Rangers could be catching Borussia Dortmund at a good time and Germans may well be in for a surprise - Monday Jury

Andy Newport: The Germans have hit a bit of a sticky patch of late but Gers have toiled in recent seasons when stepping up against the stronger sides in the Europa League. A narrow defeat will give them a chance for the second leg at Ibrox.

Craig Swan: Staying in the tie would be a good outcome for Rangers. The Germans are top class and the Ibrox team will need to perform with excellence to stay afloat.

Michael Gannon: They could surprise the Germans. Dortmund are having a proper nightmare right now, with flak coming from all angles. Rangers might catch them at a good time.

Scott Burns: I don’t see Rangers getting too much change out of Dortmund. They might run them close at Ibrox but I suspect the Germans will have too much over two legs.

Newport: The Norwegians proved against Roma they are no mugs but they’ve had four of their top performers stripped away in January and Celtic should fancy their chances.

Swan: Celtic have got better in Europe through the season and have enough in the locker to win the tie in Glasgow.

Gannon: They should do. Bodo are still in pre-season and have lost some of their star turns from the side who thumped Roma. Their height could be a set-piece problem but Celtic’s attack should see them through.

Burns: The Norwegians have already had some big results in Europe. They will fancy their chances but I see Celtic taking care of Bodo/Glimt.

Newport: Yes. He had a year in charge and two transfer windows to get the Dons motoring yet they continually broke down. A change of boss looks like the only way to get them up and running again.

Swan: Surely there was no choice. For a team with their season on the line at Motherwell at the weekend, they performed badly.

Gannon: It seems a bit daft.
