Union Bears show Rangers dedication as ultras march to Anfield with pyro show and wall of noise

The Union Bears have launched a march from Everton's Goodison Park to Anfield ahead of Rangers' huge Champions League match this evening.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men meet Liverpool at Anfield in their third Group A game tonight, looking for their first points after heavy losses to Ajax and Napoli in their opening two encounters. A return leg at Ibrox beckons next week but the club's ultras groups have shown they are up for the game with a march to the English Premier League side's stadium.

Setting off from nearby Goodison, they have gone to the home of The Reds in droves, armed with pyro and support of their team, singing loudly about the club. They will hope Rangers match their energy off the park with a performance on it, and that is something captain James Tavernier is keen to deliver: “They are world class players.

“So we have just got to try and limit those chances. That’s what we’ve got to do, try and limit the chances and put our own stamp on it.

“We have to be brave on the ball. We know they’ve got one of the best front threes in the world and we have to try and keep them quiet as best we can and put our stamp on the game to create our chances.

“That’s what we will be looking to do. I’m sure they’ll have a lot of the ball being at home, but we’re going to look to try and frustrate them and be brave on the ball when we do get it."
