’m watching Villa v Bologna and Rangers v Genk, so it’s good to get more than a score.Gassama gets around the back, crosses low for Watkins … and Vitik makes an excellent saving challengeVilla send on Sancho and Watkins for Buendia and Malen.GOAL! Rangers 0-1 Genk (Oh 55)It’s taken him a while, but the former Celtic man finally has his goal. Steuckers sets him away in behind – how are a side with 10 so open? – he marches through, steadies, and sends a left-footer across Butland and into the far corner. Very nicely taken.Oh scores for Genk. Photograph: Andrew Milligan/PABall over the top and Hrosovsky gallops away, crossing low for the sliding Oh … who can’t quite get his leg around it, his finish moving wide with the direction of the ball.GOAL! Stuttgart 1-0 Celta Vigo (Boumani 51)It’s only the games at Rangers and Utrecht which remain goalless.Bouanani scores the opening goal. Photograph: Thomas Kienzle/AFP/Getty ImagesDesperate defending from Rangers after Butland doesn’t shovel around the post a shot he winds up blocking back into play. But he makes a better sae from a follow-up and there are two or three blocks too before Rangers finally clear.Rangers seem to be playing 4-4-1. If they can get men up with Chermiti when they counter, they can do something in this game and, as I type, they get forward, cross, and when a weak clearance header bounces up nicely for Aasgaard, he … swipes over the top.Off we go again at Ibrox; at Villa Park, Maatsen plays a decent long pass for Malen, but he’s well tracked and unloaded by Lucumi.
