Derry Alli Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Kent has played well in almost every Old Firm game he's played in - including scoring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 You'd maybe think the nonsense over the previous couple of weeks about Kent not having made a single assist in a year (or whatever it was) has almost a Traynor-esque feel of briefing against our own player to illicit a response. I do not recall where the initial story originated but I cannot imagine even the most obsessed would be able to quote such detailed stats and then develop it into a running story in the media. Genius or tinfoil-hattery, you decide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius or tinfoil-hattery, you decide. Never underestimate the commitment of your average Sevco Da. They spent yesterday evening howling at Uefa's twitter account because they posted an innocuous "Rangers through to last 16 for the first time since 2011" tweet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having only watched around an hour of the first game I would never have tipped that as a final result for the tie. Ryan Kent, is he the opposite of Morelos? Shite 9 times out of 10 but has a knack of scoring in big games, where Morelos seems to do it against the diddies but struggles in the important ones? Morelos scored in more or less every important Europa League game. Winner against Legia Warsaw in the Playoff Round, equaliser away to Porto, first goal at home to Porto, two goals away to Feyenoord, goal at home to Young Boys. but apart from that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Keeping a clean sheet over there is some going. Braga were always going to concede again, because Rangers took advantage of their obvious failings incredibly well, and probably should have won by more, but to keep them at bay was a tall order. And to be honest, I didn't think Braga ever looked like getting back into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastecoatwilly Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 The only conclusion is the Scottish top flight is better than we all think, the league gets the blame when we don't do well in Europe. The predictability of sevco in the league gives St Johnstone, Killie and the tarts an advantage by playing them 3 or 4 times a season. It's easy for teams like Braga to contain than create,the high line was suicide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy for teams like Braga to contain than create,the high line was suicide.I said this in the group stages. Whilst lastnight was obviously a very good result for the ****, I'm not having it as some sort of seismic shock. That's only for people who want to be dismissive of the Scottish game. Rangers and Celtic are in a funny sort of tier of European football. Cant quite put my finger on how you would describe it but there are loads of traditionally big teams who cant rely on Champions League coin, eg this season Lazio and Feyenoord who I expect Rangers and Celtic to have a good go at. Suspect these teams approaching Scottish football with a certain arrogance doesnt help their cause.FWIW, in Europe the only time I will root for either cheek is if they come up against an EPL side. Would love to see one of them bodying Arsenal or Man U. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish teams always seem to do well against english teams so for me it would be a good draw for any scottish club. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? They topped their group, scudded wolves and under their new manager hadnt lost a game while beating some of the bigger teams in Portugal Granted we could have had a harder draw, but saying we should be beating braga is a bit of a stretch, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comfortably is a bit off, they probably deserved the win in porto, and at ibrox they were comfy until an injury to pepe forced him off and their backline changed from a 3 to a 4 meaning morelos had more space with only 2 centre halves to deal with Still though, saying a group runner up should be beating a group topper imo is still a stretch, but thats just my opinon, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Question for @craigkillie perhaps. If they win in Last 16 to reach QFs then Rangers will play 20 European games. Bordeaux did so going from Intertoto to UC Final in 1995-96. Is it a record? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
