Group E
By James
Rangers kicked off their UEFA Champions League campaign against Montenegrin side FK Zeta in the second round of qualifiers. After a 3-0 victory on aggregate we then moved on to Serbian Champions Crvena zvezda and put them out in the final round qualifiers 1-0 on aggregate thanks to a late Nacho Novo goal in Glasgow. Now in the UEFA Champions League group stage Rangers couldn't have picked a more difficult group if they had tried. They have been put in group e along with Spanish Giants Barcelona; French champions Lyon and German champions Stuttgart. Now fans of Rangers can look forward to the likes of Ronaldinho, Henry, Messi, Juninho, Fred, Gomez & da Silva coming to Ibrox.
