MOTM Poll Rangers 3-0 Union Saint-Gilloise (3-2 agg) - Rangers history-makers break historic European hoodoo! We salute them!

[Valley Bluenose]

Take all that on board.

My thinking was more...its a roll of the dice with Alfie and fitness but one worth taking given the magnitude of whats at stake tonight.

Them lapping up the Champions League millions off our labour whilst we fall at the first hurdle (and i'll be candid, i thought PSV or Monaco would be a test, but not this, over two legs), thats grim for us.

Comes down to the Manager's judgement and, hopefully, he knows Alfie's fitness better than any of us. The nightmare scenario would be starting Alfie tonight, us still failing to qualify and him aggravating the injury and being out for another 6 weeks.

That's something I don't even want to contemplate in all honesty.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

What time does the coverage start on RTV?

Now.

 

[LiviLoyal]

Now.

Thanks VB.

 

[Northampton Lodger]

Baws oot team and rightly so- just need the players to gel very quickly.

Was always going to be difficult with Bassey and Aribo gone and Alfie not fully ready.

If we are going out we might as well do it with a bang. No need to be cautious here.

 

[I'm So Bored With The MSM]

C'mon The Teddy Bears!

 

[Cardowan Loyal]

We simply cannot play as bad as we did last week. I think a fast start and they may crumble with the crowd bouncing but worried if its another slow start from us we may struggle to get a hold of the game at all. Just do it Rangers please

 

[WinkieWATP]

Bought booze at 5pm for tonights match, but I've drank it all already and am steamin. Ready for bed already and the match hasn't started. FMD.

You’ll be able to run down the shop and be back for kick off and get some more

 

[Kingging]

If true I’ll be watching the penalty shootout in A+E.

I'm hoping for a minor coronary with a few weeks off on the sick myself

Better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

Give it everything.

 

[Ferrybear73]

Right, the part where he came on and scored on Saturday

He can't play a full 90 minutes m8, or even 60 minutes then take him off. Reckon he'll be on for last half hour, regardless of the score.

 

[Mabearette]

Brilliant night for it. I think we’ll do it.

Perfect weather So nervous....do this tonight Gers

Colak put us out last year and he can put this mob out tonight with the right service.

Alfie with 20 to go if we need one goal to go through!

 

[bluetonic]

Plenty of pace on that bench.

No use on the bench though, really needed Morelos snd Colak upfront tonight, we’re down 0-2 as it is

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Same scorers as last time and we are through.

 

[KingLaudrup81]

Can't see anything on RTV, has coverage started?

 

[Ferrybear73]

I reckon Tillman will be massive for us tonight. I've been very impressed so far with him.

 

[foxinthebox]

Must admit i am concerned about the left hand side after last weeks showing, I just hope the lads are absolutely up for it for the entire match

 

[ChesterBear72]

Get in to them from the start! A couple of early goals will be nice!

C'mon the Gers!

 

[der_hammer10]

Tav to score in the first 5 mins.

 

[I'm So Bored With The MSM]

Can't see anything on RTV, has coverage started?

Yes

 

[Ferrybear73]

Turn up Ibrox, turn up Rangers and with the rub of the green we turn it round.

Best effort everybody!

Rub of the blue more like !!!

 

[asialoyal]

100% effort, play as a team, take shots and show them no respect.
We have everything we need to win this.
4-0 Rangers

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Can't see anything on RTV, has coverage started?

Started at 1915hrs. What are you seeing? Have you bought the match? Maybe simply needs a screen Refresh.

 

[Bigeye]

If any club have experience breaking down a packed defense it's the Rangers. Control the midfield and wear them down.
Yes we can !

 

[Laudrup is God]

I’ll give you the one last week we’re he lost it at the half way line with it getting stuck under his feet but he did recover it is there any other examples you can think of?

Just don’t see this great player mate I think he is very Rash but as I said he isn’t a CB and that’s what does my head in Gio constantly playing players out of position

 

[RAFBob]

McCann talking about getting a strong tackle in straightaway, I like it, but this ref would show a yellow in a heartbeat.

 

[Polar bear]

All ready to enjoy the pre game show on RTV,
and Craig Moore appears.
Muted till game time.

 

[Chief Rafferty]

4-0 Rangers.

 

[KensingtonBlue]

Barisic starting is a worry

He was our weak link first leg

Other than that the lineup looks fine, we should win by a few

 

[Jjbscotty]

Barisic is only one that’s concerning for me.

3-1 Rangers to win in extra time.

 

[Kozzah Saidsoh]

All in balls out Rangers, let's do this tonight. WATP.

 

[pilgarlic]

I've just gone £100 to qualify.

 

[AriseSirWalter]

Interesting to see how we line up with that starting XI. No obvious sitter next to Lundstrum but no obvious right winger? Maybe Arfield or Lawrence take the hit and play on the right of a 433.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a 4141.

Sooner we get the new players settled and injured players back the better and we can start to bed in a formation/style of play.

I hope they show us the atmosphere after half 7 when thr PA systems are turned off

hey VB, As you know I'm a big fan of RTv, but I'm just getting a red rotating circle at the "watch live " stage...any thought/ I've NEVER had any issues before. I've cleared cache and cookies, and still feck all. Help!!!
Phew!!! Got it now, Must just be super busy. Thanks for all your input as usual

 

[BucksBear]

That is about an attacking lineup as it gets. its like a 2 1 4 3 when all the attack minded players are pushing on.

 

[WinkieWATP]

The whole lot of them were shocking last week. Singling out one is harsh.

 

[Michael Mols]

Can’t say he’s not going for it.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

This is season defining for us.

Overturn this and we'll go from strength to strength.

 

[Avalonpark]

Horrendous traffic on motorway

Can only guess its the volume of folk logging in at the same time mate.

The 'normal' solution would be logging out, clearing cache/cookies and trying again. You've done that, but it might be worth trying again.

As always, I was logged in ages ago and its playing away absolutely fine.

 

[Macky]

Other than Kent that starting lineup has no pace at all.

 

[Mark Corrigan]

 

[BigBuff]

I was thinking this earlier this could be a huge game for the squad

 

[Pioneer]

Cannot believe the overconfidence on here. We’ll be very lucky to score 3 without reply.

With that being said, intae them Rangers!

 

[Ambiorix]

Mine took a couple of mins to kick in.

Score, score and score again, Rangers. ! No let up tonight.

100% mate, nothing wrong whatsoever by just having a go at them - no regrets
