Borussia Dortmund fans have same Rangers draw verdict as Yellow Wall prays for Ibrox 'experience' of a lifetime

The Borussia Dortmund verdict is in after drawing Rangers in the Europa League.

And most of the hardcore BVB support are thinking along the same lines: please let us go to Ibrox.

The Bundesliga side present fearsome opposition with star striker Erling Haaland – almost certain to move to an elite European superclub in the summer – playing a leading role.

For that reason the Yellow Wall supporters aren't too concerned about the quality of opponent but instead the potential for Covid and its new Omicron variant to burst the away day of a lifetime.

Dortmund will be the biggest name to come to Ibrox since Rangers returned to the European scene under Steven Gerrard, after the sides were paired in Monday's UEFA draw.

Anticipation is already building ahead of the February clashes but Dortmund fans are desperate to ensure a trip to Glasgow is on by the time the tie comes around.

Rhineland publication Der Western has been gathering up the opinions of fans over in Germany.

“God doesn't like football fans," a supporter said. "You get the Rangers in pandemic times of all times.

"I want to go there and experience the love of the Rangers fans. And ideally in a Stefan Klos jersey."

Another remarked: "Didn't know that I could hate Corona even more."

"Great opponent. If the virus allows it, it will be an atmospheric game."

And finally: "Flights and entry to Scotland is sometimes mega suboptimal."
