The fact Fenerbahce have to come out and attack may be an advantage to hit on them on the counter so the team selection will be interesting to see if Barry pulls another trick out of the hat. 

 

The 3rd goal was massive in the first leg and deserved and thats what I think gets us through in the tie but we may still lose on the night by a goal.

A lot riding on this game.

 

Kudos/Prestige / feel good 

Becoming normal for Rangers to still be in European tournament football in March. Must encourage potential buyers.

 

Bragging rights 

We are behind our main rivals in most of today's metrics, both on and off field but whatever their bluster, they will be sick that we are still in Europe and they aren't. Especially, if we make the quarter finals.

 

Financial 

The 2.5M for reaching the quarter finals added to another bumper Ibrox attendance should help enormously with any current cashflow issues.

 

Co-efficient 

Scotland's numbers are not far from a place where the CL League phase becomes a lot more difficult to get to (tricky enough as it is). Co-eff points can be working materials for alchemy.

Our individual co-efficient is in a very good place, joint 26th place of all European clubs. We could jump 2 or 3 places tonight.

 

---------

 

Don't get Fenerbache.

They came into the tie, 18 games unbeaten and looked poor last week.

Their manager with all the hassle he has going on in Turkey is giving me the impression that he maybe working his ticket. 

 

Quietly confident that we will be in the quarter finals.

 

_----------_

 

Funny old game 

Could Barry Ferguson become the first ever manager to best Mourinho in two consecutive games ?

 

Ps. No idea if it has happened before.

I've just seen on Rangers TV that it does NOT include live video!
