Rangers take on Sparta Prague in the Europa League on Thursday night – and need to be wary of David Moberg Karlsson after he tormented Celtic last season.
The Gers lost their opening group stage game with a 2-0 defeat to Lyon and now need to hit back this week.
Rangers were dumped out of last season’s competition by Slavia Prague and now need to avoid a repeat from their rivals Sparta.
Moberg Karlsson a major threat
Sparta have a number of threats in their side, and Rangers should be wary of winger Moberg Karlsson.
The Swede isn’t necessarily a regular start for Sparta, and had to come off the bench against Zlin over the weekend.
Yet if given a chance against Rangers, he could cause mayhem – just as he did against Celtic last season.
Moberg Karlsson ran riot in a 4-1 win over Celtic last term, memorably dancing past Shane Duffy on his way to setting up a goal.
Moberg Karlsson was a constant threat that night. He cut in on his left foot to cause chaos, hitting the woodwork early on in a superb display that Rangers must remember.
Celtic ended up wanting to sign Moberg Karlsson
Moberg Karlsson was so good that night that Celtic ended up pursuing a move for Moberg Karlsson.
iSport in the Czech Republic reported that Celtic wanted to sign the former Sunderland winger in January.
Maybe Celtic will be watching Moberg Karlsson’s performance against Rangers if he is still on their radar.
Either way, Moberg Karlsson has destroyed Scottish competition before and Rangers must try to nullify him if he plays.
