Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst: “We are playing European football every season. Last season was the Europa League.

“Of course the disappointment in not going through to the group stage (of the Champions League) against Malmo, we changed that into a very positive year in Europe.

“But no doubt in my mind that, every year we are involved in European football, we want to be part of the Champions League.

“That has to be our goal and that’s why we work hard.

“It doesn’t mean we will play every year in the Champions League, but the desire (is to do that) and we want to show everyone that we want to be in that tournament.

“I obviously coached before in the Champions League, it is a tournament you want to be involved in a player, as club, as a coach.

“I came here and wanted to win this club prizes and wanted to play at the highest level and that is Champions League.

“The main thing for me is to qualify and bring the club back into the biggest stage in European football.”

PSV head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy: "I see a squad of fantastic players for Rangers. I see young lads and experienced players playing very well together in a very recognisable style under Gio.

“The team is developing. They got to the Europa League final and were very close to winning it. It was an amazing achievement and they are building on that.

“We are fully aware of the quality of the players we are facing and we have to be 100 per cent prepared in every aspect of the game to do well here.”
