Kenny Miller predicts Rangers v Club Brugge result
Despite a less-than-ideal start to the season, the Ibrox side have delivered impressive performances in Europe, defeating Panathinaikos and Viktoria Plzen to reach the Champions League play-off stage. They now face Club Brugge, and Miller is hopeful that their home advantage and history of strong results in Europe will lead to another noteworthy victory. The former Rangers player spoke to acknowledging the team's patchy domestic form but praising their European efforts. He said: "It's been not so good in the league, but what they've done so far to get to this stage in the Champions League has been phenomenal. "In European games, the team seems to step up. "It's never easy at this stage of the season to be playing in these big European qualifiers and they've come through the first couple of rounds really well." Miller also highlighted the significance of the upcoming match, considering the financial rewards and potential transfer market impact of Champions League qualification. Read more: He said: "It's a huge game. "The Champions League is so big for Scottish clubs and the financial reward to qualify is absolutely massive for them." The former striker believes that the Ibrox crowd will play a crucial role in motivating the players. He said: "The Rangers crowd is so, so key. "The energy that they've brought to the team in these European nights has been huge." As for the match outcome, Miller predicts a narrow victory for his former club. He said: "I would maybe go for a slender 2-1 lead for Rangers to take over to Belgium."

Barry Ferguson drops three Rangers transfer truths no fans want to hear
The former boss has named deals that he would have done - and the signing he hopes Celtic don't get over the line Former interim Rangers boss Barry Ferguson has told fans he would have snapped up Josh Mulligan and Lawrence Shankland if he was still in charge. The iconic Ibrox skipper stepped into the hotseat after Philippe Clement was shown the door back in February. However, Ferguson would not be given the job permanently with new owners Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises putting Russell Martin in place. Martin and sporting director Kevin Thelwell have focused on bringing in talent from England this summer - while Ferguson admits he would have liked to signed up Scottish stars. Rangers had been linked with a blockbuster move for Jamie Vardy - with reports now suggesting the veteran striker is keen on a move to Celtic. Asked about the Light Blues' interest and the potential of a switch to their city rivals, concerned Ferguson told Go Radio: "I know he is 37, 38 but I watched him in the Premier League last season and he still looked sharp. "I think he would be a brilliant signing for Celtic, but hopefully they don't get him because I think he could cause major trouble up here because of how good he is." While Record Sport understands Rangers have not made an approach for Vardy, Ferguson reckons that both Mulligan and Shankland should have been brought in the door on Edmiston Drive. Mulligan left Dundee at the end of his contract to join Hibs - while Rangers were among the clubs interested in a deal. And the 22-year-old has impressed early in his Easter Road career - including netting a wonderstrike in the Premier Sports Cup win over Livingston last weekend. Ferguson said: "We come against Dundee and I think he was a central midfielder. We beat them 4-3, but they were miles better in the first half - and he stood out for me like a sore thumb. "Very athletic, strong. A good player - he was linked with Rangers wasn't he? He is certainly one guy I would have took. "Listen, he has went to Hibs and I think David Gray has got a top performer there. You do look at other clubs and the younger ones they have brought through - Dundee are a brilliant example, Luke McCowan has gone to Celtic and hasn't looked out of place, Lyall Cameron has gone to Rangers and done superbly well. "There are a lot of good players at other clubs, and I think it would be ignorant to ignore them, because I think they could do a job." Asked if he would have also made a move for Shankland - who was out of contract before penning a new deal at Hearts - he responded: "I have always liked Shankland. "I think he has improved as he got older. i just like him, his all round game is really good. "He does the hardest thing and that is to score goals. I think Derek (McInnes) has done well to convince him, but he could have easily went to the Old Firm - either of the Old Firm."

'Huge week' for future of Scottish clubs in Europe
Four of Scotland's five European representatives are still standing as we prepare for this week's play-off rounds, with three guaranteed league phase action across Uefa's the bigger picture is not quite so rosy, with much harder qualification routes on the horizon unless significant strides are made in this and Rangers are bidding for places in the Champions League, against Kairat and Club Brugge respectively, while Aberdeen take on FCSB of Bucharest in the Europa losers of those ties drop to the next tournament, but there is no such safety net for Hibernian, who take on Legia Warsaw for a Conference League spot."It's a huge week," Gavin Noon, who runs the X account Scotland's Coefficient, told BBC Scotland."At the end of the season, Uefa will rank all the nations based on the amount of points collected over the last five years."As it stands, Scotland are 17th and we really need to finish 15th, so we want as many teams to pick up as many points as possible." Who do we need to catch? Switzerland and Austria are the countries immediately above Scotland in the Uefa club are 15th on the list, 2.8 points better off than may not sound like much but Noon points out this is the "equivalent of winning seven more league phase matches". Gulp!And the Austrians have already stolen a march, with Dundee United knocked out of Conference League qualifying on penalties by Rapid Vienna."It's quite a big gap," said Noon. "It's possible, but much more possible if Hibs make it as well."While Hibs were the first British team to play in Europe, way back in 1955, they have never reached group stage football in the modern will be underdogs against Poland's biggest club but have shown up well against Midtjylland and Partizan Belgrade in previous rounds."In the utopian world I live in, where we are supporting all Scottish teams, we are also supporting anyone playing against sides from Switzerland and Austria," adds Noon. What happens if we don't reel them in? If Scotland cannot climb to 15th, the outlook is bleak."It's quite a severe drop-off," warns would mean representation dropping from five to four clubs in two years' 2027-28, the Premiership champions would have three Champions League qualifiers instead of the current runners-up won't even get a sniff of the Champions League or Europa League, faced with three Conference League qualifiers - along with the team finishing Scottish Cup winners would have four Europa League qualifying out of the top 12 already means that this season's Scottish Cup winners will enter the Europa League third qualifying round instead of the play-offs and will not be guaranteed group stage the team finishing third in the Premiership this time round will enter in the Conference League in the second qualifying round instead of the same stage of the Europa League. How do we make up ground? By our clubs winning more games than their rivals from Austria and and Rangers are joined by Sturm Graz and Basel in the Champions League they strive to progress in the second tier tournament, Aberdeen have company from Young Boys of are outnumbered in the lowest ranked competition, with Servette and Lausanne representing the Swiss, while Rapid Vienna and Wolfsberger go for Austria. Reasons to be cheerful? Celtic certainly enjoyed their first taste of the new-look Champions League, winning three and drawing three of their eight games last term to finish 21st in the table before a narrow loss to Bayern Munich when the knockout matches have excelled in the Europa League of late, reaching the quarter-finals last course, the Ibrox side went all the way to the final in 2022, suffering an agonising penalty shoot-out coefficient boost gained from that fabulous run is set to disappear soon though and that is one of the reasons why this is such a crucial campaign for Scottish clubs.
