Match Preview for the Rangers against Fenerbahce
The Rangers are in a fantastic position to progress in the Europa League when Fenerbahce came in town on Thursday.
The Scottish team has a 3-1 advance on the globe, the magnificent Jose Mourinho and the Turkish team last time.
Whoever leaves this equality as winners will face Roma or the athletic bilbao in the quarterfinals.
The Rangers had a full week to prepare for this match after receiving the weekend of domestic action, while Mourinho’s men had the same luxury.
The hosts have largely played on the counterattack for the trip to Istanbul and can use the same tactics in Ibrox.
It was their second victory in three games since Barry Ferguson was appointed acting manager, replacing Phillipe Clement.
Mourinho went so far as to describe the 3-1 loss as a good result for Fenerbahce given the way they played.
His team has not lost far from his home since December 7, but their record in European links with direct elimination is less impressive, conceding two or more in seven of their last 11 on the road.
🎙️ Barry Ferguson says that his team must light the fire in the Ibrox closed shopping crowd tomorrow evening while the rangers bid for a place in the quarter -finals of the UEFA Europa League.

Team news for Rangers against Fenerbahce
Robin Propper was forced for the Rangers in the middle of the first half of the trip to Türkiye last week after colliding with goalkeeper Jack Butland and it seems unlikely to appear.
Apart from that, the Rangers have a solid team, including James Tavernier, John Souttar and Ridvan Yilmaz.
Fenerbahce has some additional problems.
Caglar Soyncu was released during the defeat of the first leg and joined Jayden Oosterwolde, Rodrigo Becao, Diego Carlos, Bright Osayi-Samuel and Ismail Yusek on the key line.
Fred returns to suspension for the return match, while Anderson Talisca and Allan Saint-Maximin will pressure for a place in the departure XI, as well as Dusan Tadic, Youssef En-Neyri and Edin Dzeko.
