hammer93 15,057 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The biggest compliment I can give this Rangers side in Europe nowadays is that winning 2-0 away from home to a Belgian side is no longer a shock....I think many in here would have been predicting before the game that we would come away with the 3pts It's hard to believe how far we have come in a couple of years at this level....whilst I fully appreciate we are not at champions league level we are more than comfortable at Europa level I remember Rangers went around 8 or 9 trips to Germany without scoring a goal before Fergie scored in Bochum against Russian opposition 😅😅 I actually expect us to score a minimum of one goal away from home nowadays Delighted with the 3pts tonight as the feel good factor rolls on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Spot on mate and we shouldn’t forget that. Few years back, who’d have thought we’d be routinely picking up European points with relative ease again. So proud of where we’ve come, so much still to do but certainly on the right track.

TMB 14,167 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I felt confident we would beat Willem ii. I felt confident we would beat Galatasaray. I felt confident we would beat Celtic. I felt confident we would win again tonight. Gerrard has done an incredible job with this team. We are unified as a team and everyone is behind the manager. The belief is back. Something special is happening at Rangers right now. Too early to say we'll win the title but it'll take some team to stop us the way we're playing.

doc holliday 1,653 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 We can more than hold our own with most middle ranking European clubs.Onwards and upwards with our continuous improvement which continues unabated.And the team spirit from ALL concerned.Who would not want to be part of that... one for all and all for one.

don logan 8,062 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 There were a couple of games away in the last two years that we drew but should have won. Young Boys being one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 We are a very good European outfit. I’ve said that a few times now and I stand by it 100%. Like @Rangers_no1 says above we have beat some Champions League calibre teams in the past few years and we have done it over a period of time now where it can no longer be considered a fluke.

bluenoz 30,824 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It is just a matter of time before the continent comes calling for our players.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 We’ve gotten results against a standard of team that we’ve struggled against in Europe before with much more expensive and experienced squads It comes down to domestic trophies ultimately and that’s where success will be measured but no denying Gerrard has shown a brilliant ability to make us competitive in Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vision 16,729 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It's a fantastic achievement the progression we've made in such a short time and the teams we've beat should have plaudits ringing out from all corners around Europe.

We should be asking big money and not just for Morelos. Kent, Kamara, Aribo, Barisic are all quality players. These European results will be getting noticed and I'm sure teams will come sniffing soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
