Caught a bit of the sevco game and they will get pumped when they meet a half decent side.
Certainly St Johnstone can claim to be at a disadvantage with the timing as the Lithuanian league is midway through its season, so that really makes it tough for a team who wouldn't normally be even in pre-season training lets alone match ready!! Rangers though were playing a team in the same situation as themselves, although as a team this was the first time they had played together. They got the win and a clean sheet and should progress to the next round but their report will certainly saw "Must do better" in the games to come!!
