Its not how you get there its just about getting there, playing in a cup final. Once you've made it its just one game that decides. Why do you think they play 2 legs home and away??? its the managers ability to be tactical and play a team and style which suits the fixture


My point, as posted above, was that with everything to play for in the 2nd leg, Rangers decided before the game even kicked off that they would defend. It took them the best part of 75mins before they even had a shot on goal.

If that gets you to a final, well good luck to them. Sure isn't the kind of football I like to see. At least they will be forced to play a different game in the final.................or will they hope that goes to penalties as well??
