PSV are out for revenge against Rangers.
The Dutch giants sent out a battle cry in the wake of discovering their Champions League play-off opponents last night.
The sides met at the exact same stage of European qualifying last season, with the Light Blues prevailing under the stewardship of Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
Antonio Colak's goal sealed the game at the Phillips Stadion last August, which saw the Light Blues through to the group stages of the competition for the first time in 12 years. They also banked a whopping £40million.

And the Eredivisie club has wasted little time in setting their targets for the upcoming two-legged tie.
Looking to settle the score with Rangers, PSV's official club account tweeted last night: "Time for revenge."
They defeated Sturm Graz to set up the play-off with the Gers, while Michael Beale's team got past Servette.
Peter Bosz is now the boss of PSV, with Ruud Van Nistelrooy losing his job after last year's qualifier defeat.
They already had one foot in the play-off round after a 4-1 win over Sturm Graz in the first leg of their third-round tie.
The game eventually finished 7-2 on aggregate after the return leg in Austria.
Rangers won their tie 3-2 on aggregate in a far less convincing manner. James Tavernier secured a 1-1 draw on the night in Switzerland.
Beale's team host Morton in the last-16 of the Viaplay Cup on Saturday ahead of the first leg, with a game against Ross County in the Highlands in between that game and the return leg.
PSV head to Vitesse Arnhem before Ibrox, then it's at home to Go Ahead Eagles before welcoming Rangers back to Eindhoven.
