It was a battle of Britain in name only as Rangers left Anfield having barely fired off a shot in anger. But former Ibrox hero Davie Robertson reckons his old side can get their Champions League mission back on track by making Wednesday’s rematch with Liverpool a proper scrap at Ibrox.
Jurgen Klopp’s Premier League megastars barely had to get out of second gear as they rolled straight over the top of Gers on their way to last-week’s effortless 2-0 win. On a night when the travelling Light Blues faithful were hoping Gio van Bronckhorst’s team could summon the spirit of 1992 and pull off a repeat of the club’s famous victories over Leeds, it was the Scots who ended up scurrying for cover.
In truth, there was little sign of the blood and thunder approach that did for Howard Wilkinson’s team three decades back. Robertson was part of the team that twice stunned the English champions as they set off on a march that would take them agonisingly close to reaching the first ever Champions League final.
