*****The Official Rangers v Standard Liege Thread*****

[G.E.C. 11,285]

BT Sport 3, kick off at 8. Win and we’re through, can also progress with a draw as long as Benfica don’t lose.

If Jack and Aribo aren’t fit same team as last week.

[LochendBilly 6,199]

2-0 Rangers

[6superbarry6 8,660]

Same team as last time, let’s get 2 wins and top the group, think topping the group is important given who we could avoid in last 32 

 

[badjon 6,887]

Just get the job done, no injuries, no Covid exposure, move on.

[TopCat 4,348]

Fancy us for another 2-0 win.....think we can go on and win this group with back to back wins in our last 2 games tbh which would be fantastic.

[Amokachi 1,048]

Think it would’ve been generally accepted that out of the six games we’d have a wobble/upset in one.  

However the way it’s looking we should be finishing with pass marks from six outta six.

I actually thought Poznan were tougher than Liege so important to do this this week. I am not as confident as others on here that we can get a result in Poland if the pressure is on.

That’s the Liege facing injury crisis stories just being released now.  

[bluenoz 16,649]

Would prefer Jack but Davis & Zungu are like for like replacements. I really hope Aribo is fit for this.

[graeme_4 13,378]

Got to expect

McGregor

Tav Goldson Balogun Barisic 

Arfield Davis Kamara

Roofe Morelos Kent 

 

Not sure the situation on Aribo or Jack. Could see either of those play if fit. 

[Boybluesy 1,550]

Thought Zungu looked good last night.  Is he in the Europa squad ?

[King Jela 12,947]

Be a hard game. Don't actually remember Standard creating too much over in Belgium but I'm sure on their day they can raise their game and they will. Its up to us, actually wondering though if last week has done some damage on us going into this. 

[bluenoz 16,649]

Standard tied Anderlecht 0-0 away from home yesterday.

[TMB 14,166]

I’d take a draw right now.  Just get the point and qualify for the next round.  Job done.  Field a reserve team for the final match against Poznań at Ibrox.

Final game is in Poland.

We need to be looking to win the group and get easier tie on next round 

[GersInCanada 5,078]

If both us and Benfica win on Thursday (and both should) then the other 2 are out.

In that case it's a meaningless fixture for the Poles.

Winning the group doesn’t guarantee an easier tie.  It’s just luck of the draw in all honesty.

mostly meaningless but there's still £515,000 up for grabs. Defo not a ton but could buy 10 Kamara's for that amount

It’s not really, we’ll avoid group winners and seeded champions league drop outs, that extra round could be important for the co efficient as well with Ukraine so close behind us.

Tell you what, I'm all over the place at the moment - trying not to get ahead of myself and take it one game at a time, but every game which comes round the corner feels huge. Thursday is no exception.

I don't think it'll be easy, they had a few chances at their place and played some neat stuff, we'll need to be right at it to secure our place in the last 32. 

McGregor

Tav Goldson Balogun Barisic

Kamara Davis Arfield

I am the same as you.......

[SIRB_72 1,905]

Should qualify this time. Especially when you take into account we're a combo of Liverpool of the last 2 years and the Man Utd team from about 07-09 with Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez up front...well a Scottish version!

If we won the group last season we'd have played Leverkusen.
