苏格兰超级联赛老牌劲旅格拉斯哥流浪者队12月6日将在欧洲冠军联赛H组最后一轮比赛中，主场迎战积12分已经出线的意大利国际米兰队。如果能够获胜，流浪者队将积9分取得小组出线资格。如果打平，流浪者队要想出线，则要寄希望于小组赛另一场阿特梅迪亚队同波尔图队的比赛也以平局告终。流浪者队如果最终晋级16强，他们将成为苏超历史上第一支进入欧洲冠军联赛淘汰赛阶段的球队。

    据路透社12月5日报道，在苏超联赛中已经连续9场不胜的格拉斯哥流浪者队目前非常希望借助于在冠军联赛中的胜利来提升全队士气。在苏超积分榜上，流浪者队目前比“领头羊”凯尔特人队落后17分，要想扭转颓势绝非易事。9场不胜的成绩也创下了该俱乐部建队132年以来的最差战绩纪录。好在队中的一些主力球员近期纷纷从伤病困扰中康复，重新回到了球场。特别是上周六联赛对阵福克尔克一役，因膝伤已经连续错过11场比赛的前锋托马斯·布菲尔正式归队。“托马斯的回归让我们队的前景突然变得光明起来”，主教练麦克利什表示，“他在比赛中非常活跃，他的归队对我们帮助太大了。当一些主力球员长时间不能上场时，他们对全队的影响是显而易见的。托马斯一回来就给全队带来了新气象”。

    流浪者队本轮的对手、意大利国际米兰队本周日（11日）将在联赛中同AC米兰过招。据估计，国米队主教练曼奇尼将会更多地派上二线球员上场，以便让主力球员得到休息。然而曼奇尼对此却不以为然。在3日联赛中1：0战胜阿斯科利后，曼奇尼表示：“我们要尊重比赛，尊重对手。虽然我们已经晋级，但我们去那里就是为了取胜。”

    由于腿部肌肉有些轻微拉伤，因此国米乌拉圭籍球员雷科巴很有可能缺席本场比赛。

    Rangers face Inter Milan in Champions League Group H on Tuesday needing victory to make sure of becoming the first Scottish team to reach the competition's knockout stages.

    After a dismal run of results in the Premier League, however, the match against the group winners could be the last in charge for manager Alex McLeish.

    Chairman David Murray has given the beleaguered coach until the first week in December to turn around a wretched season, in which they slipped 17 points behind arch-rivals Celtic after throwing away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Falkirk on Saturday.

    That was Rangers' ninth game in a row without a victory, the worst run in their 132-year history.

    They lie second in the group standings with six points from five games, six adrift of Inter, and a draw would put them through if Artmedia Bratislava fail to beat Porto.

    McLeish described strikers strikers Dado Prso and Nacho Novo as "long shots" to play as they recover from a hamstring injury and broken foot respectively.

    Thomas Buffel, who had missed the last 11 games with a knee injury, added much-needed creative spark against Falkirk and McLeish believes his comeback highlighted how much Rangers have been affected by injuries to their top players.

    "The introduction of Thomas brightened things up and he looked really lively," McLeish said. "It was great to have him back. When you lose your top players for a long period of time, it can affect things greatly but you see the difference he made coming into the team."

    Inter, who play arch domestic rivals AC Milan next Sunday, may be tempted to rest key players but coach Roberto Mancini insists they are taking the game seriously.

    "It's right to honour the match," he said after a laboured 1-0 win over Ascoli in Serie A on Saturday.

    "We will go there to win and honour the group even if we are calmer because we have already qualified."

    Uruguayan striker Alvaro Recoba has a slight muscle injury and is likely to miss the game in Glasgow although Mancini has Nigerian Obafemi Martins and Argentine Julio Ricardo Cruz as options to partner Brazilian Adriano.

    Mancini may start players who have been on the sidelines recently including central defender Marco Materazzi and midfielder Cristiano Zanetti.
