It’s a tremendous few days for the Gers, with a cup final match against Celtic following tonight’s Europa League meeting in fast succession.
Ally McCoist has acknowledged that he would be willing to forgo the powderkeg Europa League match against Tottenham if it meant Rangers beating Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup final at Hampden on Sunday.
Former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou leads his Spurs side to Ibrox tonight, where he is guaranteed to face a harsh reception from the Gers fans. Light Blues manager Philippe Clement has alleviated pressure on his own position in the dugout by winning five of his last six games in all competitions, whereas opposite number Postecoglou is under fire with Spurs currently seven points behind the top four in the Premier League.
And, after watching Rangers pick up 10 points in their first five Europa League matches, Ibrox legend McCoist admits he wouldn’t mind seeing Spurs win tonight if the Gers go on to win the trophy against their bitter city rivals at the weekend. Alan Brazil was put on the spot during a live phone call on talkSPORT and asked, “Define battering? Because if we lose tonight, we still have a decent chance of qualifying.
“So to answer your question, I will take a 2-0 tonight and a win on Sunday, how’s that?” Brazil then joked that McCoist could consider reversing the scorelines, to which McCoist responded, “Al the line has gone a bit funny.”
