🎙️ It's press conference day ahead of Sunday's trip to Livingston.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst has arrived to speak to the media, live updates to follow.
🎙️ GvB: No fresh injuries, the boys had a normal recovery today.
Roofe & Balogun will not be ready to play on Sunday.
🎙️ GvB: I spoke with Dave Vos a couple of times this year, I have only heard good things about him and how he thinks about players.
He is a very young coach and very talented, I saw a very good assistant in him and I'm really happy for him to join the club.
🎙️ GvB: We only had two days with the players, they have been really good. They were focused on the sessions and in our meetings.
It was great to see our game plan, dominate the match & get the two-goal victory we required to get into the next round. A good night for all of us.
🎙️ GvB: It is important to keep the momentum, with two days it is important to focus on recovery and then tomorrow we fully prepare for Sunday.
The Prague game is gone and everything is focused on Livingston.
🎙️ GvB: It is important for me to play with width, it makes it hard to defend especially with the quality and pace we have in a one vs one situation. It also allows the full-backs to join in the attack.
I think we can create a lot of danger in those areas.
🎙️ GvB: Joe (Aribo) can play on the wing and in the central areas. He did really well and was always there to be dangerous in the box. If he was more clinical would have had a few goals but the most important thing is to see the attacking midfielders in the right positions.
🎙️ GvB: Alfredo (Morelos) was very important as a target man and staying close to the box. I want Alfredo in the box as he is a very good finisher, in other games we may need him in other areas.
🎙️ GvB: The way Prague play with their left full-back, bringing in Patterson was a more natural defensive option and could protect the team and provide pace in the transition moments.
🎙️ GvB: A win should always be normal if you want to win prizes at the top level.
My task is to keep this drive, hunger and passion in every game. We now have to show it again on Sunday as we look forward to the next match.
🎙️ GvB: It has been a very hectic week, a busy schedule. Long days but that is normal in a busy schedule when you change countries.
Everyone within the club has been really helpful this week.
🎙️ That's all from today's press conference. You'll be able to watch it shortly on our YouTube channel which you can subscribe to here: youtube.com/rangersfc

🎙️ GvB: I was very pleased, we got the three points and played well in difficult conditions. In the last 15 minutes of the first half we lost a little bit of control of the game which is something we will work on. We have to be more clinical and defensively solid.
