Good news: four players will be coming back to Celtic

Malmo ace Gabriel Busanello won’t underestimate Rangers – after being blown away by CELTIC in the Champions League.

 

The Brazilian defender expects a tough game against Philippe Clement’s side in their Europa League opener on Thursday night. Especially after he watched their Old Firm rivals batter Slovan Bratislava 5-1 in midweek. But Busanello says the Swedes aren’t scared of Rangers as they look to pick up three points on home soil and get their Euro campaign off to a flyer.The Malmo left-back said: “We’re playing in our home stadium so our objective is always to win. Or at the very least in this competition, you have to avoid defeat. Rangers are a huge club with so much history and some excellent players. They will be a difficult opponent for us but we don’t fear them. It’s a level game but we want to own the match from the start.Of course, Scottish football has improved in the last few years. You never get an easy game against a Scottish team. A clear example of that was the Champions League match this week involving Celtic. That showed us that we’ll have a hard game against Rangers and we’ll need to fight for the three points. Our challenge is to win and then follow our dream, which is to reach the next phase of the Europa League.The new format in the competitions means you must have success at home. Getting three points on Thursday will be crucial to where we finish in the table. Any error at home will be very damaging to our chances so we can’t fail against Rangers.”

 

Busanello picked out Ibrox pair Jack Butland and Oscar Cortes as key players for Clement’s side before Gers’ trip to Scandinavia. The 25-year-old expects a tight game but believes Henrik Rydstrom’s men can nick it at the Eleda Stadion.
