Galaxy-Rangers running blog (1st half)

HALFTIME

45 - One minute of stoppage time so the teams can kick the ball around and get nowhere

41 - Burke floated dangerous ball into Galaxy area but Marshall cleared it away

37 - Ian Murray fouled Harmse 27 yards out, Galaxy free kick; Quaranta hit the wall

36 - Burke danced around in area with the ball but shot deflected off a teammate and rolled harmlessly to Cronin

34 - Novo had the ball deep inside penalty area, couldn't turn around, ball skipped over end line

33 - Quaranta booked for dragging down Alan Hutton

32 - Haven't forgotten to update, just not a whole lot going on

22 - Chris Burke cross, Cronin got his fingertips on it before Kris Boyd got to the ball

19 - Santino sent Cobi nice pass down right flank, Cobi couldn't get a cross off, Adam cleared it, Galaxy corner

17 - Santino breakaway, GK well off his line, kicked ball clear from 15 yards out

16 - Tyrone Marshall shielded Barry Ferguson from a slow-rolling ball that eventually went over the end line; Marshall knocked Ferguson over

15 - Adam 22-yard shot goes well over crossbar

12 - Nacho Novo free in area for a second but handled ball with his arm

10 - Veris gave away corner kick; Veris headed a ball that was going right into Cronin's arms; on ensuing corner kick, Charlie Adam's header went just wide

5 - Rangers free kick on left flank, Kris Boyd fouled on the play; Rangers swing ball over to right flank, Alan Hutton with cross, Steve Cronin plucks it from mid-air

3 - Not much going on thus far. By the way, I'm told that there are seven subs allowed for each side. Rangers has six players listed as reserves for tonight's game so maybe Walter Smith will get some time on the field.

I wasn't going to do this but what the hell?

Game on. Lineups are below.
