*****Rangers v RB Leipzig Match Thread*****

[NitshillBear 1,461]

Really hoping the high 5s at the end of last week's game show that they think it's a done deal. I want us at their throats from minute one, but they're great at retaining possession. The fans are going to be crucial at knocking them off their stride early on.

Don't think I've ever looked forward to or been more excited for a game at Ibrox, next few days are going to drag in.

[Jelavic18 626]

I'd consider going 3 at the back with Tav/Barasic playing as wingbacks and bombing forward, that's what they do anyway but will still give us cover through the center.  Their players are fast and can hurt us on the counter if we leave ourselves exposed.  Obviously all down to personnel we have available.

 

                      McGregor

        Goldson Balagun Bassey

Tav                                               Barisic    
   
         Jack                 Lundstrum
                 

Aribo/Sakala.                          Kent                                          
                         Roofe

 

Or

 

Tav   Goldson  Balagun   Bassey
    
           Jack   Lundstrum

Aribo     Davis/Ramsey       Kent

              Roofe/Sakala

I can see this going to extra time so I wouldn't start either Roofe or Ramsey. We did ok yesterday without them, and I dont see either of them lasting the 120 after an injury so I would bring them on around 60/65 mins.

Still time to influence the game, and we'd have them for the ET and pens.

It could be over by then. Start the strongest team.

We’ve in the last 3 to 4 weeks been fucking incredible.

braga at home was a fucking amazing performance from the first to the 120th minute 

We have been excellent. Really starting to find our feet under Gio now.

Lets hope we are about to peak and get ourselves to a final.

Getting to the final would be the greatest achievement since last time. Last season pales in comparison. That's how monumental it would be

I kind of agree. The problem with Roofe is it takes him ages to get back up to speed. I think I would lean toward the mercurial Sakala.

Whoever it is, we need goals.

It has to be Sakala through the middle of Roofe doesn’t make it .

Thursday was poor .For me it was the lack of striker that was the blame .It’s not just goals a striker provides .Their movement allows the team to attack a lot better than if we have a midfielder like Aribo there .

Yesterday showed that ,Sakalas run after he laid off to Kent was as much part of the goal as the finish .

Not sure Roofe will like Sakala going through the middle of him. He might of course, but I don't think so.

Leipzig are playing tonight and going full strength as they are determined to get a Champions League spot through the league.

Hopefully that will play into our favour with an extra days rest and not having to travel.

Might watch this. Hopefully they concede straight away and chase the game for 90 mins.

Hopefully Mönchengladbach will opt for 

[GA1972 9,656]

Thursday can’t come quick enough, that roar when the players come out the tunnel I cant wait for it 

[BillyG91 5,545]

every single person inside ibrox needs to be on their back as soon as they walk out. make them uncomfortable and intimidated. the players will do it but we need to be 100% behind them every second. 

[ayro 3,024]

Monumental game for the players to nail a place in the history of the club, hope they can embrace it and enjoy the game as that will help to deliver the performance and result required as RBL are a good team.

Proud of them no matter the outcome but feel we can do this.

 you called the Braga game meaningless, dont start pretending that you're bothered because we might win the thing.

[the old guard 2,323]

Bassey at left back for me, barisic gives me the fear.

Why? In case a Rangers supporter on a Rangers forum didn't know Rangers have a good home record in Europe? 

Wow, what an incredibly angry response

Tav pen after 5 minutes will do nicely

Looks like I have them as fellow hotel guests. Any requests on who needs a firm sliding tackle in reception? 😂

I’m surprised they are playing tonight.

Should do a Dynamo Dresden and give them some bull’s heads to play with

Or a slide tackle mate that’ll do
