“Every player that comes into this club does an interview and says it’s great to be part of Rangers, one of the most successful clubs in the world, and they are at a big club now, but now you have got to go and perform and accept that.

I'm not buying that! In all the interviews I've seen or heard him speak he has always been very definite about that. We're not one of... we are THE most successful club in world football.

We're all anxious largely due to previous disappointment. SG seems confident so i'm getting into his confidence.

No way - you are always confident.  It's the rest of us who feel anxious - I am cautiously optimistic - I am expecting a high tempo, pressing game tonight and a few goals.  No pressure Stevie G

No value at the bookies.

 

Bet365 have us as 1/14 odds on.

 

It's as if they are rating the Macedonians as East Fife, which I'd guess isn't very fair on them.

Only one other team were as short as us at 1/14 in the EL today, the Slovenians Rudar Velenje (me neither).

 

 

They have 10 minutes left against Sn Marino minnows, Tre Fiori and lead 6-0.

 

Edit, 84mins, 7 zip

 

Progres just gone into a 0-1 lead at FK Qabala (Azerbaijan)
