Europa League 2010 2011 rangers psv eindhoven

uefa europa league 2010/11
round of 16 second leg
17th march 2011: 
rangers v. psv eindhoven

Having secured a creditable 0-0 draw from the first leg of their round of 16 clash in Holland last week, Walter Smith's men now find the onus is on them to attack in front of their own fans.
It is the first time in four years that the Light Blues will run out at Ibrox for the deciding leg of a continental encounter and Smith accepts he will have to adapt his tactics for the encounter.


The Gers boss has preferred to employ a 5-4-1 formation in Europe this term, which helped them reach this stage of the tournament with an away goals triumph over Sporting Lisbon in the last round.
 But it is Fred Rutten's PSV who go into the tie knowing that a scoring draw will be enough to see them through to the quarter-finals following the stalemate at the Philips Stadion.

The Eredivisie outfit have a dismal record against Scottish sides in Europe, with no wins from seven fixtures, and have failed to triumph in their five previous matches against Rangers.
