History beckons for Gers

Fans have major part to play

Published:

TODAY is the day when once again a Scottish team has an opportunity to write its own chapter in football history. Rangers fans from all over the world have gathered in Manchester to watch them take on the hitherto little-known Zenit St Petersburg. The football will take care of itself. The Gers are capable of winning and a defeat would not be for lack of effort or ability.

It is the fans who have the bigger part to play in Manchester. If they show passion inside the stadium, then Rangers will win, and if they show restraint outside then the club will gain new fans all over the world.
