Ferencvaros vs Rangers prediction
Following his surprise departure from Maccabi Tel-Aviv about a year ago, Ferencvaros boss Robbie Keane has done a noticeably good job in the UEFA Europa League but their domestic form has been slow. Their most recent outing in this competition saw them share a 1-1 draw with Fenerbahce in Istanbul.
After a woeful start to the season under Russell Martin, Rangers took the decision to part company with the former Southampton boss and replace him with former Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl. The Bears have been improved since that decision but their form in Europe has remained poor with just a point collected from their five games so far.
Rangers’ performance level in Europe has improved with results improving domestically but this still seems too tough a test for them this season in central Europe.
