Before their Europa League round of 16 matchup with Rangers, Benfica is “riddled with weaknesses.” Journalist Stephen McGowan claims as much, with the first leg scheduled for this Thursday, March 7, in Portugal.Rangers will play the second leg at Ibrox on March 14 and go to the knockout stages after winning their group.For the Scottish Daily Mail, McGowan stated, “Benfica are a team riddled with weaknesses despite a turnover of £167 million – almost exactly double the Rangers figure of £84 million” (page 69, 6 March). The Ibrox team has a history of taking advantage of their European rivals’ unrest, and a 5-0 loss to Porto over the weekend has put head coach Roger Schmidt under a lot of strain. “The Portuguese champions have been lacklustre in Europe, despite bringing in Argentine World Cup winner Angel Di Maria for a second stint and having two exceptional players in 20-year-old Portuguese international central defender Antonio Silva and 19-year-old midfielder Joao Neves.They were defeated by Real Sociedad and Inter Milan in their Champions League group, having lost their opening four games. They also survived a close match against Toulouse, a French midtable team, in the Europa League play-off round. In the Europa League, can Rangers defeat Benfica? Benfica has undoubtedly had a difficult season in Europe, but they still have a chance to win something because to their tenacity and strong team.The Champions League trophy will obviously disappoint them, but the Europa League trophy would still represent a tremendous accomplishment for the Portuguese team.But the Gers are in their way, and considering how they won a tough Group C, they should be quietly confident.The Ibrox team nearly didn’t get it to the following round, but an incredible series of circumstances allowed them to secure first place. However, Philippe Clement’s team enters the match fresh off a heartbreaking 2-1 Scottish Premiership victory at Ibrox on Saturday (2 March) over Motherwell.Neither team wants to lose in Portugal on Thursday night, especially after Benfica also dropped their match over the weekend. In other Rangers news, following their performance in the Scottish Youth Cup, the team has a bright future ahead of them. GET MORE RELATED CONTENT ON SPORTWORDS.CO.UK

Simon Jordan, a claims that Philippe Clement, the manager of Rangers, is “an equal” of Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers and that the Belgian has given the Old Firm title competition an extra advantage.With both teams losing their most recent league games—the Gers falling to Motherwell and Celtic losing to Hearts at Tynecastle—the Light Blues are currently two points ahead of the Hoops in the Scottish Premiership.Although Jordan has acknowledged that Brendan Rodgers annoys him, he has also acknowledged that Clement has amazed him since coming to Glasgow, implying that Clement has forced Jordan to support Rangers in this year’s championship game.He stated, “I am quietly, without too much partisan rooting for Rangers to win the SPFL,” in a talkSPORT interview on Tuesday, March 5, at 10:08.I’m not sure why, but Brendan sometimes frustrates me, and some of his attitude at Leicester wasn’t very nice.I like to see Scottish football gain popularity and see two strong Old Firm teams contending head-to-head, turning the competition into a championship match and providing Scottish football a competitive advantage. “I have to admit, I chuckled to myself when I saw Celtic lose because you have a really good manager in the Rangers dugout now who is on par with Celtic.”Will Rangers be able to defeat Celtic, their Old Firm rivals, in this season’s Premiership title match? The Scottish championship race is quite well-positioned right now, and although if Rangers are the slight favourites, it would be foolish to write out Rodgers’ team because they have proven themselves on this course many times in the past.Except for Celtic, who they have lost to in both of their Old Firm matches this season—one of those losses came while Michael Beale was manager—Clement’s team has demonstrated that they are capable of defeating everyone they play this season.The remaining two Old Firm matches will probably be critical as this race comes down to the wire, therefore if the Gers want to defeat their Glasgow rivals to the title this season, they must improve their record in those games. There is still plenty of Premiership games to be played before anyone wins the trophy, but maybe Clement’s team can do their fans and Jordan proud by defeating Celtic this season.

Roger Schmidt, the Benfica manager, may lose his job if his team loses against Rangers in the Europa League, according to José Manuel Antunes.On March 4, the former vice president of the Portuguese powerhouses stated to Radio Renascenca’s Bola Branca that he couldn’t see the German team surviving another loss to the Light Blues and going home empty-handed after their 5-0 hammering at the hands of rivals Porto the day before.On Thursday, March 7, Philippe Clement will lead his team to Lisbon for the opening leg of their last -16 match; a week later, on March 14, they will return to Ibrox.In English, Antunes stated: “As a fan, I would see [Schmidt’s stay] with difficulty, if we fell with Rangers, didn’t win the championship and the Cup. But it will always be a decision by the management.” “It seems unfathomable that such a catastrophe occurred.It’s a humiliating loss for the people of Benfica.It’s totally nonsensical; it didn’t resemble Benfica. Santa Clara gave a lot more responses. The unexpected 2-1 loss to Motherwell on Saturday, March 2, gave Clement his first taste of defeat at Ibrox as Rangers manager, but it was nothing compared to the prelude for the Gers’ opponents.It would seem that the worst preparation for a major European matchup was the sweeping loss to a Porto team that entered the game trailing Benfica by nine points. The outcome also passed up the opportunity to return to the top of the Liga Portugal.The Light Blues will need to pray that the setback doesn’t spark a huge positive response and that the pressure to bounce back makes it possible to return to Glasgow with a successful outcome.Even if Clement would dearly love to repeat Giovanni van Bronchhorst’s thrilling run to this competition’s final two seasons ago, he will understand that the SPFL championship fight takes precedence over all else, and Celtic missed the chance to capitalise on the Rangers error. The Scottish Cup match against Hibs is positioned between the two legs against Benfica, so by the time the Belgian plays for his team in league action again, he will know if this is his final opportunity to add another trophy to the League Cup this season.
