Last season, Rangers faced Union Saint-Gilloise in the qualifying round for a Champions League spot, at a time when Philippe Clement wasn’t in charge.
The Scottish side had a great first game at Ibrox, with a 3-0 win, and even though Rangers lost 2-0 in Belgium, they still made it through to the next round of the competition.
Now it seems the visit to Rangers is still in the mind of a few, and that includes their captain Anthony Moris, who sat down to have a chat with RTBF.
The goalkeeper claimed that they’re expecting a big atmosphere when facing Eintracht Frankfurt tonight, and when giving an example of how loud things can get, he recalled the game at Ibrox in 2022.
“But it’s good because a lot of us experienced that match and we’re going to relive that kind of fervour. We’re going to have to deal with this moment, but we learnt a lot from that match in Scotland.”
Union SG and Frankfurt are playing the second round of the Conference League. Following a 2-2 draw in Belgium, they will today decide who’s going to the round of 16.
Last season, Rangers beat Union SG for a place in the play-off, and then managed to also best PSV for a spot in the group stages.
However, accompanied by the likes of Napoli, Liverpool and Ajax, the Scottish side ended up with six losses, finishing bottom of their group.
