Rangers ready for wackiest opponent yet - overbearing chairman causes national storm before Ibrox showdown

dailyrecord.co.uk

Madcap Steaua Bucharest president Gica Becali has revealed how he ordered his manager to make a first half substitution at the weekend and claimed credit for winning the match - as Rangers' next Europa League rivals were rocked after star man Mihai Lixandru was ruled out for up to a year with a serious knee injury.

Rangers face the Romanians in their next Europa League encounter later this month after a win against Malmo and defeat to Lyon.

But Steaua - European Cup winners in 1986 - are no ordinary club. They are owned by controversial businessman and former politician Becali, who was jailed for three years after a corruption scandal 11 years ago and who happily admits to making coaching decisions too.

He also announced he wouldn't be travelling to Ibrox for their next match against Rangers because he would "coach them from his bed".
