Romanian champions Unirea Urziceni will be hoping to repeat their giant killing act from Match Day 3 when they take on Walter Smith’s Rangers in Bucharest on Wednesday night. Sign up today and watch live streaming of Unirea Urziceni vs Rangers on your computer.
Unirea did their own chances of qualifying for the knockout stages no harm when they thrashed Rangers 4-1 at Ibrox a fortnight ago. Dan Petrescu’s men fell behind to an own goal from Ricardo Vilana, but were back on level terms when Marius Bilasco scored in the 32nd minute. Own goals from Kyle Lafferty and Lee McCulloch made it 3-1 to Unirea, and Pablo Brendan completed the rout midway through the second half.
Sorin Frunza’s brace and Bilasco’s late goal allowed Unirea to beat Universitatea Craiova 3-2 in the Romanian League on Saturday. Vasile Maftei will miss Unirea’s home game against Sevilla if he is booked here.
Rangers are stuck at the bottom of Group G, and have a mountain to climb after consecutive 4-1 defeats at home against Sevilla and Unirea. The Gers have picked up just one point from three fixtures, and face the humbling prospect of an early exit from Europe.
Algerian centre back Majid Bougherra has not recovered from his knee injury, but Lee McCulloch may figure in the game after making a sufficiently quick recovery from his injury.
Rangers have not scored a goal in three previous visits to Romania. Can they change that statistic by beating Unirea on Wednesday? Sign up today and watch Unirea Urziceni vs Rangers live.
