International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Rangers and Liverpool are looking forward to this Champions League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Rangers and Liverpool.
Rangers form and stats
Rangers was eliminated in the 3rd qualifying round last season in the Champions League. Malmö FF was too strong.When playing at home in the league, Rangers have managed 0 wins, 0 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 0 games. On the other hand, in the Champions League, Rangers has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses.
Rangers's last game was hosting St. Mirren and winning 4-0. As mentioned above, Rangers "killed" St. Mirren in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Čolak, who plays in attack, was the best performer for the side in that fixture, earning a rating of 9.03 (out of 10). Čolak scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that match, a defeat in the away fixture against Liverpool in the Champions League.
The manager van Bronckhorst will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Motherwell in only four days.
