Rangers manager Steven Gerrard says he is unsure what to expect of Porto when the Portuguese side line up at Ibrox in the Europa League group game this evening.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference yesterday, the Gers boss said he believes that Porto will set up in a similar way to how they played in Portugal, using possession football, having an attacking mindset and utilising four offensive players, but he is equally prepared for a defensive setup from Sergio Conceicao’s team:

After being more than a match for Porto in the 1-1 draw in the first fixture two weeks ago, the Light Blues will head into the match tonight confident of getting the victory.
There is enough quality in the squad to secure a win at home, and if they do manage to grab the three points, they will put themselves in a great position heading into their last two matches.
