Rangers form and stats

As mentioned below, Rangers are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Premiership games.

Rangers's previous match was also a home event, the loss 0-3 vs Napoli (in Champions League). This club managed a 13 league matches long run without a defeat before that game! The goalie McGregor was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.02 out of ten. McGregor saved a penalty.

Before that game, a loss in the away fixture against Ajax in the Champions League. Rangers are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Ibrox Stadium with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. In their match history 10 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Rangers has won 10 times, drawn 0 and lost 0. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Rangers has won by at least two goals 8 times when in this position.
