00:00Hello, this is Alan Pattullo at Ibrox, Fenerbahce are training just behind me, you might be
00:07able to see them from my shoulder, Jose Mourinho has just given an entertaining as ever press
00:15conference in the media room down below, he sounds pretty confident, pretty bullish about
00:24overturning this 2-0 deficit Fenerbahce have to achieve in order to get to the last day
00:31of the Europa League, 3-1 down of course on that first leg in Turkey when Rangers produce
00:39one of the great results away from home for a Scottish team under interim manager Barry
00:43Ferguson, both managers have been speaking today, Barry Ferguson was in earlier to preview
00:50tomorrow night, he's, well as he should be, he sounds fairly confident of managing to
00:58maintain that advantage over Fenerbahce but of course it isn't over until it's over, something
01:04Jose Mourinho was underlining again and again in his own press conference, he's come here
01:11he said with desire to give everything in order to try and get into the last 8, he said
01:21if they didn't think they could do so he would be concentrating on their Turkish League fixture
01:26this weekend but he's not, he fully expects to, well not expects but certainly wants his
01:32side to overturn the 2-0 deficit and believes they have the weapons to do so, fascinating
01:40night ahead, Jose Mourinho spoke also about his first time coming to Ibrox which was for
01:48an Old Firm derby back in 2003 shortly before his Porto side played Celtic in the April Cup
01:54final, he said no one recognised him then he was able to enjoy Ibrox, enjoy the atmosphere
02:00and then slip away with the crowds at the end of the match, that won't be the case tomorrow
02:05of course who will be the focus of attention, I'll be writing a matchbook from tomorrow night
