Glasgow Rangers hosts Galatasaray in the Europa League qualification final. The match will be played on Thursday, October 1st at Ibrox Stadium (Glasgow)
FC Rangers performs well in the Scottish Championship, but this is the usual story, testifying not to the strength of the club from Glasgow, but only to the blatant weakness of the rest of the teams in relation to the Teddy Bears and Celtic. The same can be said about the Europa League qualification: the defeat of the Gibraltar team is only a catalyst for the latter's weakness. But the confident victory over the Dutch Willem II is already a serious result, although this team is very modest even by the standards of the Dutch championship. It turns out that there is not much to praise FC Rangers for.

Galatasaray plays in a much stronger Turkish championship and looks more than worthy there. The team confidently beat Gaziantep (3: 1), dealt with last year's champion Basaksehir (2:0), and tied with Fenerbahce in the derby (0:0). Moreover, judging by the statistics of that match, the Yellow-Reds could even win. As for the Europa League qualification, Galatasaray had much more serious rivals than FC Rangers, namely the experienced European Cup fighters Croatian Hajduk and Azerbaijani Neftci. The Turkish team confidently beat both of these clubs. In a word, Galatasaray is strong and is in excellent game shape.
Glasgow Rangers simply has no experience with opponents like Galatasaray. You can beat the weak Scottish clubs as much as you want, but this match will be a completely different story, for which the Scots are not ready. The support of the fans usually helps them a lot in home matches, but this meeting will be held without spectators, so they will not be able to cheer their favorites. Galatasaray is much stronger in terms of the squad, and the team is in excellent shape. And if the visitors did not lose to Fenerbahce and beat Basaksehir, then they simply must at least not lose to FC Rangers.
Prediction for the match: Galatasaray to win with +0.5 handicap
