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

It didnt last week either it was audio only. Must be a UEFA rights issue.

We must make sure we don't concede an early goal and make it to half time with a clean sheet. If we concede early, I can see this Rangers team being beat comfortably by a Mourinho team. 

Three years ago, Dortmund scored twice before HT with Bellingham &Co running all over us. Had the first half lasted another 10 minutes, they could have been out of sight.

 

I thought we were done. Dortmund had eventually turned up and it was a matter of time.

 

But we didn't buckle, Gio tweaked a couple of things and we came back stronger.

I think we're getting pumped.

I think we heard that before recently.

 

If the score is 0-0 after ninety minutes I will be overjoyed.

 

If it’s 0-2 after twenty I will not be surprised.

I find this team utterly unpredicatble - bit ironic given whats under my username from bygone days.

 

I think ultimately we'll sneak through

It has become predictable that we turn up on Thursday nights.

 

There is a certain predictability about our inconsistency.

 

For me, what throws an added difficulty into predicting tonight, is Fenerbache and what version of them, turns up.

 

For them to go through, I think they have to get to Lyon levels from last Autumn. I doubt they will be capable of that. I don't think they have the pace.

 

Time will tell

I don't think it's a case of turning up or not. These games suit us because we can play direct, which is how PC wanted us to play. Domestically we rarely get the chance.

"Turning-up" has been fundamental to our European success. 

 

I don't disagree that the way these games are played tend to suit us but both factors are very much involved.

Who will we get in the quarter final?

I reckon it will be Bilbao and then Lyon in the semis. Would prefer Roma as we'll be in Bilbao for the final.
