USG wonderkid tells Rangers ‘we can beat anyone right now’ ahead of Europa League tie

Union Saint-Gilloise wonderkid Kamiel van de Perre insists they can keep their recent good run going against Rangers.

Rangers host the Belgian side on Thursday and need to win to have an outside chance of qualifying for the next round in the Europa League, if other results go their way.

But Union won their fourth game in a row at the weekend and their midfielder van de Perre has been tipped as the next big thing to make the breakthrough in Belgian football.

And the 20-year-old can't wait to get a crack at Rangers.

He said: "It's been a dream for me recently. I have started games in the league and in the Europa League and hopefully, I can play at Rangers too.

"I am really enjoying it at the moment and the team are playing well. We feel we can beat anyone just now."

And USG boss Sebastien Pocognoli has full confidence in his talent.

He said: "We are not surprised by his good performances, because we see it every day in training. He shows his full range of qualities. 

"I really appreciate him because he is very humble and continues to work tirelessly. He has been ready for a long time and has a very bright future.

"He is a very fine player, very technical and good to watch and he is already a leader."
