JM1872 3,776 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 How is everybody feeling in the build up to, what is undoubtedly, our biggest match of the season so far? I'm optimistic, far more than what I was after the game last week or even after the Hearts game.I think tomorrow we'll be sharper and raring to go. The players know what has to be done and should have the belief they can do it.We could see how shaky their defence was in the second half as we began to press. Hopefully we can get the balance right between attack and defence as we were often left short for numbers at the back when going forward. Gaping holes in midfield were clear to see, no thanks to the holding midfielder that is Lee McCulloch - posted missing.A solid performance and scoreline tomorrow could kick start our season in terms of on the field and in the transfer market. It's not hard to see we will need to strengthen considerably before the play-offs as Rosenberg, Partizan Belgrade, APOEL Nicosia, Wisla Krakow and Strum Graz will all provide stern opposition.However, tomorrow I'm quietly confident that we will make it through. The team has plenty of experience in Europe considering it is largely the same team who made it to the UEFA Cup Final etc.Come on Rangers - make us proud Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogbg 20 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Not sure. Malmo looked a decent team, we don't have any fans, and we've never managed it before apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 i don't know why, given i can pretty much guess his team pick, but i feel confident. I'm hoping ally goes balls to the wall and just goes on the attack from the off, if he does i believe we can sink this shower of cunts 2 nil.

Gers score early, look good for a spell, then Malmo score what looks like the killer. Gers wrap things up very late in the day. Season kickstarted!

Nicolas Cage 31 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'm pretty confident. Don't know why though as our recent European record is abysmal. If Ally plays players in their right positions and plays a normal formation we should go through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gas Man 190 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Malmo 1-3 Rangers. We shouldn't fear them or fear losing a goal as I'm sure we'll score a couple of our own. Jelavic is going to score Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gut feelin says we fly out the traps and killed the tie by half timeI agree. I think we will score a few early goals and finish the tie off in the 1st half. 4-0 with Jelavic getting 2 and Davis, Naismith each getting 1.

JCS 649 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I wish I was as optimistic as some of you but, I'm afraid I'm not. Haven't seen anything from our team yet that leads me to believe we can overturn the deficit and progress, particularly (AS SOME HAVE ALREADY SAID) if we play Edu and McCulloch. I shall be very happy if I'm wrong though! I'll be shouting and yelling at the TV...or in this case the computer screen...as always! Hope there's a better stream than for the Ibrox tie.

blueben_d 40 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 We were terrible in the first leg, and they had their best game of the season. We outclass them easily. If the players turn up this time I dont see us having too many problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
