Schalke coach accepts outsiders tag

Schalke boss Ralf Rangnick has labelled his side “clear outsiders” for the Champions League semi-final against Manchester United despite watching them ease past defending champions Inter Milan.

Schalke followed up their stunning 5-2 win at Inter last week with an impressive 2-1 win built on a resolute defensive display last night to set up a last-four clash with Alex Ferguson’s men.
