Goldson's inspiring Rangers Europa League speech as he makes 'haven't got team like us' statement

Goldson's inspiring Rangers Europa League speech as he makes 'haven't got team like us' statement

CONNOR GOLDSON delivered an inspiring speech to his team-mates just seconds before they began warming up for their Europa League semi-final match against RB Leipzig.

Rangers had to come back from a one-goal deficit to make it to the final of the European competition after a late loss in Germany.

But Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side turned in an excellent performance in front of a packed Ibrox to advance after winning 3-1 in Glasgow.

And before the Rangers player went out to warm-up for the match, Goldson barked a message to pump up his team-mates.

Footage captured in the the Rangers TV Inside Ibrox video from the Euro triumph revealed Goldson's words ahead of the match.

The defender shouted: “I don’t care who they are, what their name is, what they’re worth.

"They haven’t got a team like us. Come on, no respect. Lets go.”

Goals from James Tavernier, Glen Kamara and John Lundstram were enough to overcome the first-leg loss and Christopher Nkunku's strike in Glasgow.

It sets up a final against Eintracht Frankfurt in Seville later this month. 

After today's win over Dundee United Van Bronckhorst revealed he's holding out hope that Kemar Roofe will return from fitness to feature.

He said: “He (Roofe) is going to work hard to make it. Of course he didn’t make for last Thursday’s game. That means he’s got two weeks to prepare more.

“All he wants is to be available for those games so he will push himself. My medical staff will do everything possible to get him fit.

“We have to wait and see how it goes but the intentions are there to have him fit.”
