Game Kicks off tomorrow at 1945. Rangers drew 1-1 at the weekend whilst Lyon won 3-0 to take them to the top of the French league, albeit joint on points with a team who have a match in hand I believe. If we can get a result tomorrow it would be a massive jump towards getting out of this group and through.

Without Darcheville we have a problem about who to play up top on their own ( I believe Darche has officially pulled out now ? ). Should it be Boyd, Cousin, Novo , Naismith , McCulloch ?
I would go with the following for tomorrow….

MacGregor
Hutton Weir Cuellar Papac
Novo Ferguson Hemdani Thomson Beasley
Boyd

The reason I picked Boyd is if started his confidence will be buzzing and we really need a goal , however I reckon Walter may go with either big Lee or Cousin up front.
My prediction is 2-0 to Rangers, and yes I am in a very optimistic mood. Hopefully we can pull off a shock.

Come on the 'Gers !!!

I thought Darcheville travelled with the squad and would be fit??

SSN says tuesday has come too soon for him .

[deky]

You'll get fucked
Don't expect to get an easy penalty away from home on Tuesday, only Scottish referee's bend over to Rangers.
Maybe that's why you fail in Europe so often
Aye I'm bitter at dropping two points on Saturday.

MON LYON

I genuinely think Rangers have a chance here - Lyon haven't been firing on all cylinders and have lost many players over the past few years.
With Walter's jamminess on their side, I wouldn't be surprised if they got a point from this.
Although I sincerely hope not.

Aye right...They are not firing on all cylinders and have struggled to the top of the French League..

With Nancy in 2nd, Valenciennes in 4th and Le Mans in 5th.
They've lost two out of 9 so far and were humped by Barcelona.
Overrated, I'm telling you.

They started the season dreadfully but have begun to look ominously good again, a slip-up against Lille aside. The comfortably beat Lens 3-0 last Saturday and in Karim Benzema possess arguably the best teenage goalscorer on the continent.

They can still be a little vulnerable however, although this is mainly due to the attitude of the players; Juninho has already publicly stated that he thinks Perrin's tactics are too negative. They are also struggling with injuries; any side missing players like Coupet, Cris and Fred will be weakened significantly.

I'll go for a 2-0 home win, Benzema to score the first goal.

There go the scottish coupons , for now.

Anyone who backed Lyon at 1/2 needs their heads checked, they're not the team they used to be and Rangers won't concede too many.

[craigkillie]

You're doing well but Cousin is rubbish. He can't control the ball and his reading of the game is terrible. Midfield are doing well but I worry that Smith will have them sitting deeper and deeper as the game goes on.

Took Rangers at 11/2 and doubled them with Dynamo Kiev...to be honest i would still take the draw!

That chap Beasley does go to ground somewhat easily

Deeper? That would be the English Channel.
