Europa League qualification is firmly on the minds of Rangers fans ahead of tomorrow night. While it can’t officially be secured with a win over Villarreal, Rangers would just be about there. Three points is therefore all that’s on the mind of Steven Gerrard and his light blue legions going into the clash. Of course,…

I realise that this is complicated, so no worries about getting things wrong but the following is slightly inaccurate. “If Rangers and Spartak win, they’ll be locked on eight points with Spartak ahead on the head-to-head record. Villarreal and Rapid would be on six and five points respectively.” If this happened Rapid would be on 4 points not 5 and couldn’t qualify with us and Spartak on 8. Which might make the trip to Vienna easier. Also anything from Moscow in Spain would ensure our qualification.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for this. You are 100% correct. Have amended that error and put in the correct points for Rapid should they lose tonight.

Apologies to those who have read the article and believed Rapid would be on five despite a defeat. This was my error and has now been fixed.

Thanks for pointing that out Mike!
