Red Star boss Dejan Stankovic watched side put in the perfect preparation for the Europa League showdown against Rangers – then claimed the Ibrox giants are huge favourites.
The Serbian champions were celebrating a milestone just like Rangers at the weekend as they marked their 77th birthday in style when their infamous Delije fans group unleashed a spectacular fireworks display inside their Marakana Stadium while their hammering of bottom side Novi Pazar was still going on.
Red Star cruised to a 5-0 win that they could have easily have doubled if they hadn’t relaxed after storming into a four-goal lead inside the first quarter of the match.
