Philippe Clement has warned he doesn't want mathematicians in his dressing room as he ruled out planning calculations to progress in the Europa League.
The stalemate against Sparta Prague leaves Rangers third in Group C but level on points with their opponents who sit ahead on goal difference. Aris Limassol are one point behind on three points.
However, Clement has insisted he is determined that he and his players only focus on themselves and put any calculations over a route to qualification to one side.
Asked to assess the rest of the campaign, Clement said: "I am not thinking about it I'm looking at Sunday. I also don't want my players to think like that, I don't want mathematicians in my dressing room I want players who go full every game, and to focus on that.
"It was an important point, good mentality and resilience to keep a clean sheet, a very good reaction in the second half with some good chances and good football. These are the things to take away and now full focus on our recovery.
"We have the next game and that needs to be out of focus and not calculating and looking at others in the group. No, we need to look at ourselves. Develop physically and tactically, mentally I've seen two good games where they showed resilience.
"Technically I expect more than we showed today, in the first half we had too many loose passes. It's week by week looking at the details and developing as a team. I see at the moment a really good mentality in the whole squad and that's why we need to keep."
Despite being pleased with the result, Clement added that his mentality is always to win as he shelved any suggestion of playing for a draw.
"It’s a very important point, they are always really important away from home in Europe But I am a winner, I want to win always," he said. "I want my players to have the same mentality and I saw it after the game. They were disappointed they hadn’t won and that’s the mentality we need for the next few months, In the circumstances we can be happy with the point against a team that plays good football.
"The second half pleased me, the first half totally not. We talked about that during half-time, it’s not what I want to see from my team. But the reaction in the second half was really good and we need to build on that. It’s impossible to create a story in ten days."
