Perth_Campsie_Ger 18,108 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I seen a poster saying that this Croatian lad was at the stadium last night having a tour. The team we are signing him from only played at Ibrox last month which would make you believe if the poster was correct we don't give teams a look around the stadium? In recent years whenever I speak to someone foreign about football as soon as I mention Rangers they usually mention the issues we have had over the last few years which is what a lot of them sadly will now associate us with. Clubs will visit us believing they can beat us as we are still recovering so why not show them around in a mini tour emphasizing the history, the trophy room etc and use it to our advantage so they go on the pitch with it already in their head that we are the most successful club in the world rather than thinking we are there for the taking Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a jolly or a full tour, a quick show around could easily be fitted in as they are being shown to the changing rooms. Do they not get to train on the pitch the day before?

Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 What a mental thing to say. Do you think Maribor players give the slightest fuck about what the inner sanctum of Ibrox looks like? I’m sure they’d much rather be feet up in their five star hotel sleeping or ripping the head off it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree tbh, if a team that plays in a shitty stadium in eastern Europe turns up I think they would be pretty impressed when they turned up at Ibrox. I have heard from someone that played at Ibrox that when his team turned up they were treated to way better hospitality than they had ever experienced at any other club. That hospitality the day before coupled with a mini tour/ walk around wouldn't be out of place Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 54,366 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I actually think there is some merit in this. Perhaps not a tour, but the away dressing room covered in photo / wall art of our players lifting trophies, trophy cabinets, fans in Manchester etc. Yeah, could see some of that working.

Darrenmt7 664 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Away teams are not coming to Ibrox to be best pals and get tours of the stadium, They are coming to try and put us out of the competition, Pretty sure a tour is the last thing on their minds.

16BlueSherbert90 19,291 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I get what you are saying, but they will find out when we do our talking on the pitch. Let them think what they want and Rangers will show them who they are now - minus the tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEwan's Lager 30,895 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Do away European teams still have a light training session on the pitch the day before the game? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie 12,905 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Surely it would psych them out more if seeing Ibrox for first time just before game. They might be smaller clubs in stature but I do believe some of these countries might have TVs or even the internet so will not be that overawed at Ibrox.

With Heart and Hand 8,951 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 id prefer we just played well enough to beat them but maybe we should give them a stadium tour, and let them watch our training sessions and give them a copy of our team sheet before the game to show we aint scared of nothin Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebestest 2,148 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Might intimidate some, might gee some others up. I'd rather they assumed we were minnows and underestimated the job of beating us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
