Philippe Clément says Rangers will take on Manchester United tomorrow night after proving they can take advantage this season.
The Glasgow giants lack the skill and confidence of United, but still possess plenty of European experience.
Although it meant Rangers would start the game as underdogs. Clement felt his side showed they are capable of beating anyone on their day in the recent 3-0 win over Celtic in the Old Trafford derby.

He said: “We have our game plan as we always do.
“I don't believe that the bus stopped in front of the goal, I don't expect to rest and score for nothing.
“We will try to play with our qualities. But we need to see the quality of Manchester United in almost every European game.
“I'm not busy with Manchester United,” he said. If they have high confidence or low confidence,
“We owned it for a couple of weeks before the big start and nobody gave us a chance and the team proved for a while what they can do.
“It's about focusing on yourself and doing what you want to do.
“I believe our team can hurt any opponent,” he said. But we need to be very united and work really hard without the ball. Here you need to do a lot of right actions to get a good result.
“But the team has done it many times this season and is in a good position. We are all pushing for good results here.”
Clement is not interested in the “noise” around United.
All eyes are on United after manager Ruben Amorim labeled his players “probably the worst team in the club's history”, but Clement is focused solely on a win that will see Rangers progress to the Europa League knockout stages.
He said: “We know what to expect but we need to focus on ourselves and not the noise of Manchester United.
“We need to show our qualities and get the best out of each other.
“It's been a while since Rangers won in England, so we'll go for the challenge.”
