Rangers Preview – Can Rangers make final push?
Having held their closest rivals in Group D, Benfica, to entertaining 3-3 and 2-2 draws away and home respectively, Steven Gerrard’s game plan for his Rangers side in this season’s Europa League has worked almost perfectly as the Scottish hosts are on the brink of securing a place in the knockout rounds of the competition on Thursday night.
Rangers sit joint-top of the group with their Portuguese counterparts, Benfica, with both teams just requiring a draw to book their places but there is the matter of also trying to get the most favourable tie and the hosts will also be keen to maintain their impressive seven-match unbeaten run in this competition.
The hosts have emerged out of Celtic’s shadow and are now basking in the limelight with The Hoops are currently negotiating choppy waters, while Rangers are enjoying an excellent 22-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
Standard Liege Preview – Can Standard Liege stay alive?
Anything less than a win at Ibrox on Thursday night would see Standard Liege’s hopes of grabbing a top two finish in Group D fly out of the window as they trail their hosts by a five-point margin ahead of Matchday 5 in the Europa League.
Two wins on the trot for the Belgian club would certainly put a cat among the pigeons but having lost three of their previous four matches in the group with defeats to Rangers (at home), Benfica and Lech Poznan, this scenario looks highly unlikely.
In addition, Standard Liege have failed to win any of their last nine away ties in the Europa League which includes just one clean sheet while shipping a total of 21 goals in the process at the other end.
