    Nou Camp? Not bad. The Maracana? Ach alright I suppose. They're not quite a stadium built into the side of a GIANT HILL are they?

    The Municipal Stadium here in Braga is quite the sight, and it could be the setting of an iconic night for Rangers.

    Over 10,000 are expected in this place tonight high in the Portuguese hills, around 50% of the anticipated overall attendance. They've fair been enjoying themselves as well.

    The Praça da República has been base camp for many Rangers supporters over the last day or so as they've been mixing with the locals. There's washing up liquid in a fountain, a Scottish football away trip calling card...

    Hundreds already started trickling into this incredible stadium with two hours to go before a ball is kicked. Anticipation is definitely in the air. Either that or it's altitude sickness.

    He [Giovani van Bronckhorst] might feel that Roofe didn't do enough on Sunday to merit a start tonight which I think is slightly harsh. I think Rangers will pose more of a goal threat than Braga's last two opponents did - including Monaco.

  6. Here we go...

    Braga v Rangers (20:00)

    There's probably a bit of a deflated feel amongst some Rangers fans after Sunday's Old Firm defeat, and then the news Alfredo Morelos will miss the rest of the season.

    The league title may look a long shot, but European quarter-finals are not to be sniffed at. What a chance they have to get their spark back.
