Reports: “I see no problem,” the Malmö boss said in response to the Rangers joke before their encounter against Philippe Clement’s team.
Malmo’s choice to subtly make fun of Rangers on social media in advance of their next match is acceptable
and just part of the game.
Expressen quotes Henrik Rydström, the manager of the Swedish team,
as saying that comments against Philippe Clement’s team are fine.
Rangers, hoping to bounce back from the disappointment of missing out on the Champions League
, will travel to take on the Swedish team in the first matchday of the revamped league system for the Europa League tomorrow.
Malmo sought to revive their long-standing rivalry this week on social media with a sly jab at the other side.
The two sides have previously met in Europe.
Just “Welcome back to Malmo Rangers,” read the post.
The phrase “We’ve missed you” was accompanied with a movie that highlighted their past encounters,
which had frequently ended well for them.
In 2011 Rangers played Malmo in Champions League qualification, however they were eliminated from the competition with a 1-0 loss at Ibrox and a 1-1 draw in Sweden.
In 2021, the two teams rematched in the same round, with the Swedish team coming out on top again after victories of 2-1 at home and at Ibrox.
The Rangers‘ 2011 demotion to the fourth level was even mocked in the film, although at least it mentioned that they made it to the Europa League final in 2021.
Henrik Rydström feels that it was an attempt at lighthearted history matters.
However, he added, “it is impossible to measure how much (history matters).”
Both the players and the coaches are new. However, we also discuss similar issues in the Allsvenskan,
such as AIK’s prolonged lack of success in this league.
Additionally, there are new coaches and players, but history can still exist in some way.
From what I’ve observed, Scottish supporters are fervent and content. I don’t see any issues with this.
