Punchless- Ally McCoist’s big Champions League fear

Ally McCoist has urged Giovanni van Bronckhorst to send a team out to have a go at Liverpool tomorrow night.

Three matches in and Ibrox fans have had to put up with the most passive, safety-first tactics imaginable. Barely a glove has been laid on opponents as Ajax, Napoli and Liverpool work on their goal difference against Captain Tav and his out of touch team-mates.

Sending out a side designed for damage limitation has exposed the lack of quality at Ibrox with no-one enhancing their reputation or putting themselves in the shop window for a January deal.

Three Champions League matches over the next four midweeks could have a draining effect on the club but speaking to The Sun McCoist wants to see Liverpool put on the back foot tomorrow:

Gio might be thinking mentally you don’t want a going-over as it could impact you longer term.

It’s OK to say they are at the top table — but you need to have a go. They don’t want to exit the group stages with any regrets and not laying a glove on anyone.

There’s no disgrace losing a game, but when you don’t have a go and throw a few punches, it’s hard and Rangers haven’t done that yet. Against Napoli they did well until the sending-off, but that killed the game. I expect Wednesday to be different to last week, when it was a bit of a non-event.

A defeat to Liverpool would almost certainly guarantee no European football at Ibrox beyond Christmas.

    Get your cash on another sending off for the new klub.No doubt come January Colak will be doubling up with Haaland at Man City in record breaking transfer fee.

    Keep teaching the parrot new words instead of listening to McCoist. And you’ll hear more sense!
