Rangers fans have responded to a tweet from Portuguese club SC Braga, after the two sides were drawn against each other for the Europa League Round of 32.
While some fancied a ‘Battle of Britain’ clash, most Bears looked to Monday afternoon’s draw hoping to avoid the likes of Ajax, Inter Milan, RB Salzburg, Sevilla or Arsenal.
Some of the lesser potential opponents on paper were Espanyol, Malmo, Gent and Braga. Therefore, when it came down to the final two balls and it was only Rangers and the Primeira Liga side remaining, it constituted a relatively good result.
Based on their Europa League form so far, Braga will be full of confidence heading into this one.
During the group stages, they defeated Wolves and Slovan Bratislava away from home, while also turning over Turkish giants Besiktas twice.
Judging by the response when the Portuguese side tweeted the official Rangers account saying ‘see you soon’, though, Bears aren’t fearful heading into this one. They can smell the last 16.
