Found at the end of July lesson Unionists in the Swede Gustaf Nilsson finally a new striker. Union took four points from the first two competition matches. Last Friday, the first win of the season was booked in-house at Charleroi (1-0).

Just like for Union, the 2021/22 season was also one to remember for Rangers. The Scottish top club had to swallow a elimination in the third preliminary round of the Champions League, but then made it through to the Europa League final. The Gers eventually lost 4-5 on penalties against Eintracht Frankfurt. Nevertheless, Van Bronckhorst and his men can be proud of this European campaign. The Dutch coach had to watch this summer as the club sold Calvin Bassey for 23 million euros excluding bonuses to Ajax, but immediately found a replacement in the person of Ben Davies (Liverpool). Rangers kicked off the new season on Saturday with a 1-2 win over Livingston.

It earned him his debut in November last year for the Red Devils on. At Rangers, eyes are on James Tavernier. The right-back was responsible for the winning goal against Livingston last weekend and scored no fewer than seven goals in the last nine games of last season’s Europa League campaign.
