McCulloch: Exciting times for Rangers

RANGERS forward Lee McCulloch believes his club are on the brink of something special after helping them record one of the best results in their history.

The Gers’ superb start to the season continued on Tuesday night when they ripped Lyon apart in a smash-and-grab Champions League raid in the Rhone-Alps region.

The unexpected — but fully-deserved — 3-0 win at the Stade Gerland moves Walter Smith’s side a step closer to a place in the tournament’s knockout stages for the second time in three years. They have beaten both the French and German champions in the space of a fortnight and sit level on points with Celtic at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League — all with a reconstructed team thrown together by Smith in a chaotic Ibrox summer.
