🎙️ GvB: It is a home game, a special one in Europe. European nights are great at Ibrox with our support, we have to create an environment to play well and win the game.
🎙️ GvB: We were not happy with the result or the goals conceded on Sunday, we have to be much more focused and compact in the defensive side of the match.
We have trained the last two days and will be well prepared, it is important in Europe to be solid at the back.

🎙️ GvB: It is a very short time with the players but they can already sense what I want to change.
The way we have to prepare physically and mentally, you cannot do everything in two days but step-by-step the players will learn the style of play.

🎙️ GvB: You will see a team tomorrow in a system I like to play and how I feel is best to play against Prague. You will definitely see some changes.
🎙️ GvB: I have a certain way of working and certain things I want from my players. I demand that we are playing as a team, both defending and attacking. We need to be prepared and the players know their tasks on the pitch.
🎙️ AM: I'm still the same person so I keep on doing what I have been doing and working the same with the changes the manager wants to bring in.
🎙️ GvB: I can't wait to feel the atmosphere again in the stadium but I am able to separate my emotions from the job required once the whistle goes and be fully focused on my task of victory.
🎙️ GvB: The Parma game we had against top international stars was one of the best nights I had with Rangers. Plenty of good memories with Rangers in Europe.
🎙️ GvB: For me the most important thing is to look forward, to work hard and I demand this from day one. Everyone has been really good so far, we want to become a better team in the coming weeks and months.
