Grimsby have the ball in the net again! But the referee spots a handball – the ball bounced up into Gardner’s arm – and it won’t count!

Meanwhile in Belgium, Brugge’s Christos Tzolis sends a 25-yarder swerving into the meat of the crossbar, off which it rebounds to safety.

GOAL! Grimsby Town 1-0 Manchester United (Vernam, 22 mins)

Manchester United are losing to Grimsby Town! It’s a fine move, ending with Burns lifting a pass from right to left where Charles Vernam was running untracked into the area, and he took a touch before lashing in at the near post!

As if Celtic being knocked out yesterday and Rangers heading the same way tonight wasn’t enough bad Champions League news for one city, Glasgow City have been knocked out of the Women’s competition. Here’s PA Media:

Glasgow City’s hopes of reaching the Women’s Champions League were ended as Austria Wien recorded a 2-0 second qualifying round victory. There was little between the two sides in the first half as Glasgow competed well at the Franz Horr Stadium in Vienna. Katharina Schiechtl fired the Austrians ahead four minutes after the interval with a direct free-kick. Glasgow stayed in the game and Sofia Maatta went close to an equaliser 12 minutes from time. The tie was put beyond Glasgow in the third minute of stoppage time after Almedina Sisic set up fellow substitute Maria Olsen. Emily Whelan almost claimed a consolation for the Scottish visitors when her effort bounced off the woodwork with almost the last kick of the match.

Fifteen minutes played at Blundell Park and there has so far been one shot on target, Grimsby leading Manchester United 1-0 on those. No actual goals, though.

RED CARD! Rangers go down to 10 men!

A long ball and a suicidally high defensive line combine to undo Rangers. Tzolis looks set to run clear, until Max Aarons pulls him back and brings him down. And that is the very definition of a professional foul.

GOALS! Brighton and Fulham double their leads!

Raul Jimenez for Fulham and Brajan Gruda for Brighton, both of whom now revel in 2-0 leads.

GOAL! Club Brugge 1-0 Rangers (aggregate score 4-1)

And that is surely curtains for Rangers! It’s a splendid cross from the left, and Nicolo Tresoldi stoops at the near post to power in the header!

Rangers will have to learn how to deal a bit better with the pace of Carlos Forbs on the right of the Brugge attack, because scything him down in full flight is not a long-term solution. They give away a free-kick, which is curled out of play.

There have already been a couple of Carabao Cup goals, both in 7.45pm kick-offs: Olivier Boscagli has given Brighton the lead at Oxford, while a George Tanner own goal has handed Fulham the advantage at home to Bristol City.

BONG! The time is 8pm, and the football has begun (those games that hadn’t already begun)!

A few minutes before kick-off o’clock, and teams are emerging from tunnels!

Qarabag qualify for the leaguey bit of the Champions League!

Fireworks explode over the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium after Clement Turpin blows the final whistle – Qarabag lost 3-2 to Ferencvaros, but won 5-4 on aggregate to claim their place in the leaguey bit!

Hello world!

Not quite so many matches tonight as there were yesterday, but it’s about quality not quantity and after Celtic stunk out Tuesday evening there’s definite room for improvement there. We’ve got just four Champions League fixtures to keep an eye out for, one of which started a while ago, and precisely the same number of Carabao Cup games. And they are:

Also tonight: Celta Vigo v Real Betis in La Liga (8pm), Bayern Munich play a first-round German cup tie at Wehen Wiesbaden (7.45pm), Hamilton Academical host Edinburgh City in the Scottish Challenge Cup (7.45pm), and Hibernian play a Women’s Champions League qualifying semi-final against Fortuna Hjorring (7.30pm).

And while we wait for all of that:

It’s all looking very grim for West Ham, says Jacob Steinberg:
