DANGER MAN
Rangers have been told they must stop Anders Christiansen if they are to overcome Malmo.
Danish midfield general Christiansen, 31, was last year voted the most valuable player in the Allsvenskan.
Now in his second stint at Malmo, Christiansen has three goals in 11 appearances already this season.
And ex-Sweden international Marcus Allbäck believes the playmaker can cause Gers problems in tonight’s Champions League third round qualifier.
He told ekatochklart.com: “Anders Christiansen is vital for their game. He’s experienced and has been their engine in midfield for some time.
“He’s been their best player for the last two years and is really vital for them.
“It’s going to be a tight game, it will be very tough.
“I’ve been following the Scottish league and in Scotland, you have two giants, but you don’t have that in Sweden; Malmo aren’t walking through the league.
“There are about five teams in Sweden that are fighting for the title, whereas Celtic and Rangers always fight for the title.
“Malmo are towards the top of the table and they’re a good team with a good mix of youth and experience.
“Malmo as a club has been the giant in Sweden for the last eight years when it comes to going to the Champions League and doing well there, which has given them a financial foundation, which is so important today.
“That gives them a massive advantage in Sweden. If there is a player on his way back to Sweden or might go to Sweden they are the team where they start looking, they have the muscle to bring home some players.
“It started when Markus Rosenberg came back to Malmo and he performed really well for them over a few years and they built a foundation, financially and it gave them a lot of experience.
“He and a few others showed that it is possible for a Swedish club to go to the Champions League and do well after many years.”
