Kris Commons reckons the first 30 minutes at a raucous Ibrox are key to Rangers' Champions League salvage mission. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side welcome Union Saint-Gilloise to Glasgow on Tuesday night in their bid to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit.
Rangers were left reeling in Belgium amid a dismal performance that left their group stage hopes on a knife edge. But they've been handed a welcome boost by Alfredo Morelos' goalscoring return in the weekend win over Kilmarnock, with the Colombian now pushing to start against Union.
Commons insists the opening half hour could be pivotal and believes Van Bronckhorst's side must lean on the Ibrox atmosphere to rattle their visitors. He pointed to Celtic staging a comeback against Shakhtar Karagandy in 2013 as the blueprint to follow. The former Parkhead star wrote in his Daily Mail column: "It's all about how Rangers start. The atmosphere will be electric and they have to feed off that and keep the fans with them.
