Thanks for joining Tribe's coverage today, that is all we have for you from the French Riviera. I am Cam Russell, signing off.
Nice statistically won the second half of the match, which they can take some solace from. They finished with more possession, total attempts and corners, but as mentioned, it wasn't their attack that let them down, it was the mistakes at the back. Rangers had the luxury of being able to rest their key starters midway through the second half, as they return home to face St Johnstone in the Scottish Premier League this weekend. Nice will head North to face Lyon in what will be a tough battle in the Ligue 1.
Nice weren't completely embarrassed in the end today, managing to get on the board with a superb Bouanini free kick. The embarrassing part though is that the three-goal difference between the teams was a result of three defensive errors. Other than that, the sides shared possession and chances. Rangers fans are in full voice as their side has picked up a big away Europa League victory.
90+3'
The corner is not threatening and cleared easily by Rangers. That brings this game to a close!
90+3'
Louchet's first strike is blocked by the wall, it falls back to him, and his second strike is deflected wide for a corner!
90+2'
Rice clips his opponent, and Nice will have a free kick from another handy position here. A yard outside the box, just left of the penalty arc.
+2
88'
DESSERS BLOWS IT! A great ball crossed by Yilmaz directly to Dessers standing alone on the six-yard line. He chests it down, has only the keeper in front of him, and then fires his shot wide left. Oh dear.
83'
NICE ARE ON THE BOARD! Bouanani lines up the free kick a yard outside the top of the penalty area. He casually strolls up and unleashes a gorgeous left-footed curling strike over the wall, into the top corner. Too good for Butland diving to his left!
