accies1874 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 This game pretty much rests on the wee adjustments needed in acknowledgment that this is neither a 2 leg affair, nor is the game at Ibrox. That, plus nerves. If Gio doesn't f**k up the gameplan/nerves don't cripple the players then I think we will see a fairly comfortable, if close, Rangers win. Can never rule out a managerial brainfart in a final though where they second guess themselves and change what has been working. Yeah it'll be interesting seeing Rangers away from Ibrox in a one-legged affair. The atmosphere and occasion alone somehow managed to be good for one early goal in those home games, whereas all but Dortmund were pretty poor away performances. It's really hard to compare, though, considering they either knew they could keep it tight before going back to Ibrox or had already done the business there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Quote SEVILLE (Reuters) – Spain’s chief of police warned of the potential for ‘serious problems’ as the southern city of Seville braces for an expected invasion of 150,000 Rangers and Eintracht Frankfurt for Wednesday’s Europa League final. “It’s too many people with too much alcohol, the majority without tickets for the game and lots of construction sites around the city, a recipe that could lead to serious problems,” Juan Carlos Castro Estevez, Spain’s General Commissioner for Citizen Security, said at a briefing with high-ranking National Police officers on Tuesday. He said 100,000 Rangers fans were expected with 50,000 from Frankfurt as the two clubs battle for the title that will qualify them for next season’s Champions League. While warning that the policing operation will be one of the most “difficult challenges they have ever had,” he said he was confident the showpiece could pass off without major problems. “We are trying to do everything right and we have a lot of experience with situations like this, although that does not mean that there will be no problems,” he said. “We will host two fanbases that drink a lot. These citizens, who are used to drink warm beer in their countries, when they find our fresh and cold beers, will drink even more. “But we sincerely believe that we have sufficient and prepared units to counteract the problems.” While all roads lead to Seville for the fans, Castro said he was not quite sure how they would all arrive. “All the trains from Madrid and Malaga are sold out and we are expecting a massive arrival of charter flights to Seville, Mallorca, Canary Islands, Malaga, Jerez and Faro where we believe around 30,000 Rangers fans will stay, coming to Seville by buses on Wednesday,” he said. “But we can’t know for sure how many will arrive by car, buses and boats. Eintracht only had 5,000 tickets to their quarter-final at Barcelona and 30,000 showed up somehow at Camp Nou.” The two clubs have only been allocated 10,000 tickets each for the final at the 42,000 capacity Pizjuan Stadium. Rangers are playing in their first European final since the 2008 Europa League when they lost to Zenit St Petersburg in Manchester — an occasion marred by crowd violence. The Scottish club have not won any European silverware for 50 years while Eintracht Frankfurt are bidding to end their 42-year wait for European glory, having won the UEFA Cup in 1980. Spanish authorities have deployed 3,100 National Police officers to Seville where three fanzones are being prepared. Almost 2,000 Guardia Civil and local police will be deployed in the city. Castro said construction sites around the city were being “protected” so that fans cannot use rubble as weapons. “There is no rivalry (between Rangers and Frankfurt), but it is concerning that the political ideology from the two fanbases are different, Eintracht being from the left and Rangers more to the right. The extremists from both sides could cause serious trouble.” To minimise the risk of confrontations the two sets of fans will be kept in separate areas, 5.5km apart, before kickoff.

Salt n Vinegar Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Anyway, a cheeky wee malt would be a welcome alternative. Given some of the ages of fans in some videos I've seen, a lager frenzy wil mean they'll spend most of the game in the lavvy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German and Spanish beer is approx 25% stronger on average than Scottish beer, has he factored that in? I'll bet the Rangers fans haven't.

I saw a video earlier on where Keith Downie from Sky was interviewing folk outside the stadium. The only fan who had a ticket was a young lad with tartan eyes, still absolutely blazin'. Another morning/afternoon on the bevvy will see him snoozing come teatime 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
