Rangers v FCSB Predictions and Free Bet Tips
Lewis Watson 
Such is life in the Rangers hot-seat that the vultures are already beginning to circle above the head of Philippe Clement.
The Belgian’s tactics have been questioned following recent humblings at the hands of Celtic, Lyon and… Kilmarnock, meaning that a positive result at home to the Romanian champions on Thursday night is now considered a non-negotiable.
But FCSB will have different plans at Ibrox, and after going nine games unbeaten in all competitions will travel from Bucharest with confidence.Â

Rangers v FCSB Predictions and Free Bet Tips
Rangers vs FCSB Preview
One win and one defeat leaves Rangers bang in the middle of the congested Europa League standings, with FCSB’s visit to Ibrox on Thursday arguably one of their more favourable fixtures on paper.
But the Romanian champions will be the first to tell you that football isn’t played on hârtie (paper) and sit pretty in fourth spot following wins over PAOK and RFS.
FCSB are the team with confidence heading into Matchday 3, but the Scottish outfit will be eager to remind them of the suggested gulf between leagues.
Birligea the most likely party-pooper
With four goals in his last five appearances for FCSB, 24-year-old striker Daniel Birligea is tipped to cause Rangers’ back-line a few issues on Thursday night.
The in-form striker has already proved his €2.5 million summer fee from CFR Cluj to be a relative bargain and will be looking to add a nought onto his price tag by impressing against an injury-stricken Rangers.
The Romanian marksman is 7/2 with Betfred to find the net anytime at Ibrox and will be encouraged by the hosts conceding five across their last three games.
Rangers to bounce back
Despite the expectation for there to be a couple of scares during the 90 minutes, Rangers should be able to harness the Ibrox atmosphere of a European night and take all three points.
FCSB's recent form could turn out to be a bit of a red herring – if you sign up to the xG way of life, the Romanian champions are conceding a lot of big chances and have been fortunate to escape recent outings with clean sheets (just don't tell their goalkeeper Stefan Tarnovanu that).
A win for Rangers with both teams scoring weighs up at 2/1 with Betfred and looks a good choice in what could be an entertaining night in Glasgow.
