Rangers 1-7 Liverpool HIGHLIGHTS, Champions League: Salah quickfire hat-trick helps Liverpool dismantle Rangers

What a second half for Liverpool. Six goals in the half with a 5-minute hat-trick from Salah. Absolute domination from the Reds. A morale boosting win for Klopp’s men considering their latest form in the Premier League.

Joe Gomez receives a yellow card

AND IT IS SEVEN FOR LIVERPOOL! HARVEY ELLIOTT IS THE SCORER. What was initially called as offside, is ruled as a goal as VAR intervenes.

GOOOAALLLLL!!! ANOTHER ONE FROM SALAH AND HE COMPLETES HIS HATTRICK!! SUPER SUBSTITUTE INDEED. Rangers defense was exposed and Salah curls it yet again to the left of McGregor. It’s Salah’s 5th hattrick for Liverpool and he has achieved this in just 5 minutes. What an impact he’s had in this game. Elite!

BOOM!! GOAAAAAL! Salah yet again, what an outing he’s having here. Thiago to Milner and he finds Salah just outside the penalty box. The Egyptian waits and completes the shot with ease!!

Substitution for Liverpool: Konate OUT, Milner IN

Triple substitution for Rangers: Colak OUT, Moroles IN; Sakala OUT, Matonda IN; Kent OUT, Wright IN

GOOOAAAALLLL! Super sub Salah! and the build up was from another sub, Jota. Brilliant initial touch from Mo Salah on the right and he slots it into the low right corner of McGregor. Liverpool in cruise control

Substitution for Liverpool: Firmino OUT, Diego Jota IN

CHANCE! great ball from Thiago to Salah in the Rangers’ penalty box. Mcgregor is up for the task and blocks the shot from the Egyptian.

GOOAAAALLLL! Darwin Nunez furthers Liverpool’s lead. Brilliant link up between Carvalho and Firminho. Clever flick from Firmino to find Nunez who curls it into the right corner.

Substitution for Rangers: Jack OUT, Davis IN

GOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!! Lovely little low cross from Gomez to find Firmino. Excellent first touch from the Brazilian as he slots it right past McGregor. Firmino on song tonight

Brilliant play from Liverpool. Henderson finds a running Nunez on the right who finds Tsimikas. He tries to cross but it is put away by Lundstram and its a corner for the Reds. Ball comes in and it is headed straight to Henderson who attempts a volley but fails miserably.

Foul there and it is a free kick for Liverpool. Tsimikas takes it from a doable distance but lets it fly. A poor strike that went straight into the stands

CHANCE! Carvalho gets the ball from Firmino, dribbles past a couple of defenders and gives it back to Firmino who passes the ball to Eliott who shoots, but it is deflected by Barisic.

Sakala starts the proceedings for the dangerous looking Rangers

Not much to separate both teams as the spoils are shared at half time. An exciting second half awaits. Rangers in search for that elusive win while Liverpool will eye for the last-16 qualification

Elliot runs in and finds Nunez on the right, he lobs one into the box aiming for Carvalho but he is nowhere near the ball, goal kick for Rangers

Substitution for Rangers: Goldson OUT; Leon King IN

Goldson is down in agony, looks like a calf injury and he will be taken off the pitch. The injury is caused by Nunez who comes from behind with a tackle

WHAT A SAVE! Konate saves Liverpool from trouble. Sakala with an amazing dribble past Tsimikas and crosses it to Kent. He puts in a good shot but Konate deflects it. Could’ve been 2-1 for Rangers

CHANCE! Firminho loses the ball and Lundstram capitalises. He puts in a through ball to Colack and that is a ridiculous pass from the Croatian international as the ball goes beyond the back line

Free-kick for Rangers as Tsimikas blocks Sakala on the right. Tavernier takes it and whips it into the box but the flag is up. Sakala caught offside

Sakala finds Jack on the right and he produces a long ball into the box and picks Kent but Gomez is there to avert the danger. Rangers are on a roll here

Jurgen Klopp’s side has won 13 of its last 16 Champions League group-stage fixtures.

GOAAAALLLLL! Liverpool are right back in!! Firmino levels it for the Reds. A fast delivery from Tsimikas from the corner and Firmino does well to get his head at the perfect moment, Tavernier can only watch as the ball sails past him and into the right corner. & goals this season for the Brazilian

GOAAAAAAALLLL!!! Arfield puts the home side in the lead with an outstanding finish to the lower right of Alisson. Lundstram with the assist

Ryan Jack from the right flank goes big and finds Barisic on the left, he then tries for a cross but there is no one to receive. Alisson to collects it eventually

What a run from Harvey Elliott, but he is not supported by the Liverpool midfield. He eventually chips one above the Rangers’ defense to find Nunez in the box but cleared by Tavernier. The linesman calls it an offside

In the previous meeting last week Liverpool were in front by this time, courtesy of a free-kick screamer from Trent Alexander-Arnold, who’s on the list of injured Liverpool players. He will be back in 2-3 weeks is what we hear..

Lovely switch from Lundstram. He lobs one from the left all the way to the right flank, changing the passage of play. Sakala receives it inside the 6 yard box and slots a weak shot straight into the hands of Allison. A chance might we say..

The teams are taking things slow and are losing possession back-to-back.

The home crowd in Glasgow is electric. They are all behind the Rangers who are searching for a win this UCL campaign

We are just minutes away from the kick-off. A do-or-die match for Rangers while Liverpool will hunt for a win to increase its probability of a knockouts qualification

Liverpool, coming at the back of a gruelling 2-3 loss over Arsenal in the Premier League, will take on win-less Rangers in the UEFA Champions League group A clash at the Ibrox stadium on Wednesday.
