Paul Gascoigne's sensational solo goal couldn’t keep Rangers in Europe the last time Steaua Bucharest were at Ibrox. Neil Murray suspects it’ll be as good as over for Gers once again if they fail to roll over the Romanians.
Murray featured as the club now known as FCSB notched a comeback 1-1 draw in November 1995. Walter Smith’s men were given hope by some Gazza genius but Adrian ‘The Cobra’ Ilie bit back and both Juventus and Borussia Dortmund advanced from that Champions League section.
With a Europa League group that looks every bit as taxing as that draw two decades ago, Murray fears Philippe Clement ’s men face a must-win scenario following their 4-1 home defeat to Lyon.
The Light Blues treble winner said: “Rangers can do it against Bucharest. And they might have to because Manchester United, Tottenham, Nice and Olympiacos are different beasts. “If you were looking at those clubs fielding full strength teams in the competition, then Rangers would have an uphill task winning.
