Rangers Europa League run this season has got many Bears dreaming of Euro success, and rightly so, especially when an incredible thread on Twitter has come to light sharing the strange – and quite frankly – ridiculous coincidences between this season and the run to the UEFA Cup final in 2008.
The thread was actually started on March 7th but has been regularly updated following more unusual coincidences.
It is a long read but well worth it, and you can check it out here on Twitter which will be sure to please the majority of the Rangers faithful who will surely be fact-checking along the way.
Rangers Twitter thread emerges sharing unique coincidences between this season and the 2008 UEFA Cup run
I don’t want to spoil too much, but there are some crackers that will take you right back to 2008 and those heady days.
With the recent result against Red Star Belgrade moving us to the quarters of a major European competition for the first time since 2008 it could prove to be a similar run.
We have drawn Braga in the last eight and then could potentially face Atalanta or RB Leipzig in the semi-finals.
The Ibrox side played a Portuguese side and then an Italian side on the way to the final in 2008… and this is just one of the 23 links between the two campaigns, and it keeps getting better as the competition progresses.
There is no doubt about it that it could be the greatest achievement in the club’s history if we were to go on and win the competition and secure a spot in the Champions League group stages next season.
You can win the league title any year, but the chance of European success comes once in a generation.
In other news, Rangers can upset the applecart in Europe with an American stat outlet giving us no chance of reaching the final.
