Default Re: UEFA Cup 24th of April

I need somebody to help me?
Most of PL's Scottish members have said that Rangers will play 4-5-1 formation and will be aiming not to concede a goal, but I have wonder how they can exploit a such formation, as they have so many players that will miss tonight game? Here are Rangers' players stats in CL and UEFA games:

*players in red will miss the game

If W.Smith wants to put 5 man midfield, he must bring some players from front and back lines. I think 4-4-2 formation probably will suit them better, than 4-5-1 in current circumstances.
For Fiorentina Tomas Ujfalusi and Marco Donadel will miss the game too. I rate Ujfalusi absence as a very important for Italian team and that increase Rangers chances to score.
I will waiting until UEFA.com publish official lines and will put small stake on OVER2.0 at 2.06.

Thank in advance and GL tonight
