Glasgow Rangers vs Saint Gilloise

Rangers After making the Europa League final and only losing out on penalties last season, it would be a massive shock if Rangers were to be eliminated by a side that have never featured in a major European tournament, Royale Union Saint Gilloise. The Scottish giants dominated in terms of possession in the reverse leg but were ultimately defeated 2-0, meaning they have something of a mountain to climb in order to turn that around in the home leg. Saint Gilloise Only promoted to the Belgian top-flight for last season, Royale Union surpassed all expectations by pushing the title race all the way and finding themselves in the Champions League qualifiers. Their only prior European participation came in the now defunct Inter Cities Fairs cup, so any further progress is already historic. While their 2-0 first-leg win was impressive, the intimidation factor of a rocking Ibrox simply cannot be understated. The likes of Dortmund could hardly deal with it, so it would surprise few if Rangers take this game by the scruff of the neck. Prediction I predict that Rangers will win this game within 90 minutes, although perhaps by an extra time inducing 2-0 scoreline. Royale Union are no pushovers and will do everything they can to stifle Rangers, so we expect a hard-fought match.Show Less
