Bluedell 5,624 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 4 hours ago, ian1964 said: Rangers will have supporters in the ground for the Europa League clash with Young Boys on Thursday night. That's despite the club refusing to take any tickets as part of their attempts to clamp down on sectarian singing which occurred during qualifying rounds. Incidents against St Joseph's and Legia Warsaw led to sections of Ibrox being shut for games against the Polish side and Feyenoord. Rangers fans had already snapped up hospitality packages and three-game deals from Young Boys to ensure they could get into the Stade de Suisse stadium. But with only around 26,000 tickets sold for the 32,000-stadium, Young Boys are now directly selling tickets to Rangers fans already in Switzerland without any restrictions meaning Steven Gerrard's men will have some support. And it's believed they will offer the Rangers fans dotted around the stadium to go into a section they have created for them. A Young Boys spokesman said: "The mixing of fans is not a problem as long as everyone sticks to the rules. "We have estimated around 600 Rangers fans will be in the stadium tonight and we don't envisage any problems." https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rangers-fans-young-boys-clash-20393845 As exclusively revealed by me 3 weeks ago ?

Bluedell 5,624 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 7 hours ago, Frankie said: BSC Young Boys Tactically, they may well play two up front, including their target man Jean-Pierre Nsame (who equalised against Porto) and look to use their wide men to provide the ammunition for their strikers. On a positive for Rangers, they don't look quite as strong defensively so their artificial pitch may work in the favour of Morelos should we need to use the channels ourselves. I've heard that the play a narrow 4-4-2 and their width is supplied by the full backs. Could make for an interesting match-up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacK1950 2,376 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 In reply to my own post Helander had a total nightmare on plastic at Livi and Kamara has not played a decent game all season so IMO we are weakened. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,562 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Surprised he's recalled Helander in favour of Katic but not concerned either. Stewart doesn't have the engine to do the tracking back that will be required. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,693 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Well I think we can be guaranteed it will be nothing like the sheep and their reluctance to leave their own half or could I even say their own third of the field? Possession will likely be somewhat even we will find space and it's up to the team what they do with it. Need to play with a great degree of caution since a draw is an acceptable result and a far better result for us than for them. Taking something from this might be the key to a second place finish. We have taken something from around 91% of our European games under Gerrard so i'm encouraged into thinking that this is our stage and a stage Gerrard with his 130 appearances in Europe for Liverpool is super familiar with. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Nsame got a good chance he hit wide I would have expected one of ours to be getting on target if it came at the other end. But so far so good we're pretty much negating them while settling into the plastic surface. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
