All the critics write them off each round away from home against good quality French, German, Spanish, Portugese teams. You must wonder how long they can keep this up and no doubt they face another game when everyone is writing them off against a very good Italian team but i will go aginst the odds and take the underdogs to meke it through to the final.


I dont think 'everyone' is writing them off mate, from the papers I have seen some people believe they have a real chance of nicking an away goal and going through.

I was not overly impressed with Fiorentina in the first leg, they played the exact same football as every other European team to visit Ibrox this year and they obviously never done their homework as they consistently punted high balls into the box which is bread and butter for this Rangers back line.

If the Italians are to win tonight they MUST play football and pass Rangers off the field, otherwise Rangers will quiet happily sit a line of 5 in midfeild in front of the back line of four defenders to protect their goal.
