Match Thread Manchester United vs Rangers

[Gribz 993]

Thought I would get this one going for the match on Thursday. 

 

First and foremost this is nothing like the Man Utd teams we have played in Europe in the past - they are a really poor with a system not suited to their players which the manager says he wont change.

 

If we apply the same approach as we did against Celtic and Tottenham then it could be there for the taking.

As said above this Manchester United aren’t the same team we faced before but then again neither is this Rangers team I think united will be to good in every department but we must not let this take our eye off the ball otherwise it could be a heavy defeat play to our best we can get a result play poorly like we all know do sometimes then we will get leathered .

Hate to be pessimistic but I don't see anything other than a defeat realistically. We do tend to punch above our weight in Europe but I just don't see it. Diallo Hojlund etc will have too much for us

I'd take a draw right now if offered.

I attended the Manchester United - Rangers challenge match at Old Trafford in March 1974.

 

We opened the scoring, I think John Greig swept the ball home? A half bottle of Lanliq has the effect of hallucinations on the seventeen year old mind and I mention this because I seem to remember big DJ and Derek Parlane both notched in the second half to see Rangers win 2-3.

 

I will take the same result on Thursday evening. I am positive we can do it if Geigy, Dj and, the King of Ibrox park are fit enough to play.

We will win.

 

This will be a famous victory.

United raise their game against the bigger clubs  -  witness Anfield and Emirates recently. I expect them to do the same on Thursday.

Aye, this outbreak of confidence among our support gives me the fear. Man Utd are having a poor season by their standards, but they've still got a hell of a squad, some genuinely world class players and they've shown recently they can compete with the very best when they concentrate. I'd take a draw right now without any hesitation.

Did the Lanny fuel you with enough courage to join in with the others invading the pitch to challenge the opposing fans to well, shake hands?

I once heard Lanliq described in a high court as bottled on a Monday drunk on the Tuesday and an evidence exhibit on the Wednesday
