Liverpool legend Owen writes off Rangers as Anfield threat

Liverpool legend Michael Owen has dismissed Rangers chances for this week's Champions League clash at Anfield.

Anfield legend Owen says there's a gulf in class, and can only see one winner, despite his old club struggling for form.

He said: “It's amazing they have never met, but Rangers won't have played a team like Liverpool for a long time, and they're going to need to pull a miracle off to win at Anfield. They have the pedigree and experience of big games, but it's unlikely they will win. The gap in player quality is big.

“This sort of match would usually be a classic. Rangers are used to these big games, but I don't think they are used to playing a team as good as Liverpool.

“With the poor results they have had in the group so far, they will be a bit nervous.

“It might be a different story at Ibrox, but not at Anfield."
