Sturm Graz supporters taunt Rangers with 'do it again' Europa League tifo

Sturm Graz supporters taunted Rangers ahead of the Europa League clash on Thursday night.

Fans of the Austrian club unveiled a stadium-wide display ahead of kick-off for the second league phase matchday at the Merkur Arena.

The display, which featured black, white and green cards held aloft right round the stadium, cited Sturm Graz's win over Rangers in the Champions League 25 years ago.

The winning squad from that day were depicted, as well as the goalscorers Sergei Yuran and Gilbert Prilasnig.

A large banner below the player images read: "Come on boys, do it again."

Sturm Graz won the match 2-0 on October 25, 2000. Arthur Numan was sent off for Rangers on the night.

Earlier in 2000, Rangers had claimed a 5-0 victory over Sturm Graz in the group stage home tie between the clubs.

Michael Mols, Ronald de Boer, Jorg Albertz, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Billy Dodds scored on that night on September 12, 2000.
