Would be wonderful to get off to a good start in this group. Hopefully another memorable European night at Ibrox.

This will be a very tough challenge. If we take 3 points we will have done very well. Hopefully we can start to recapture last seasons form and get the campaign off to a flyer.

Huge bonus to have Goldson back.
Barisic or Bassey probably the biggest call. Barisic for me.

Tight game this.
Head 1-1.
Heart 2-0 us.
I’d give Borna the nod tomorrow, as well as Bassey has played all season.

No easy games at this level, but home advantage, battle fever from the crowd, and the gaffer’s European pedigree = a 2-1 win

Strange one this as I think this is a bit of a free hit.
I'd be more concerned about recent form / injuries if this was Brondby or Sparta Prague tomorrow night.
We expect Lyon to win the group but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be aiming for a win tomorrow night.

Best team we’ve played since Leverkusen I reckon. Maybe even better than them. Though, like us, they’ve had a ‘slow’ start to their season.
Tough night ahead I think.

I think we might hit them on the counter with pace tomorrow night.
Kent Roofe and Morelos haven’t been great together the past few games either tbh.

Lyon were champions league semi finalists the season before last, knocking out Manchester City. How many of that team are still at the club?
Huge test for us if we were at full strength and playing well, and neither of them are the case.
This is the level of opposition in the past where Gerrard would have played all 3 of Davis, Kamara and Jack in the middle and look to dominate the ball. I wonder if he would play both Aribo and Roofe in a game like this, making me think he might go with
McGregor
Tavernier
Goldson
Balogun
Barisic
Davis
Kamara
Lundstram or Arfield
Aribo or Roofe

Arguably the best team we will have played under Gerrard.
Is there any question over the goalkeeping choice?

Perhaps the most crucial game of the 6. If we win, the campaign takes off like a rocket, if we lose its going pear shaped before its gone anywhere.
I believe Rangers have a good chance of winning despite being underdogs.

If we take the lead tomorrow, Ibrox will go completely mental.

Given our form I think this might be a bridge too far. Hope I'm wrong.
1-0 or 2-1

2-0 Lyon. Call me mr. Negativity all you like. Being realistic. We are just coping domestically and not really out the bit. No way will we get a result from this match.
The 2 keepers in the Euro squad are McGregor and McCrorie.
No chance it won't be Shagger.

We were very solid against St. Johnstone, and retained our shape throughout, which we have been doing as the season has gone on, as we find our feet; we will will need to keep this very strong aspect of game continuing if we're to have any chance of getting anything tomorrow night. We also need to take our chances when they come, and hopefully we play on the front foot as well; our success in Europe has come about when we've done that, whilst being disciplined in our shape.

Think we need to go for pace against Lyon and catch on the counter. Would play Roofe against Prague and brondby when we will see more of the ball
McClaughlin is in the squad, but yeah McGregor will play.
My mistake, for some reason I thought there was just the 2 keepers. Was that just for the qualifiers?
That was just for the Malmö tie, JM was in the squad for Alashkert but obviously missed out due to COVID.

I reckon this will be end to end stuff tomorrow night. 3-2 Gers.
JCD's miss at the Copland against Lyon still haunts me.

Everytime we start a European group stage at home, we've won so guaranteed win tomorrow. Looking back I don't we actually have lost an opening game of a group stage in the last 20 years anyway.

I was in the Copland that night, just along from the left hand post. Even now, it looks impossible to miss. As you say, a real Sliding Doors moment.

They don’t have the game, either in UK or overseas, despite it being on their Home page. Click on Subscribe and it’s not offered to buy. They do not have the media rights to show the match. Same as every other year from the group stages onwards.
It doesn't. It shows it as "20:00 BT Sport"
We obviously want a win especially at home but a draw wouldn't be the worst result

That's what I thought. I'm going to the game but my sister in NZ said she was watching on RTV.
