Lothar Matthaus has 'third rate' Rangers in his crosshairs AGAIN as unmystic meg makes his prediction

Unimpressed Lothar Matthaus has dismissed Rangers once again ... weeks after branding Gio van Bronckhorst 's side "third rate".

The German football icon is no fan of the Europa League hopefuls and previously made a mess of his prediction when he claimed Borussia Dortmund had a "90 per cent chance" of winning their last 32 clash.

And now he senses glory for RB Leipzig against the Premiership champions in the semi finals.

Matthaus, 61, said: "I think RB Leipzig are the clear favourites against Rangers.

"We should enjoy that two great German clubs are in the semi-finals of the Europa League. For a long time, we were disappointed with the international performance of our teams. And again this year the performance in the Champions League was anything but glorious.

"But Eintracht Frankfurt continues to write such a great success story in this competition and RB also deserves a lot of respect.
