Rangers v Braga: Visitors capable of rare accolade in Glasgow


Braga come to Glasgow with the chance to become the first team ever to beat Celtic and Rangers away from home in the same European campaign.

So how have they fared since their last trip to Scotland? Pretty well is the answer, though they were somewhat surprisingly beaten on their last Europa League outing, losing 4-3 at home to Genk.

Those were their first dropped points in the competition, though, having added the scalp of Red Star to those of Celtic and Feyenoord, so they’re still very handily placed.

Despite only one other defeat since the win at Celtic Park – a far-from-disgraceful 2-1 loss away to Portuguese league leaders Porto – Carlos Vicens’ side are rather languishing in seventh place, below lesser-known clubs Gil Vicente, Familicao and Moreirense.

But as witnessed at Celtic Park, they are a useful outfit, with Rodrigo Zalazar, who came on as a substitute in that game, in particularly impressive form, now on 10 goals for the season.

So Rangers will have to up their game to inflict another Ibrox defeat on the Portuguese.
