*****Official Sparta Prague v Champions Match Thread*****

[BridgeIsBlue 66,606]

Thursday night 5.45pm kick off from the Generali Ceska pojistovna Arena live on BT Sports. 

Time to get our Europa League campaign up and running after a 2-0 home defeat to Lyon in the first game. 

[RFC55 108,840]

I think they'll beat us and quite comfortably 

[The Specky Forum Organiser 64,530]

McGregor

Tav Goldson Balogun Barisic

Lundstram Davis Kamara

Aribo Morelos Roofe

Expecting that team. 1-1.

[.Williamson. 82,177]

Under normal circumstances if we were playing to our full potential I would be hopeful of at least a draw in this game.

As it is I am going with 2-0 Sparta Prague

Unfortunately I think you are right. 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

After Dundee it is very difficult to be optimistic about the outcome of this game.

Prague are not a great side but I will be watching this one with fingers crossed from behind the sofa.

[G.E.C. 18,759]

If this was played a year ago I’d fancy us to win comfortably.

Bite your hand off for a 1-0 win.

[hawkfalcons 2,303]

Would take a draw to get us off the mark,

Think this will be the team as well, not convinced that Lundstram and Davis should  be on the same pitch but seems to be the preferred option just now.

Would be delighted with a scrappy, boring 1-0 win.

 

[Tiger Shaw 30,463]

We’re Rangers we want to win every match but with this seasons SPFL winner picking up the biggest prize win in history I’m finding myself not caring too much about this Europa campaign. Never thought I would ever say that but that’s how I feel. 

We need to be at our best to take anything from this match Sparta are more than capable of giving us a spanking if we don’t perform. 

[plymouthranger 3,872]

I think we’ll get a bit of a doing in all honesty

[sausagetrunks 6,022]

this is the game we could turn our season around, were more than capable of beating them. Hopefully we turn up and kickstart our season.  they will come out and attack and leave themselves wide open, we have the players to hurt them.

Hagi has to start for me. 

[jimbobgers 121]

The way we have started this season and how under par we have been, I’m not expecting a result at all!! 
last year I would be going into this brimming with confidence, this year so far I’m hoping we turn up, maybe kick us on but I have doubts 

Winning 55 was huge last year but as above has said, this year winning the league and getting the funds to upgrade and strengthen the team is a priority over everything else imo 

[BillySimpson 117]

Think we have lost to Czech opponents on all four occasions we have met them in knock out cups.

Dukla Praha, Sparta Praha , Slavia Praha and Victoria Zizkov.

[JackAlex93 11,250]

Id take a draw

Time for a change!

Kamara Davis Lundstram

If we defend anything like we did at the weekend we'll be battered. 

Hopefully a more solid performance and we can edge a win. 

[AGM_72 3,631]

Still feels like we're mentally struggling with the way we threw away the Malmo tie. Hopefully Thursday is the game we finally rid ourselves of that hangover. 

[Darth Bear 15,095]

Matchday threads 😂

Time for a performance and we apparently love it with no fans 👍

Kamara to slap cunts about for looking at him funny, Morelos to score a peach and a solid defense will do me 👍

[Amokachi 3,007]

A good competent showing with at least a draw, more importantly, no racist pish, injuries or covid issues. 

[Laudrup1984 25,100]

Looks like they've had a similar start to us. They did draw at home to Jablonec last week though.

It won't be easy but I think we'll be fine.

[born a blue nose 90,759]

Will take Spartak -3 in the hope we sneak a 1-0.
