We have Won 3, Drawn 4 and Lost 7 Goals For 11, Against 20 When you consider that two of those three victories came against Leeds in 92 and the other was in 1961, it is a shocking record. In the CL group stage, we have played Manchester United twice and kept the wrong kind of zero in all 4 matches. So, all this talk that the Battle of Britain effect levels the playing field,......at club level, the results don't really back it up. That solitary competitive victory on English soil against Leeds can be increased to three*, if counting two play off victories at Highbury against Sparta Rotterdam (1960) and Red Star Belgrade (1964). *Not including any FA Cup away wins in 19th century. We have actually played English opposition competitively 24 times if you discount the early FA cup ties. Including Coronation Cup, Texaco Cup, Tennent Caledonian Cup and Anglo Scottish Cup. The overall picture is no better though. P24 W6 D5 L13 Slight improvement including the FA cup P28 W9 D5 L14 Edited October 4, 2022 by gaspard 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, fairly similar...for every win, we'll lose two. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSocksRedTops 3,809 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Not holding out for much but regardless of the score I hope the levels of commitment are equal to that of the Napoli game and not the Ajax game. Liverpool's defence is all over the place so hopefully a few good diagonal balls from Davies and Goldson into the full back areas for Kent and A. Nother to exploit. You never know...😃 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 8,385 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Can't see anything other than another heavy defeat tonight. Out of our depth at this level and miles behind clubs like Liverpool (financially and experience). Hope I am wrong but all I am hoping for is a spirited Rangers performance and not a rerun for Ajax performance- anything else will be a bonus. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 4,422 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Changed my mind. I'm looking forward to the complaints about team selection. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
