Bursaspor will not were Celtic uniform!

No green-and-white hooped strip,uniforms for Bursaspor at Ibrox...


Bursaspor coach Ertugrul Saglam will not inflame the situation ahead of their Champions League clash at Rangers.

Bursaspor will not wear their green-and-white hooped strip, similar to that of the Govan club's Old Firm rivals Celtic.

Instead, the visitors will settle for an 'Ajax style' outfit in the club's traditional colours.

Coach of Bursaspor Ertugrul Saglam said: "We we will wear our Ajax-type strip, the same as we did against Valencia.

"We expect to see controlled aggression from our players but there is no need to increase tension in important matches such as this.

"Last year, we didn't win only the league title but also the Fair Play league. We believe in those principles.

"We want to play hard and play to the maximum with controlled aggression, but without any unnecessary provocation. That is our way."



On the other hand, Rangers manager Walter Smith insists Bursaspor should not be written off simply because they are one of the lesser known teams in the Champions League this season.

Smith said,"If we were playing Galatasaray or Fenerbahce or Besiktas, then everyone would say it would be a really difficult game. Bursaspor have shown to be better than those sides over the last year or so and that's the standard they are at."


He also said, "They lost their first game at home to Valencia, I watched the game and it wasn't a game that you would say was a 4-0 game."
