Former Rangers defender is hoping his old club can avoid the same Sparta Prague heart ache his side suffered in 1991
But Nigel Spackman is convinced the new manager bounce at Ibrox under Philippe Clement can spare the Light Blues any more Czech pain this week. The defender was part of Walter Smith’s side who suffered late agony against Sparta when the side’s men in the first round of the European Cup in 1991.
“It was desperately disappointing because even though it was difficult back then with the three foreigners rule, we had high hopes of doing something in the competition. We should have gone through. Spackman said: “Sparta were a strong side back then and they are a strong side now. They are top of their league and will be a tough prospect.
“There were a lot of positives at the weekend. Four goals and a clean sheet is the ideal start and it just changed the entire mood around the place. Philippe has come in and he will have his own ideas of how he wants to play. We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
