Rangers take on Aberdeen this evening in a massive Scottish Cup quarter final replay.
Ahead of the game, Joe Lewis, has talked up his side’s chances, as quoted by the Daily Record.
There’s little doubt having been 1-0 down at half-time, Rangers were the happier of the two sides when the initial fixture finished in a draw.

The tie will be decided tonight, though, and Gerrard’s men are expected to finished the job.
Yet, as Aberdeen have already recorded a win at Ibrox this season, it seems they are also in confident mood.
“We consider ourselves as a big club, a good club and that’s how it should be”, said Lewis, as quoted by
the Daily Record.
“We don’t consider ourselves inferior to the big two Glasgow teams.”
“I don’t know what Rangers thoughts are about us but we will carry ourselves with that bit of confidence and have that swagger when we get out at Ibrox. It will let them know they are in for a game.”
The Gers need to set the record straight.
Clearly, Rangers are the vastly bigger club and always will be. Talk otherwise is simply nonsense.

It’s important that that’s obvious on the pitch tonight, though.
Lewis and co. can walk about with all the swagger they want, but if Gerrard’s men turn up there’s only one result.
Man for man, despite their keeper’s claims, the visitors are inferior and a resounding win tonight would take them back down a peg or two.
