Marco Negri emphasized the significance of securing the Viaplay Cup, suggesting that it could play a pivotal role in “gluing the team” together and boosting their confidence. With arch-rivals Celtic no longer in contention for the cup, Rangers find themselves in an enviable position to seize the opportunity and make a profound impact on their campaign.
Negri pointed out that the Viaplay Cup final is scheduled for 17th December, providing Rangers’ manager, Beale, with ample time to change the atmosphere in the dressing room and elevate team morale. It is a chance to instill the winning mentality that is crucial for success both domestically and in European competitions.
As Negri wisely noted, confidence is the lifeblood of any competitive team. In the high-stakes world of football, where margins for error are slim, self-assurance can make the difference between victory and defeat. Winning the Viaplay Cup, therefore, holds greater significance than merely lifting a trophy. It has the potential to breathe new life into the squad, particularly the new arrivals, and create a cohesive unit that can take on any challenge.
Negri emphasized, “So winning the Viaplay Cup could be even more important for this team than just lifting a trophy. It would give the new players a boost and help glue the team. I think it’s so important that Rangers do not let this opportunity go.”
