Rangers have the chance to reach the Europa League quarter-finals tonight for the first time in three years if they finish the job against Fenerbahce.
Barry Ferguson is on the brink of an incredible achievement with the rookie interim manager overcoming the might of Jose Mourinho in the first leg last Thursday evening.
Rangers secured a memorable 3-1 victory, but as Ferguson warned, the job is only half complete. Ibrox tonight will be bouncing and the Light Blues need to see the tie over the line.
Mourinho served his own warning at his press conference on Wednesday, saying that Fenerbahce are still better than Rangers and the ‘door to the quarter-finals is still open’.
Ferguson thinks Rangers need to be more streetwise to claim victory in Govan having lost their last three home matches in a row – the worst being the Queen’s Park debacle.
Cyriel Dessers insists Rangers fans will be needed to make Ibrox a cauldron of noise and intimidation – can the team deliver under the pressure?
Below, Rangers News has everything you need to know about the Fenerbahce second leg including how to watch on TV, the latest team news, an injury round-up plus the appointed officials.
