 ESPN.com Soccernet Scotland: News - Popescu recalls Ibrox memories
Twelve years have elapsed since Gheorghe Popescu last set foot inside Ibrox but, as the Galatasaray defender prepares for next month's return, his memories remain vivid of an epic European clash with Rangers.

'We scored early in the second match at Ibrox to take a 3-0 lead on aggregate, but Rangers came back so strongly to win 2-1 on the night and they almost turned the tie around,' said Popescu, who successfully walked a yellow card tightrope in Wednesday's 3-2 win for the Turks to avoid suspension.
