***** The Official Rangers vs Slavia Praha Match Thread *****

[Jamie0202 12,272]

We were talking at work yesterday and that's almost the line-up we predicted. The only difference being Balogun for Helander. I'm glad Aribo gets the nod in front of Hagi. I like Hagi but last week it was a completely different Aribo in each half. In the second half when moved further forward I thought he was unplayable, dancing by players for fun with those quick feet of his. The only negative was his effort at goal from the right hand side when he should have placed it in to the far corner.

Hagi isn't a bad sub to have come on though as are a few others on the bench.

And both will be in the draw tomorrow. First legs have fucked Zagreb and Olympiakos.

[BuffaloUSAGers 1,232]

Shaktar going out. Excellent start to the night.

[bluenoz 30,832]

Roma & Granada in the draw.

[Inigo 32,526]

Shouldn't be that much of a surprise seeing as he's always used Balogun and Helander in horses for courses fashion.

Clearly they've seen something that means they needed Helander away and Balogun at home. Presumably defending the box v defending pacey breaks.

Confirmed starting 11

McGregor

Patterson Goldson Balogun Barisic

Davis Kamara Arfield

Aribo Morelos Kent 

Looks a defensive set up to me, would have went with Roofe for Aribo and Helander for Balogun.

Baraisic needs to be on it tonight because Helander covered him a lot last week.

Morelos playing lone striker?, hope I'm wrong and Stevie's got the tactic's spot on.

Sound, nice one

Fuck me the 55 banner is stunning to look at. Seeing that word Champions around Ibrox or in relation to Rangers is a novelty that won't ever wear off

BT Sport 3 mate.

[CoplandRoad83 3,251]

Thinking about the team more.

They target diagonals and full back areas a lot. Maybe the thought is Baloguns mobility and pace can help cover those areas as well.

[GlasgowRangers1983 461]

Watching Molde V Granada very open game and would fancy our chances against both. Big night tonight major accomplishment if we get to the last 8

[bluenoz 30,832]

Spurs going out would be nice.

[strar8 55]

Any decent coughs?

If we get through tonight and got one of them we’d get to the Semis, I really think we’d get through comfortably

Zagreb are a very good side, completely dominating Spurs.

They’ve got an absolutely flying left winger, wouldn’t want him running at our defence
