Danny 9 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hope so, Danny, but God in Heaven how many times has overconfidence come back to bite Scottish fans in the arse? Take nothing for granted - EVER - or have we learned nowt from Ally MacLeod's World Cup debacle those many years ago? Let's just keep our mouths tightly clamped and treat this team with respect, but still come out with all guns blazing.I am treating this team with respect. I treat any opponent with respect from Chelsea to Chelsea Pensioners FC.The point is we'd be unspeakably gutted with anything other than a good win, and that gives you some idea of the vast superiority we have over this team.Anything less than a good win just isn't acceptable, and I guarantee you if that happens, everyone will come on here saying that all the hope is gone, we're crap, everything's dreadful and Celtic will win the SPL easily etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zander222 0 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Just realised something about Zeta, I thought they played in the Serbian League and finished 1st ahead of the likes of Partizan, but they play in a crappy Montenegran league which is completely different and of a much poorer quality. I though Serbia and Montenegro where of the same country but hey.What sort of attendance can we be expecting the morra? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzGers 425 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 quite frankly we need to be wary of the threat that this team poses. Whilst i appreciate that rangers SHOULD have the class to completely overpower their opponents, one thing this outfit have is nothing to lose. They literally are playing the game of their lives, and they will leave everything out on the pitch, so rangers need to match their hunger and desire with gusto and then let their superior skill do the talking. Whichever way you see it, it should make for a very free flowing open match with plenty of goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafloppyone 0 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 3-0 easy not because we dont know who they are but we beat their league leaders easy with the worst team in our history a short time back and this team should be no different Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadaready 9,437 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Let's just overwhelm them everywhere on the field. It is possible I think to just run the life out of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmccallsfall 4 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 The problem last season was a lack of fight and we have that back now in abundance. CL qualifiers are never easy and it will be intersting to hear the crowd tomorrow night, this is no Chelsea after all. And if after 20 minutes we are 0-0 and seem to be struggling, well we all know what may happen.We definately have the players to beat this team hands down tomorrow night. I wont be surprised if Boyd doesnt start. We look fit and up for it, this is important. We wont underestimate them and if we play half as good against them as we did against Chelsea I think wel storm it 4-0. Or is this just hope ?

I though Serbia and Montenegro where of the same country but hey.No, Red Star Belgrade are Serbian champs. This Zeta side are absolute backwater pub team standard in comparison who are champions of a pathetic league in Montenegro - they're barely any better than a Scottish junior team if that good indeed. A convincing victory is a bloody minimum.What sort of attendance can we be expecting the morra?FH I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A convincing victory is a bloody minimum.even so... they are here for a reason. They dont let junior teams into the CL. they may well be rank rotten but they are there on merit, we have to respect that, and treat this game as we would a CL group stage game.I dont know why..but i have a bad feeling in my gut..

Davy 68 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 There is a fine line between treating a team with respect and defending.Thats why I say we got all out attack and finish these mugs in the first leg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ARE a better side than them by a mammoth distance, but this is a potential banana skin as its so early in the season and we have signed a lot of players who need to gel.

Stuart_RFC 41 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 i know..iv just seen it all go horribly wrong too many times.

Muff 245 Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Is Watty thinking about going 4-2-3-1? He says on the Rangers website that Thomson is a doubt but he will be given time to see if he is fine. He wont drop Ferguson and Hemdani will start.

He wont drop Ferguson and Hemdani will start.Who would play "in the hole," if we went with that formation though ?With Thomson a doubt, I would think we will go with a 4-4-2, with Hemdani and Fergie in the middle.

Stuart_RFC 41 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 i firmly believe the team that started v chelsea will start this match------------McGregor-----------Hutton--Cuellar--Weir--Papac--McCulloch-Hemdani-Ferguson-Adam-----------Boyd----JCDI hope dont, the lack of drive and creativity is shocking in that team which may lead us into a frustrating evening.IMO...the team should be...IF Thomson is fit....---------------McGregor----------------Hutton---Weir-----Cuellar----Murray-----------------Thomson------------------McCulloch--Ferguson---Beasley----------------JCD-----------------------------------------Boyd-------------It wont be like that though unfortunatly in my eyes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 68 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I think Novo has all but demanded a starting place after the Chelsea game, so I think he will start on the right, with McCulloch on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
