Muzzza Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 If someone had told me that we could have a point tonight I would have taken that. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined we could beat them 3-0, OK so they aren't playing their best but they still have a lot of quality players. MoM for me probably Hemdani, so calm and collected all game. Everyone was brilliant though. YASSSSS.

McD Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Thought we might get something from tonight but not that! Superb performance from back to front, stunning result, stunning. Couldn't give a **** about Lyon's problems, they're the French champions, full of cracking players and top of Ligue 1 and we just totally mastered them tonight. On their own patch. Absolutely magic.

TM Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 amazing, simply astonishing is THAT seriously the team that played against Motherwell on Saturday (apart from maybe a few changes)? don't really care about Lyon, didn't give us a chance at all tonight like 99% of people and that performance was just magnificent Rangers mirroring the high in Scottish football at the moment, similar league we faced to Scotland and we are kicking well above our weight when nobody including Gers fans ourselves gave us no chance - possibly the best performance I've seen from us in Europe in years, even better than the Advocaat days when we had a much, much better team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sav112 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 to think we all moaned about McCulloch coming in. He’ll pay his way no bother, he’s been a standout player this season. His work rate and probably what he adds to the dressing room spirit is priceless, another Walter signing that’s no longer in question. Fantastically enjoyable game, just wish we could stop with the poor performances before Europe like the Motherwell game. Ok Boyd missed about four good chances at Motherwell but he better start taking them as we have others that will, Cousin for starters.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 A fantastic result. Probably our best away performance since Valdiklavkaz. 3 great goals, clean sheet, the big lucky bounces, in our favor what more can you ask for? Bet the French wish they never see a Scottish side again. I put £8 quid on Rangers to win tonight and got £100. 200-1 on a 3-0 Rangers win, bet some lucky bastard put a few quid on that as well.

Frankie Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 German champions beaten. French champions beaten. Surely we can beat the Spanish runners up easily enough...? What a fantastic result and performance last night. 3 superb goals and no-one can say our win wasn't deserved. Other than the first 5 minutes were we looked a little nervy, we coped extremely well with everything the French through at us. Indeed, it's a huge compliment to our defence that all of Lyon's half-chances came from 25 yard shots. In midfield, despite an off-form Ferguson, we worked incredibly hard and the spoliing tactic of Hemdani once again worked a treat. Special praise for Kevin Thomson though as I thought he was quite simply outstanding. Beasley and McCulloch also worked the flanks and the wee American was particularly good. Up front, Cousin showed that he is a fine, fine player. Supply him with the right kind of ball (ie to his feet) and like JCD, he'll hold onto it, link with others and score goals. Delighted for him! All in all, one of the best European nights ever for Rangers fans and I hope we can now build on it in the SPL and make a strong challenge on both fronts.

Frankie Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 In European terms, you have to go back to season 1974-75 (2-5 defeat against Borussia Moenchengladbach in the UEFA Cup) to find such a heavy defeat. For Lyon in European competition and it’s the first defeat of Lyon in the group stages since the defeat by Ajax (0-2) in 2003-04. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacemaker7 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Totally agree with Frankie, it's always hard to single out players in such a match but Kevin Thomson was nothing short of brilliant. Papac also deserves special mention, he's really doing well out there on the left. I thought Alan Hutton was a bit ropey at times actually, but there was always someone there to cover and thats what I love about this team. Hell even McCulloch was back defending. Alan McGregor made two fantastic saves, and although Lyon moan about hitting the woodwork - thats what it's there for and to be honest they didn't deserve it anyway. I know Ter said in the other thread he didn't think we played that well but I thought we were magnificent. We were the away team, you have to expect a side of Lyon's quality - and despite what the numpties say, Lyon still do have a fair bit of quality - to make chances which they did, but the look in Juninho's eyes near the end said it all. Ronaldinho came to Ibrox and was sent packing, Van Nilstelrooy, remember him with PSV? Messi will be next Well probably not but you can always dream......
