“I’ll have my fingers crossed that they go all the way for sure. If that is the case then it would be brilliant, but I think both of us have got our hands full in the semis, that’s for sure.”
Stuart Pearce would love nothing more than to see an English/Scottish final but makes it clear there’s a long way to go before the excitement can start despite only four games being involved.
He’s clearly hoping Rangers can pull off a massive shock by beating Leipzig over the two legs of their game on Thursday and next week.
But they have a huge job on their hands with injuries to Alfredo Morelos, Aaron Ramsey, Kemar Roofe and Ianis Hagi leaving the team bare up top as they prepare to take on the German outfit Leipzig and are big underdogs to complete a path into the final.
Nor as the former England icon – who has just turned his 60th birthday 0 ready to accept the Hammers are facing anything other than a really tough job against Frankfurt although Rangers have so far surpassed all expectations to reach the semi final stage.
“An England/Scotland final would be brilliant but we’re some way off that. Rangers have done great and those nights at Ibrox have been absolutely scintillating,” Pearce told TalkSPORT – as per Football Scotland.
