That is all we have time for on Tribe as Rangers earn an important point away from home. I have been Elliot Thompson and thank you for joining me. Stay with us on Tribe for live coverage of Manchester United in the Europa League.
Olympiacos are now in tenth place in the Europa League standings, as they sit outside the top eight due to goal difference. Rangers are only one place ahead of them due to the same reason. Next up for Olympiacos is an away game against Paok whereas Rangers face Hearts at home this weekend.
Rangers will be pleased with that performance which should rebuild morale after such a poor start to the campaign in their domestic league. In the first half, Dessers had two big chances to put them ahead. Bajrami played him through on the left side and he had lots of space to run into. He did just that as he took on Carmo into the box. On his right foot, his finish lacked so much conviction as he just placed it into the chest of the onrushing Tzolakis. Shortly after that, he had a much bigger chance after some good work from Cerny on the right wing. Dessers hit the shot on the turn but Tzolakis made himself big to make the save. In the second-half Dessers made sure he didn't let another chance pass him by. A poor pass came to Cerny who brought it down and played Dessers in on goal. He waited for the terrible sliding tackle from Restos before poking it around him. One-on-one he placed the ball into the bottom left corner with a clinical finish. He did have another big opening but he rushed his shot on the edge of the area when he should have found either Cerny or Bajrami. Dessers also had another possible one-on-one situation but he didn't realise Rodinei was near him so that chance disappeared quickly. Overall it is a good point but on another day Rangers might have snatched the victory.
IT ENDS ALL SQUARE IN GREECE! Olympiacos share the points at home with Rangers which hasn't impressed their fans. At the end, there are some whistles after that 90 minutes. They went ahead in the second half thanks to a fantastic finish from El Kaabi. Chiquinho headed the ball down to him and on the turn, he thumped the ball into the top right corner. However, before and after that, they didn't give Jack Butland much work to do. In the first half, he had to catch a shot from a distance by Costinha. Apart from that the home side just didn't make Butland work due to the lack of quality coming forward. Martins and Velde had two decent openings in the last 15 minutes. Velde's shot was blocked but Martins had so much time to pick out each corner. Instead on his left foot, he blazed it wildly over the bar which summed up the night for the Greeks. Overall Jose Mendilibar will probably be happy with a point as Rangers arguably had the better chances to win the game.
90+5'
Raskin tactically fouls Martins who was sprinting away on the left side trying to start a counter attack. A good foul to give away.

CHANCE! Barron gets on the end of a loose ball on the edge of the box. It opens up for him to shoot at the death. He tries to dribble past Carmo into the area though which doesn't end well as he has to poke it out to McCausland. He cannot keep the momentum going.
90+1'
Rodinei tries to run away from McCausland on the right wing. McCausland does well to get back at him to stick a tackle in conceding a throw. Olympiacos work the ball over to Pirola on the left wing. Kasanwirjo takes it off him then holds off Velde to win a free-kick.
