A Closer Look at the Match
Rangers return to action on Thursday when hosting old rivals Progrès Niederkorn at Ibrox from 7.45pm. The Gers have painful memories of this opponent after they knocked Pedro Caixinha’s team of duds out of the running at the qualifying stage a couple of years ago. That rated as one of the biggest upsets in Europe that season and was one of the worst, if not the worst, in Rangers history. It made headlines around the continent and home fans are still not over it.
This may only be a qualifier but there will be close to a capacity crowd at the Govan venue with the locals out in force hoping to get their fair share of revenge. Steven Gerrard has made many changes since swapping Anfield for Govan and he’ll aim to show just how far his side have come on by beating Proges. If they can get the desired result, keep a clean-sheet and score a few goals in the process they will give themselves a great opportunity to get through.
Rangers progressed to this stage thanks to a 10-0 aggregate win over Gibraltar Premier League side St Joseph’s, a result that made a bit of a mockery of The Gers being involved at such an early stage. All Scottish teams, especially both halves of the Old Firm, believe they should be dropped in at a much latter phase of the European competitions and many fans believe there’s a case for both the Scottish Premiership winners and runners up to go into the Champions League. To have any chance of achieving that the national team and the likes of Aberdeen and Kilmarnock would have to do their bit for the coefficient.
