Just as well because our defending has been like a pub league team recently.

I wouldn't trust us to hold out for a 0-0 at all. We probably don't have the tough tackling, aggressive players to do that very well. The strategy tonight has to be to hit on the counter attack and get a goal, otherwise it will only take 1 goal to knock us out and you'd fancy Braga for a goal tonight.

 

I wonder if Edmundson will be used tonight. On the one hand I doubt it as Katic has European experience and match practice. However, even putting his poor form to one side, I think a team who press so high up the park will get joy out of him. You'd fancy Edmundson to at least cope with the pressing better as his passing and ball control is levels above Katic. Having said that, I think after how well Braga pressed at Ibrox we will see a much more direct style than usual from Rangers tonight.
