With the international break, it’s time for clubs to reflect on the big challenges they’ll have in the upcoming part of the season, and that includes the group stage of European copmetitions.
Michael Beale’s Rangers were just drawn in Group C of Europa League, which also includes Real Betis, Sparta Prague and Aris Limassol.
As Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo today features a story about the trips that fans from the La Liga side will make, they show big excitement about the visit to Glasgow to face Rangers.
The outlet starts by pointing out that Betis fans have been creating a tradition in the past few years, bringing big numbers to wherever the club is playing in Europe.
Since their opening game is against Rangers, it’s pointed out that the ‘mythical’ Ibrox is the stadium with the biggest capacity they’ll be visiting in the group stage, so it’s therefore the trip to face Beale’s men which has been pinpointed as this year’s big one.
Betis are set to have 2500 seats for the match against Rangers, and that’s expected to be the big chance for their support to help them to get a good result in what should be the toughest match of this part of the competition. The story mentions a ‘massive movement’ of fans for this game.
That’s undoubtedly a great opening for the group stage, and Rangers better be prepared for how motivated the Spanish side will arrive for this match.
