13/3/2008 - Werder Bremen vs Rangers 2nd Leg UEFA Cup

Rangers will be in good spirits for this live online commentary UEFA Cup 2nd leg match against Werder Bremen after shocking revelations of a bust up between two key players of the German team. Diego and Aaron Hunt had a fisticuff just moments after the first leg in their dressing room over unspecified events, leaving both players handed huge fines by the club. The issue did not end there as Hunt came out to reveal what had developed and sounded his displeasure at being slapped with the same punishment for being less culpable compared to his Brazilian teammate, who allegedly punched Hunt in the back and assaulted the striker. Diego has since then categorically denied these allegations and did not speak more about it. However, this growing unrest and animosity within the club would not be good news for Werder Bremen fans as judging from Wednesday's results, making up a 2-0 loss from the first leg is incredibly doable, especially for a team with Werder Bremen's attacking talent and home ground advantage.

While the incident would have given Rangers some boost, they would refuse to believe that Werder Bremen will be an easy picking for this live online commentary UEFA Cup 2nd leg match. What Walter Smith's men will concentrate on for this game would be their own game and strengths, with a European defensive solidarity and also growing tactical maturity developed over two seasons of growing stability in the Old Firm club. Some additional news ahead of the game might boost their morale further, with the Celtic draw with Dundee United handing them an increasing advantage in their race for the Scottish Premier League title. Rangers also go into this live online commentary UEFA Cup match against Werder Bremen with no fresh injury concerns other than Daniel Cousin with a broken jaw suffered in the first leg, and a healthy two goal lead to protect. While Celtic unfortunately left the European scene for this season last week, Rangers will attempt to remain the sole Scottish representative after tonight.
