#UEL

🎙️ GVB: We have no fresh injuries, we have the squad available from Motherwell.

🎙️ GVB: Morelos & Roofe are not available and I have made my plans after watching the opponent playing.

I will choose the right gameplan and we need the players to perform well.

🎙️ GVB: Fashion Jr is travelling. We have a big plane.

🎙️ GVB: We want to attack and create chances, we have to do the right thing at the right moments.

We will have moments when we need to defend but we will be looking for dangerous chances to score, it is semi-final of the @EuropaLeague so the standard is high.

🎙️ GVB: Of course playing a European semi-final is exciting but we have to overcome a tough team, we have watched Leipzig play a lot of games & are well prepared.

There are still two games to be played against a tough opponent and we will do everything we can to be in the final.

🎙️ GVB: What I had as a player I also have as a coach. you have to block all the media and noise and concentrate on your preparation and your performance, this is what the players have to do.

Once the whistle goes give it everything you have.

🎙️ GVB: We concentrate on our own game, for every team still involved in Europe it is demanding on the squad.

🎙️ GVB: It is always a factor when we have our huge support travelling with us, the fanbase who follow us are amazing - it can be like playing at home even when away.

🎙️ GVB: Leipzig are a very well organised team, they have a lot of threats. We have to prepare well.

🎙️ GVB: The confidence is there but we know we have to perform again. I am very confident in my team.

🎙️ GVB: I arrived in November with my staff and got straight to work, we have worked all together and I am very proud of the players. We are now in the final weeks of the season and will give everything we can to be successful in Europe.

Allan McGregor has arrived to speak to the media.

🎙️ AM: It was disappointing last time (2008) to miss out. It is special for every player to be in Europe at this stage

🎙️ AM: It's a game of football, you need to face the challenges ahead.

🎙️ AM: The crowd at Ibrox for Europe is special.

🎙️ AM: A few years ago nobody thought we would qualify for the @EuropaLeague, each year we have progressed. It is an unbelievable achievement for all of the boys and the staff.

🎙️ AM: You just take each game as it comes, we deserve to be here. It is a big occasion for the club and we need to go and enjoy it.

I try and saviour it more after the games with the fans to enjoy the atmosphere.
