Match Thread Eintracht Frankfurt v Rangers - 20:00 Wednesday - BT Sport

[PunkScott]

Wife woke up the bairn blasting Belinda Carlisle this morning. He has the tunes on to make him eat breakfast faster.

I’ve decided to do a 10-4 shift cos work is shit and I have flexi.

Then it’s me, my boy, Dad and Uncle heading to the club to watch us make history.

Enjoy your day lads and lasses

 

[networker]

I honestly can't see us scoring against Frankfurt. The have a very strong back line and I think the best we can hope for is ET then pens.

Lets face it, our biggest 'achilles heel' is McGregor who seems never to come off his line.

I so, so so hope I'm very wrong in my prediction though and all this build up has my nerves shattered !!!

God Bless The Queens Eleven!

Sitting at work clock watching. Can't concentrate on anything. Roll on 6 o clock to get a pint and settled in the pub to watch our Rangers lift the Europa Cup. Come on Rangers

Frankfurt have kept 2 clean sheets in 12 Euro games and have their first choice CB out

They gift teams chances by playing a high defensive line

I think we will score

There is logic to what you say….but this Rangers team continue to surprise us. There will be goals at both ends tonight.

after your comments about Gio in April, among some of your other negative posts, I'll ignore your rantings. In case anyone hasnt seen it


GvB does not have enough ubiquity and seems a man out of ideas at times.

Look at the number of goals Frankfurt have conceded this season, I'd be very surprised if they kept a clean sheet tonight.

 

[GTshaker1903]

Good Luck tonight GERS
Relax
Enjoy
Celebrate your victory
It will be awesome

We scored 3 against Leipzig without a striker. We’ll have a striker tonight on the bench at least.

 

[Partickger]

In 2008 it was hope over expectation but this time expectation is through the roof.

We can do it but the players need to handle the pressure and I think they will.

 

[Blue Velvet]

Hoping for a 1-0 and Lundstrum to control the game.

A wee story to compare - take it or leave it.

In 1992 I saw Hamilton Accies in their first cup final of my lifetime, of any note - albeit it was only the Challenge Cup, then called the B&Q Cup, in only its second year.

A few of us hit the pubs in Motherwell, before the final at Fir Park. One of our group, not an Accies fan, just a sympathiser, couldn’t work out the anxiety in the atmosphere among us. Then it dawned on him: “you think you’re going to win!”

And we did. I recall the tense, nervous excitement. It was born of a belief that we had a genuine chance of winning, but the flip side that we were scared of losing. That’s my sense of where Rangers fans are now - believing you can win, scared you could lose.

Accies beat Ayr 1-0 and lifted the trophy.

 

[TheMandalorian]

We can….and we will. Play up the Glasgow Rangers.

Hit the nail on the head.

Nerves starting to go this morning though. Battle fever is on. Just want the team to give it all, what will be will be.

 

[Cappy Bert]

Gents.... Think about this.... 150th anniversary of the club. 5th European final for us. 50 years since our last triumph. Lots of 5s in there. But perhaps most importantly... How many years since that mob across the city won their European trophy?... Aye... That's right..... FIFTY FUCKING FIVE!!!!!

lol away you go. Go watch highlights of their last few games and their defence has been all over the place, plus they are missing their main defender. Try harder.

We also have the top scorer in the competition.

A Frankfurt team that have conceded 12 more goals than RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga this season.

McGregor is still one of the best shot-stoppers in the game. His weakness is from crosses and they should try and exploit that but hopefully Tav and Borna will keep their wide players on the defensive for the majority of the match.

I get it, we're all nervous but this is a 50/50. We're in good form, our players and management are confident and we've beaten better teams than Frankfurt on our way to the final. It'll be tough but we're more than capable of winning this.

Might be best not to watch then, just log in for final score

 

[Main Stand]

I must say, Seville seem to be doing pretty well with the influx of people.

 

[CoplandKeklord]

Whatever happens, this team will give us everything. There's no question of hunger or desire or any of that. The teams are fairly closely matched - I think we're just a bit better - so it'll come down to whoever wants it more.

I think we will want it more.

Mate they're a good team but given their record, scoring goals against them isn't the issue, it's about keeping them out. Pull yourself together

They're literally missing their first choice CB though

 

[Johnny Yen]

How confident would we be if Morelos was fit and playing?

Of course we still have an unbelievable chance, if the wee man was in the lineup I would fancy us strongly though.

 

[Mad John]

'mon the Rangers

 

[tscotsman]

I’m hoping all the players play at their highest level and wont let this chance pass them by. Hoping that Kent is on fire and terrorises their defence, with there main CB out we will have chances, we have to take them just like against Leipzig.

 

[Sasa-]

I feel sick, but I believe we're doing this. Come on the Rangers!

Accies beat Ayr 1-0 and lifted the trophy.

Remember it. Was there behind the goals, a Colin Harris free kick?

What a weak mentality you have, go sink a can and try enjoy the day.

 

[Nikau's Mullet]

My local radio station played the Belinda Carlyle song at 11.50 this morning.

Is that the time in minutes of a Lundstram thunderbolt goal tonight??

 

[giogaddi]

I'm trying really hard not to get on the bevvy already

 

[Ubik]

I'm trying really hard not to get on the bevvy already

im off to take a walk round Ibrox, one full walk round the stadium, have a look at our bricks and home. Then pace around the house.

Shooting into the away end. I had a side-on view, in the stand opposite the main stand. I don’t remember it as well as I’d like to - as mentioned, drink had been consumed.

 

[FriendsDontLie]

I'm trying really hard not to get on the bevvy already

I’m the same

Wife keeps reminding me of Manchester and the lack of memory I have from it.

She is also convinced we are winning and therefore I would regret doing so.

Think I’ll cave about 2

Relax ya banger

 

[linthousebear1981]

I believe we can score tonight, they have conceded a lot of goals domestically and they have conceded in a lot games in the Europa League. We just need to be strong defensively and concentrated, if we do that then we win tonight.

The thing that gives me a bit of confidence for tonight is the confidence of the players and how relaxed they looked yesterday.

Then that confidence starts to worry me and I panic and think I am getting over confident. Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhhh.

 

[Maxgers]

Go go Glasgow Rangers!

 

[Realger34]

4-2 Rangers

Tav, Aribo, Goldson and Kent there you

go.

1000/1 with sky bet.

That’s just silly mate, no way they will score two!

And remember that if you've fixed your start time as 8 am then you can use assumed consent to finish early.
