Rangers and Club Brugge face each other in an official match for the first time since 1993, when they faced each other in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, when Rangers won 2-1 at home and the fixture in Brugge ended in a 1-1 draw.

Rangers won each of their seven official games at home against Belgian opponents and scored at least two goals in all matches in the process (22 goals for, 8 conceded).

Rangers have won 18 of their 29 home games in the UEFA Champions League Qualifying Phase (62.1% – D7 L4), the fourth-highest win percentage for any side with at least 25 home matches at this stage of the tournament (Rosenborg, Celtic and F.C. København).

Club Brugge won each of their last four matches in the UEFA Champions League Qualifying Phase, as many as of their previous 15 such matches (D4 L7), their longest winning streak at this stage of the tournament.

Since the introduction of the current UEFA Champions League format in 2003-04, Club Brugge have qualified for the competition’s group phase/league phase on nine different occasions, already once more than any other Belgian side over that period (RSC Anderlecht, 8).[/list]

That’s appalling

That’s appalling

I know what Ron Atkinson would say here and it's hard to argue.

Edit.
Souttar is the near centre half who can't play the high line as he's got the turning circle of the titanic and moves as quickly as a sunken ship.

Lazy. Big Ron identified the lazy trait.

However.
