Kris Boyd says Rangers have ‘fighting chance’ after drawing Liverpool in Europe

Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd believes the Light Blues have a “fighting chance” in their Champions League group which will see a battle of Britain against Liverpool.

Last season’s Europa League finalists booked their place in European football’s elite club competition for the first time since 2010/11 by beating PSV Eindhoven in the play-off round on Wednesday night.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side were rewarded by being drawn alongside the Reds, who were beaten finalists last season, Dutch side Ajax and Napoli from Serie A.

These days a pundit, Boyd, who had two spells at Ibrox, told Sky Sports: “I think when you get to this stage of the competition you are just delighted to be there. To draw Liverpool, a battle of Britain, I’m sure the boys will be looking forward to it.

“It’s a great occasion for Rangers to be back in the elite level of European competition after a long time away from it.

“Confidence was built from a fantastic run last year (to the Europa League final), but with Ajax and Napoli as well it makes for a good group.

“When you look at some of the groups it could have been a lot worse, but every group will be difficult.

“With Ajax, Calvin Bassey will be going back to Ibrox as well, so soon after leaving (Rangers) for that massive transfer fee in the summer, so I’m sure he’s looking forward to that.

“Liverpool, for everyone in Britain, will be a great occasion with two clubs with great history going head to head. I’m sure that will be one everyone is tuning in for.

“Napoli were third last year in Serie A and have started the season really well.

“You would expect Liverpool to win the group and the rest, we will wait and see what happens, but I’m sure Rangers will be in there with a fighting chance.”
