Rangers vs Union Saint-Gilloise Tips
Tip 1
Rangers are guaranteed a top-24 finish and a place in the knockout phase of the competition, however, last week’s result in Manchester does make it all but confirmed to be a play-off place.
They will want to be seeded for the two-legged knockouts though, which should ensure that a strong team and focused side are fielded at Ibrox on Thursday.
Philippe Clement, who has saved his job due to performance in this competition, has seen improvements over the last month or so and are notoriously strong on home soil, going unbeaten in 12 and winning five on the bounce.
Tip 2
BTTS has landed in five out of the last seven for Gers and seven of the most recent nine for the travelling Belgian outfit.
Five of Rangers’ last six matches in this competition have featured goals at both ends, and there’ll be an equal amount of motivation on display from both clubs this week.
Cyriel Dessers’ name is floating out in the ether of the transfer rumour mill, however, the Rangers striker insists he isn’t leaving the club in any rush this month.
The 30 year old has netted twice in the UEL, including at Old Trafford in last week’s 2-1 defeat.
He’s also scored in each of his last three and holds six goals in his last four, helping put him on 18 in 35 appearances across all competitions for the season.
