Alan Brazil warns Rangers a 'gubbing' is coming as Gaby Agbonlahor puzzled by Celtic approach

Confident Alan Brazil has told Rangers supporters to enjoy their European tie with Braga because more pain awaits them against Celtic.

The Parkhead fan is a paid-up member to the Ange Postecoglou supporters' club after being initially left puzzled by the Australian's appointment last summer.

Brazil is convinced Celtic will be too good for Gio van Bronckhorst's side when they face again in Scottish Cup semi final on April 17, as well as the final league match which will follow shortly after.

And the broadcaster told a talkSPORT caller and those of a Light Blue persuasion to soak up their Europa League exploits as it represents the best chance of lifting a trophy.

Speaking on his radio show, Brazil said: " Rangers go there with every chance, Big Fraz.

"But you are going to be gubbed in the semi final at (Scottish Cup) Hampden, we're going to beat you at Parkhead, so this is your last chance, Big Fraz.

"Enjoy!."

Co-host Gabriel Agbonlahor believes Rangers have a real chance of reaching the last four of the Europa League if things go their way.

However, the former Aston Villa striker has told Van Bronckhorst a coaching tweak is need to get the best out of Alfredo Morelos' understudy Kemar Roofe.

Agbonlahor said: "They'll miss Morelos up front as they looked a bit shy up front against Celtic.

"It was more the service (than Roofe himself), they weren't really playing to his strengths, a lot of balls around his neck.

"Maybe Morelos, being a bigger striker, would have been able to hold up.

"That's the only place that's going to let Rangers down.

"But the've got the team spirit, the atmosphere, hopefully they get a decent result tonight and get them back to Ibrox and anything can happen."
