Charlie Nicholas predicts Celtic and Rangers Europa League games

Glasgow Rangers will face Rapid Vienna away from Ibrox on Thursday night in the Europa League clash. Scottish Premiership champions Celtic will take on RB Salzburg at Parkhead.

Former Celtic player turned football pundit Charlie Nicholas has predicted on Sky Sports that the Gers will only secure a draw against Vienna on Thursday.

It’s a must win game for Rangers. The Gers find themselves third in the Group G table, behind Villarreal and Rapid Vienna, both tied at seven points. A victory tonight will seal their qualification to the knock-out rounds.

Nicholas says that Steven Gerrard, the Rangers boss, has done extremely well to take the club to this stage, but he feels a draw is the more likely outcome.
