What a bad game that Chelsea game was. Too bad that Rangers game wasnt on TV here, I really wanted to see them play before they left the tournament.

I agree, i really like watching Rangers play, they have wicked support even when away and I like the gritty style of play from the Scottish league strangely - I tend to watch any Scottish teams play in europe and i love the rangers celtic games.
