Belgian shock-troops Union Saint Galloise insist they don’t fear the might of the Rangers travelling army - after opening the doors to thousands more of them for next month’s crunch Champions League eliminator. Record Sport revealed that the first leg clash between the sides will not go ahead at Union ’s historic home ground on the outskirts of Brussels.
Talks have begun to switch the August 2 showdown away from the 9,000 capacity Stade Jospeh Marien to a bigger venue - with Leuven's The King Power At Den Dreef Stadium set to win out.
And Union’s director of sports Chris O’Loughlin confirmed: “We’re speaking to Rangers today and there are logistics to be discussed in terms of where the game will actually be played.
It won’t be able to go ahead at our stadium, no. It would have been very special but unfortunately there are modern day realities which will prevent that.”But Irishman O’Loughlin insists his club’s players will not be fazed by the size of the task of facing Rangers after stunning big clubs all across Belgium throughout the last domestic season - Union’s first in the top flight for 48 years.
