match thread (image) [FT] Rangers 5 (Morelos 9; Patterson 46, Kent 55; Barisic 79pen; Itten 90+2pen) - 2 Royal Antwerp

[RANGERRAB 3,246]

Unbelievable. Royal Antwerp are a decent side. Two evenly matched sides but over the two legs the difference between the two was Alfredo Morelos. 

Whatever the yahoos get for Eduarde in the summer we should be looking for at least £10m more for Morelos.

I didn't fancy us to win tonight, I did think we would go through, I fancied a draw, they are a very decent side yet over the two legs we hammered them.

Terrific result and well deserved

I'd take Lukaku.

I would love to hear from a fly on the wall at the Graham Speirs house tonight.

Have to say I could listen to SG talk all night. Brilliant interview and humble when compared to Walter Smith.
