Rangers hosts Progres Niedercorn in the first leg of the Europa League qualification quarterfinals. The match will be played on Thursday, July 25th at Ibrox Stadium (Glasgow)
Rangers is very lucky with the draw. For reference: after returning to the elite, Rangers got into the Europa League, where they played with certain Progres from Niedercorn in the first round. The result was a shame for the whole city and half of Scotland. Rangers remembered that shame for a long time, and the draw of the Europa League gave such a great chance in 2019. This is the only way to start this prediction. So, now Rangers has become many times stronger than it was three years ago. The team adds with each season, fights with Celtic and now the Rangers are consistently second. Gerrard copes with his duties perfectly, and it is silly to argue. The team has quite interesting characters, such as Arfield and Morelos. And the transfer of Defoe became the icing on the cake. When Jermain appeared from the bench, he is a very formidable weapon even in the Scottish Championship, and the players from Gibraltar have conceded two goals from such a player only in the return game. In friendly matches, Steven’s team showed surprising scoring. The victory over Oxford (5:0), the humiliation of Marseille (4: 0). Moreover, the squad of the French was as close as possible to the regular. Plus, Rangers, who were taught by bitter experience, just goofed on St. Josephs - the team from Gibraltar conceded 10 “dry” goals in three halves.

The boom of teams from dwarf countries began to subside a bit. Yes, Luxembourg has created loud sensations, but we see the separation in the strength of the teams. In this century, Progres took second place only once, but it was not even able to get into the top three in the rest of the seasons. If the team made some noise in the past seasons of the Europa League, it became difficult to fight from the very first round after the sale of several leaders. This season, Progres got the university team from Wales, which got into the European Cups and has already considered this a major achievement in history. Progress was losing 2-0 away, but managed to score one goal, and Cardiff was not jokingly pressing the visitors at the end. Only thanks to Flauss, the team managed not to concede the third one and not to relegate. The alarm bell was heard in the second round either. Progres managed to beat other amateurs from Britain, Cork City. After a confident victory in the away game (2:0), Progres was losing 0: 2 at home and almost burned in the end again. There are too many warning signs for Progres.
Rangers is not just focused on the group stage of the Europa League. In general, it may encroach on the tournament playoffs. The team does not spare anyone, and the fans from Glasgow remember a defeat to Progres. Rangers can deal with an opponent too brutally, and such a handicap seems to go without problems.
Prediction for the match: Rangers to win with -2.5 handicap
