BBC Sport: Rangers Boss Believe They Can Advance From Group Stage

Rangers can reach the Europa League knockout stage despite being underdogs in Group G, boss Steven Gerrard says.

They make their debut in the competition's group stage away to Spanish side Villarreal on Thursday. Russia's Spartak Moscow and Rapid Vienna of Austria are the group's other teams.

"We are the underdogs in the group, but in the dressing room, we have a quiet confidence and belief we can make it out the group," Gerrard said. "We are not here to make the numbers up."

Rangers are ending an eight-year absence from European group-stage football. And they are one of four teams to have progressed to this point of the competition having started their campaign in the first qualifying round.

"This game highlights how far the team have come," Gerrard said. "I don't think many gave us a chance of reaching this stage. "The players have earned the opportunity to play against a very good team."

Villarreal, who finished fifth in last season's La Liga, have reached the Europa League semi-finals on three occasions and have progressed to the knockout stage in each of the past five seasons.

Gerrard realises the strength of Thursday's opposition but insists Rangers must play to their strengths. "We want to play football as much as possible, but it's not always about it looking great on the eye. It's about winning," he said.

BBC Sport: Burnley & Olympiacos Fined By UEFA After Europa League Incidents

Burnley and Olympiakos have been fined by Uefa after incidents during both legs of their Europa League play-off last month.

The Greek side were fined 41,000 euros (£36,525) for fans "throwing objects, setting off fireworks and blocking stairways" in the first leg in Athens.

A Burnley fan was stabbed and four others were injured before the match.

Burnley were fined 5,000 euros (£4,450) after objects were thrown during the second leg at Turf Moor.

Sean Dyche's side, who were playing in Europe for the first time in 51 years, lost 4-2 on aggregate.

BBC Sport: AC Milan - Gennaro Gattuso 'baffled' by performance against Real Betis

AC Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso accepts his job should be debated after they produced a "terrible, embarrassing performance" against Real Betis.

Milan are 12th in Serie A after a 1-0 injury-time defeat by Inter Milan and followed that with a 2-1 Europa League home defeat to the Spanish side.

"It's only right that my position is under discussion," Gattuso, 40, said. "It's difficult for a coach to sleep after a performance like this, one of the worst."

Gattuso, a former midfielder with Milan and Italy, has been in charge of the club - who have not won a major trophy in seven years - since November 2017.

Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport says his job is not in immediate danger, but that Milan's next three games are crucial. "I'm worried, disappointed and angry, especially with myself," he said. "I do not think about my situation, I'm thinking about how to solve this problem.

"I'm the first person responsible for this situation, I'm bound by the results. I train a great club and it is right for me to take responsibility. I have to understand who has the right mentality. In some moments we applied nothing which we had prepared. There is too much fear of making mistakes.

"It's not a question of formations - the team has lost its identity. This performance baffles me. Probably my staff and I were not clear enough, otherwise we can not explain this performance. The defeat does not hurt as much as the performance. We did not play as AC Milan do. Right now what leaves me more worried is the fragility and the mentality. We must understand why the light suddenly turned off."

BBC Sport: Rodgers - Celtic "Back To Their Best" Ahead Of Europa League & Scottish Fixtures

Brendan Rodgers believes Celtic are recapturing the best form they have shown during his time as manager.

Rodgers' side lost two of their first six Premiership games but have won eight and drawn one of their past nine domestic games. They visit Rosenborg in the Europa League on Thursday before taking on Aberdeen in Sunday's League Cup final.

"I feel now we're back to that level that we were at for a large part of my time here," said Rodgers. "We've got two important games. Over the last couple of seasons, we've always had very important games in midweek and then gone into these semi-finals or finals having been really tested. Rosenborg will be a tough test for us, we expect that. It's not new to us, we've been out there over the last couple of seasons now. We know what to expect. We know they're a good side. Again, another champion up there that's in our group."

Double treble-winning boss Rodgers, who is aiming to become the first manager to win seven successive Scottish domestic trophies since Walter Smith with Rangers in 1994, has been without captain Scott Brown in recent weeks. "Scott's been training now with the squad," Rodgers said of the midfielder. "We'll just assess him for the remainder of the week and see what level he's at and take it from there."

Australia midfielder Tom Rogic missed Saturday's 3-0 win against Hamilton Academical following international duty but Rodgers said: "He'll be available for both games. It was just too much of a risk for him to play at the weekend. He looked fantastic in training this morning."
