NeoGeo7 10,260 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 My preferred line-up if Jack and Coulibaly make it. Lots of energy, work rate but still with the pace with Kent and Candeias to cause problems on the break. I know people aren’t seeing much in starting Kent but his tracking back and his pace make him a very valuable asset in this type of game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Jack and Coulibally make it I have the utmost confidence in us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siamthedanger 2,830 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 They were very suspect in defence from the 1st leg so confident in getting at least one goal. Think we'll do enough to see it through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heshootshescores 1,904 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Doesnt seem so long ago that you would be very wary about what kind of referee we might get in a tie away from home like this. Fast forward a few years and now we are so grateful the ref isnt scottish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose_72 198 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 If Jack and Coulibaly make it I am confident we can progress. It is strange to have so much confidence in a Rangers defence again although the only worry is whoever comes in at left back. If it is Halliday, and I suspect it will be, then having Jack and Coulibaly will give him that extra protection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thern85 28 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Just noticed that both Maribor and Osjiek are league leaders. I think that highlights even more how well the squad has performed so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris182 6,186 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Based on how their CBs failed to deal with Alfie last week, I’m positive we’ll get at least one ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyBlue 16,958 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 It's going to be hard as fuck im thinking, head is saying 1-0 them or 1-1. But part of me is thinking there is absolutely no reason we cant go win 2-0, its strange to think but we aint a team of shite bags any more, we have a very strong mentality building, we can defend most importantly and we can actually play some football!

Don't let the fuckers put you off. As for the match.......I'm usually an optimist but I'm nervous tbh. We need Coulibaly to be fit for this one to have a decent chance of going through. They are a very good side and we need to be at our best to progress. Having said all that - I predict a 1-1 draw which will see us reach the 2nd round. Come on Rangers! Get intae this mob.

Shuggy 1,308 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I think we will score, but so will Maribor. We haven't conceded more than one goal in a game, so thinking 1-1 here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Would take a 1-0 defeat right now. It's all about getting through to the next round. If we do that then no one will worry about the score. Getting an away goal would be great but as long as we don't concede more than 1 goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misteral 2,930 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 We'd all be happy with a 1-1 and if we score first we might get that at the very least. Stating the obvious, the first goal will be crucial. Please let it be ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't want us to go one behind in the first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 30,449 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hopefully jack is fit for this because we can’t afford to let these cunts cut us open like that first half there. Our aim should be to get a goal and kill it off there and then. If we sit back and let them control the ball, the tempo and invite pressure on to us it’s just asking for trouble.

I can see us sitting off them for a bit in the first 20 mins, mate. I think our centre backs and midfield, assuming Coulibaly and Jack are fit, are strong enough to cope with it. Nervous as fuck for this though, not because I don't think we will do it, but just feels huge in terms of getting back to where we were. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very well and good doing that, but if they get an early goal it just gets their backs up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Will Follow Rangers 12,892 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Think we'll come out and get about them, press high at high tempo and try nick a goal and kill the tie early, thats the pattern we've seen with SG's Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but their tails will be up from kick off imo. I'd definitely rather go at them from the first minute, but that could end up a bigger risk of conceding.
