Michael Owen predicts Rangers win in Braga Europa League quarter-final clash

Michael Owen reckons Rangers can do the business in their Europa League quarter-final first-leg.

Gers have dispatched of Borussia Dortmund and Red Star Belgrade this season so far to make the last eight.

And Owen believes they can see off Braga, too.

Despite their Premiership position, six points behind Celtic, their confidence is flowing in Europe and they'll want to make the most of that on Thursday evening.

For Liverpool legend Owen the former striker believes Gio van Bronckhorst's side can do the business in Portugal and set themselves up for an exciting second-leg at Ibrox in another week's time with a semi-final spot up for grabs.

Speaking to BetVictor Owen said: "This is a huge game for Rangers’ season.

"After a disappointing defeat against Celtic at the weekend, the pressure is really on them.

"They’ve done well on their travels, but I worry about the morale now. Braga are a decent side and beat Benfica at the weekend. I think they’ll edge this 2-1."

Gers will be without Alfredo Morelos for their crunch matches as the striker is out of action with a muscle injury.
