Rangers News and Form – Will Rangers collect the home win over Feyenoord?
It is a W5 D4 L7 record that Rangers hold against Dutch clubs. From those sixteen previous fixtures, Rangers have failed to score in half of them, including the last three. This will be their first meeting with a Dutch side since the 2010/11 Europa League round of sixteen when they were up against PSV. The Rangers lost 1-0 at Ibrox and drew 0-0 in the Netherlands. Rangers took second place in last season’s Scottish top flight to gain entry to the Europa League.
They started in the first qualifying round and weren’t really troubled along the way. A late goal by Alfredo Morelos gave them a playoff win over Legia Warsaw in what was their toughest qualification tie. It is a 13 match unbeaten streak of home form that Rangers are currently on, winning nine of those (which includes qualification fixtures). Rangers have won all four at Ibrox this season and have conceded only 5 goals in their last 13 home games. In none of their last nine European home games have they conceded more than one goal in a fixture.
