FT: Midtjylland 3-1 Celtic FT: AEK Larnaca 0-0 Aberdeen Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin: "The way the players behaved today as a team, the tactical discipline and we got good opportunities in transitions. "It was two big chances - we had one and they had one at the end. "We are going in the right direction. We need to keep working. "[Dylan Lobban] has worked so hard. Sometimes when you get an opportunity, you have to take it and he was one of the best players on the pitch. "It's important to be in European competition every year and we should never give up. "Now it's about recovery and doing everything we can to get the players ready for the next game. " FT: Midtjylland 3-1 Celtic Celtic interim manager Martin O'Neill: "It was a tough evening. There's no question about it. We were well in the game for half an hour. "We conceded two goals within a minute, or 90 seconds of each other. The game goes away from you very, very quickly. They score a third after seven minutes and it's a long way back. "In terms of European football, they're a very fine side. There's no question about it. They're strong, physically, very, very strong. It was something I knew anyway because of seeing them a couple of weeks ago. "Disappointing, but I thought we showed a bit of character in the second half. We could have gone under, it could have been any sort of score, but the players, I thought, pulled themselves together, pulled it around a bit and showed some character and resilience, for want of better words. " Before we turn our attention to the second half at Ibrox, let's get some reaction from the Celtic and Aberdeen camps. It was a miserable night for Martin O'Neill but a positive evening for Jimmy Thelin. HT: Rangers 0-2 Roma Kheredine Idessane BBC Scotland at Ibrox Not for the first time this season in the Europe, there are loud boos from the home fans on the referee's whistle for the break. I must admit, when Roma scored early and then had a couple of further chances before the second went in, my mind flashed back to the horror show Rangers had here at home to Club Brugge. The Belgians were three goals up in 20 minutes in the Champions League qualifier. It's not been quite on that scale here, but Roma look the best side to have played here since Nicky Hayen's impressive outfit. There is much for Danny Rohl to do at the interval. Expect some changes in the Rangers side that emerges for the second period. HT: Rangers 0-2 Roma This season there has certainly been a huge drop-off, Alex, but this club and a fair few of these players got to the last eight of this competition just last season. HT: Rangers 0-2 Roma There would be less embarrassment if Rangers weren't in these competitions, they are not in any way shape or form at the level required to compete on the European stage. This is just not good enough and a new manager isn't going to make a team out of this lot. Alex At a glance Aberdeen grind out first Conference League point in third match Karlsson and Milne both pass up decent opportunities for Thelin's side Milicevic hits post for Larnaca, who stay unbeaten in competition Aberdeen picked up their first Conference League point of the season with a gritty goalless draw with AEK Larnaca in Cyprus. Jimmy Thelin's side lost 3-2 against Shakhtar Donestsk in their opening match of the league stage before a chastening 6-0 defeat by AEK Athens. Meanwhile, Larnaca opened with impressive wins over AZ Alkmaar and FA Cup holders Crystal Palace. But despite those contrasting starts, Aberdeen held their own with a disciplined defensive display, keeping Larnaca at arm's length and relying on counter-attacks. The Cypriot hosts went close in the first half as centre-back Hrvoje Milicevic hit the base of the post with a powerful shot from distance before curling another long-range shot inches wide soon after. The visitors also had chances through Jack Milne, who skewed a shot well wide and headed well over the top, and Jesper Karlsson, whose deflected effort went wide. The match looked to be fizzling out in the second half, but both teams could have won it at the death. Aberdeen winger Topi Keskinen drove into Larnaca territory in the 90th minute before picking out Nicolas Milanovic unmarked at the back post. He fluffed his lines though, slicing a shot wide with the goal at his mercy. Then, deep into added time, Larnaca substitute Karol Angielski inexplicably put a close-range header wide. Midtjylland score three in eight minutes to down Celtic in Europa League Subscribe to our dedicated Aberdeen page The last time Aberdeen played in the Conference League, they suffered their heaviest-ever European defeat as they shipped six goals against AEK Athens. After this, club legend and BBC Scotland pundit Willie Miller praised the defensive solidity and tenacity and the visitors did limit Larnaca to shots from tight angles or long range. It was a much-improved showing from the trip to Greece, but the worry for those of an Aberdeen persuasion is in possession, where there is a lack of discernible style and cutting edge. They are the lowest scorers in Scotland's top flight and it wasn't clear at any stage how Thelin's team were trying to break Larnaca down, beyond giving it to Karlsson and asking him to produce something from nothing. Marko Lazetic huffed and puffed up front without much support and Milanovic's late miss summed up Aberdeen's woes in front of goal. Gone is the high-pressing, high-octane side that took Scotland by storm in the first few months of Thelin's tenure. With a challenging run of fixtures between now and the new year, Thelin desperately needs to find an attacking spark from somewhere. Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin: "The way the players behaved today was as a team - the tactical discipline and we got good opportunities in transitions. "It was two big chances - we had one and they had one at the end. We are going in the right direction. We need to keep working. "[Dylan Lobban] has worked so hard. Sometimes when you get an opportunity, you have to take it and he was one of the best players on the pitch. "It's important to be in European competition every year and we should never give up. Now it's about recovery and doing everything we can to get the players ready. " Aberdeen host Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday (15: 00 GMT) before the international break.
