'Incapable' - Keith Jackson makes new Rangers prediction before Olympiacos

Keith Jackson has predicted that Rangers will return from their UEFA Europa League trip to Olympiacos this week empty-handed.

The Light Blues will look to build on their 2-1 League Cup semi-final win against Motherwell when they visit Athens on Thursday (7 November).

Having lost three of their seven games in all competitions since October, Philippe Clement’s side are in dire need of an unbeaten run to get their season going, but Jackson doesn’t see that happening here.

Making his predictions, Jackson said via the Daily Record‘s print edition (4 November, page 43): “No. It could be another long night in Athens for a side which seems incapable of protecting itself on its travels even on home soil.”

Can Rangers defy Keith Jackson and beat Olympiacos?

It is no secret that Rangers have been underwhelming under Clement this season, falling nine points behind Celtic and Aberdeen in the title race just 10 games into the league campaign. Their performance in the victory over Motherwell at the weekend was also largely unconvincing.

However, it would not be wise to rule out a Gers win in Athens as they have shown they can do well in Europe. They have notably won two of their three Europa League games so far, thrashing FCSB 4-0 in their last outing.

Olympiacos, for their part, are not in the best form of either, having won only four of their last seven games across all competitions.

Like Rangers, they have won two of their three Europa League games so far, with their only defeat coming against Lyon, who Clement and his side also lost to.

Therefore, it will be a huge boost of confidence for the Ibrox outfit if they can come away from Greece with all three points.
