FULL TIME

Thanks for joining us for tonight's Europa League live coverage.

Braga and Roma remain inside the Europa League's top eight after important wins this evening.

Forest are 15th and must win against Ferencváros at home next week to reach the automatic qualification places.

Rangers secure their first Europa League triumph of the season and extend their winning run to six in all competitions.

FULL TIME: Braga 1-0 Forest

RED CARD!

Forest's night goes from bad to worse as Elliot Anderson is sent off for dissent.

FULL TIME: Rangers 1-0 Ludogorets

FULL TIME: Roma 2-0 Stuttgart

GOAL ROMA!

Roma wrap up all three points in injury time and Pisilli is at the double. Paulo Dybala holds up the ball expertly, lays off to Pisilli and he drills into the roof of the net.

FOREST PENALTY APPEAL

Into the final minute and Ndoye is caught by a sliding tackle and goes down inside the box. No penalty and the midfielder is booked for diving.

SAVE RANGERS

Caio Vidal lashes a shot towards goal and Butland watches it all the way to keep Rangers ahead with just a few minutes left.

CHANCE FOREST

Forest have a couple of snaps at goal. The first is bundled straight to Dan Ndoye whose point-blank shot is saved by Horníček.

Braga inches away from a second as Pau Victor tries to get his head on the ball from a few yards out. Fortunately for Forest, he misses and the ball goes behind.

CHANCE STUTTGART!

Roma are not quite over the line yet and Stuttgart nearly level through Ermedin Demirović's close-range strike. Svilar was alert to preserve Roma's advantage.

A tough minute that for Forest!

CHANCE RANGERS

What a goal that would have been! Findlay Curtis cuts inside and curls towards the top corner, forcing Hendrik Bonmann into a strong save.

Oooh, Rangers have a big chance to finish the game off as Bojan Miovski gets into the Ludogorets area with just the goalkeeper to beat. He tries to lay it off for a teammate and the chance goes begging.

OFF THE POST

So close to a Braga second goal. Like the first, Braga cruise through Forest's backline on the right flank and Pau Victor drills a first-time shot off the post.

OFF THE BAR

What an incredible strike from Ola Aina. The full-back controls a short free-kick and thumps a dipping effort from 30-yards out and it cannons off the bar.

ANOTHER FOREST CHANCE!

They've come to life after that opener and James McAtee fires over the crossbar from a tight angle.

CHANCE FOREST

The Tricky Trees nearly respond from a long throw and it's Yates again whose flicked header goes just over the crossbar.

GOOAL BRAGA

Wow, in a matter of seconds after that penalty miss, Yates, who won the penalty, fails to clear a routine low cross into the Forest area and bundles the ball into his own net!

MISSED PENALTY FOREST

Gibbs-White steps up firest towards the bottom corner and Lukáš Horníček is equal to the effort and saves!

PENALTY FOREST

Gabri Martínez bundles down Ryan Yates inside the area and it's a penalty to Forest. After a quick VAR check, the penalty is given.

Ranger seek a second after half time and Nico Raskin flashes a powerful shot wide.

CHANCE STUTTGART

An early opening for the German side as Deniz Undav tests Mile Svilar with a one on one opportunity.

SECOND HALF

The Europa League second halves get underway.

Few chances for the Tricky Trees at the Quarry this evening.

HALF TIME: Braga 0-0 Forest

HALF TIME: Roma 1-0 Stuttgart

HALF TIME: Rangers 1-0 Ludogorets

Moore bursts into the Ludogorets box and is about to strike, but Hendrik Bonmann comes out to smother bravely.

Roma almost make it two just before the break. Lorenzo Pellegrini whips a shot towards the top corner and Nubel tips to safety.

GOAL ROMA!

The Serie A side have started to apply the pressure and Niccolo Pisilli gives Roma the lead. He breaks past the Stuttgart backline and hammers a top finish high into the net past Nubel.

CLOSE BRAGA

Forest have been in complete control in Portugal, but Braga almost sprung a surprise as Gabri Martinez glances a header inches wide.

GOAL RANGERS

Mohammed Diomande puts Rangers in front with his first Europa League goal of the campaign! The hosts whip the ball into the box and Ludogorets can't clear before Diomande drills low into the net.

Ludogorets continue to keep the pressure on and Stanic's first-time effort bounces just wide of the post.

CHANCE LUDOGORETS

The visitors work the ball down the left wing and get the ball into Petar Stanic, who strikes towards goal from seven yards out. Butland is well-placed to keep it out.

Villa remain level with Lyon at the top of the Europa League after an excellent campaign so far.

Roma have their first half opening of the evening as Matías Soulé lashes over from a promising position.

Forest work the ball well down the right flank and eventually get it to Ryan Yates on the edge of the area, who rushes his effort and fires well wide.

CHANCE FOREST!

Morgan Gibbs-White takes a free-kick from around 20-yards out. He thinks he's found the top corner but Lukas Hornicek gets across his goal to save.

CHANCE RANGERS

Chermiti's stinging effort is saved and Mikey Moore's chipped effort on the follow up is cleared off the line. Lively start at Ibrox!

Rangers get on the front foot early and Youssef Chermiti has an early strike at goal.

KICK OFF

We're just five minutes away from our next batch of Europa League games, including Braga vs Forest and Roma vs Stuttgart.

FT: Fenerbahçe 0-1 Aston Villa

FT: Bologna 2-2 Celtic

Into the final five minutes...

Will we see any late drama in the early Europa League games?

OR IS IT?

After a VAR check, Fenerbahçe's equaliser is ruled out for offside. Let off for Villa!

Fenerbahçe 0-1 Aston Villa

GOAL! THERE IS THE EQUALISER!

Exactly what Villa did not want. Kerem Aktürkoğlu unleashes an effort with his right foot to find the net.

Fenerbahçe 1-1 Aston Villa

GOAAAL! WHAT A TURNAROUND!

Just like that, Bologna are level against 10-man Celtic. This time it's winger Jonathan Rowe with the effort to square things up.

Bologna 2-2 Celtic

OFFSIDE!

Villa have the ball in the net but it's quickly flagged for offside. The visitors still lead by one.

Fenerbahçe 0-1 Aston Villa

Game of basketball!

It's all very end-to-end in Turkey. Matty Cash hit the post a moment ago before the hosts went up the other end and carved an opportunity of their own. Can Villa hold on?

Fenerbahçe 0-1 Aston Villa

CHANCE!

Talisca unleashes an effort but Marco Bizot makes a comfortable save. The hosts keep pushing for an equaliser.

Fenerbahçe 0-1 Aston Villa

GOAAAL! BOLOGNA!

The hosts have pulled a goal back against Celtic. Forward Thijs Dallinga finds the net to give the Italian side a lifeline.

Bologna 1-2 Celtic

Team news ahead of Roma vs Stuttgart...

KICK OFF!

Back underway for the second half of Villa's clash with Fenerbahçe and Celtic's meeting with Bologna.

And that it half time in both the early games here. Celtic are in charge and Aston Villa have taken a slender lead thanks to Jadon Sancho. Join us in 15 minutes for the second half.

A corner from the right is flicked on at the near post and Trusty is there at the far stick to prod in a second.

GOAL! Bologna 0-2 Celtic

They may be a man down but Celtic have now doubled their lead thanks to Auston Trusty! Martin O'Neill can do no wrong at the moment.

It was really daft from Hatate, who was already on a yellow card.

RED CARD!

Celtic may be a goal up but they're now a man down with goalscorer Hatate getting his marching orders just after the half hour mark.

Sancho ghosted into the area there and headed in from close range. Unai Emery's men lead.

GOAL! Fenerbahce 0-1 Aston Villa

Villa have the breakthrough as Jadon Sancho nets for the Premier League side.

Kasper Schmeichel is tested again, as Bologna go on the attack. The Danish goalkeeper dives well to his right to block a powerful shot from Juan MIranda from the edge of the box.

Two former Villa men, Asensio and Duran, combine well for the hosts but their inter-play eventually comes to nothing.

It's end to end in the game between Fenerbahce and Aston Villa. First Buendia has a free kick blocked but right up the other end Bizot makes a smart save. There's no way this game ends goalless.

GOAL! Bologna 0-1 Celtic

Celtic capitalise on a shocking defensive error and Hatate nets to give the visitors a lead.

Morgan Rogers races through on goal but Oosterwolde shows a great turn of pace to make a brilliant sliding challenge. The hosts are up for this one!

It's an absolute cauldron of noise in Istanbul. This looks like it could be a long night for Villa, they'll have to be at their best to win here.

KICK OFF! We're underway in Istanbul and Bologna.

Of course the big storyline from Istanbul is Jhon Duran's reunion with Villa. Can the Colombia international score against his old side?

Not long now ...

This is your five minute warning for kick off in those early games.

Unai Emery's side are currently in third place in the standings whilst Fenerbahce are 12th. Celtic meanwhile are down in 24th with Bologna in 13th.

There's 15 minutes to kick off in both of these early games and the atmosphere is bubbling under nicely. Here are some of the other matches taking place soon ...

And O'Neill's men as they go to Bologna for an intriguing clash ...

Here's the Villa team ahead of tonight's game ...

Good evening everyone and welcome to our Europa League live blog where we'll be running you through the big games on this penultimate round of action.
