History books point towards positive Rangers result vs Porto

It’s going to be a tough game for Rangers in Portugal, with Porto one of European football’s most in-form sides.

Not only that, they have everything to play for when it comes to securing an automatic passage into the round of 16, and so Farioli will have his team confident and fired up that’s for sure.

However, Rangers will also still have an air of confidence about them too, and so they should, as not only are they in fine form at present having won eight-straight games, the history books are also on their side.

Thursday night’s game will be the seventh meeting between the two sides in a major European competition, and Porto have won just one of the previous six games.

Rangers have won three and drawn two, with their last clash taking place in the Europa League group stages in November 2019, when the Gers ran out 2-0 winners under the management of Steven Gerrard.
