Agree with you here although don't see Stuttgart at 6/4 online anywhere. Also if Rangers draw and Lyon draw, then a point against them on the final day would put Rangers through so I'm not sure they would go for it tomorrow night?

Would be surprised to see Stuttgart lose this, they have found a bit of form as recent thrashings of Eintracht and Bayern Munich have shown and while they have only pride at stake they will have a point to prove in front of their own supporters. We have also seen recently ( england v croatia) that teams 'without' motivation or nothing to play for in respect to qualification tend to play better. Rangers have done well in this group and are a hard side to break down playing 4-5-1 so still undecided on taking an outright home win or laying Rangers.

Fancy Lyon aswell, possibly on the AH, they are normally pretty strong at the Gerland and if they win and Rangers lose, a point at Ibrox would be enough to see them through.
