Overview

• Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has declared his team better than Rangers despite their 3-1 first-leg loss in Istanbul, marking his first two-goal home defeat in European competition.
• Rangers' interim manager Barry Ferguson, with just 270 minutes of top-flight managerial experience, led his team to a surprising victory using a defensive, counterattacking strategy.
• Fenerbahce will need a two-goal victory in Glasgow to force extra time, a feat they have struggled to achieve in recent European knockout away matches.
• Mourinho has hinted at tactical adjustments and urged his players to embrace the intense atmosphere at Ibrox, where Rangers have lost their last three home games in other competitions.
• The return of midfielder Fred from suspension could bolster Fenerbahce, but Mourinho faces mounting scrutiny with domestic league success also slipping away.
