Goldson Looks Forward To PSV Clash

RANGERS have touched down in Eindhoven ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League play-off second leg with PSV.

The scores all all-square going into this one following last week’s 2-2 draw at Ibrox – and it’s left an all or nothing single tie perfectly poised here at what is a very warm and muggy Philips Stadion.

Ahead of the game, Connor Goldson addressed the media, and he wants his men to deliver another of those big performances as he reflected on four years of continual progress in European competition.

He explained: "It is a big achievement - if you look at the journey of these last four years, it has been amazing, but at the same time, we have all had these big nights together as a group.

"You look at the run we had together last season and we always sat here and said 'what a big game' and 'what a big achievement'.

"This is just another big game for the football club and we know as a team, we have to try and produce.

"We are a team and we are a group and we have to be together. The only times we have won things as a football club is when we have all stuck together and we have done everything together.

"Going into tomorrow, this squad has to be more united than ever as we know it is going to be a massive game for the whole team."

Goldson was asked about the impact of new signing Antonio Colak – who has four goals to name already, and he continued: "He has been brilliant. It is not easy to come into Rangers and be the number nine here, but I think he has worked his socks off - he has scored goals and important goals at that, and I have been really impressed with him.

"I knew playing against him that he was a threat and that he can score goals, and he has proved us right."

Goldson also revealed what Champions League qualification would mean to him should Gers make it through, and he added: "It would mean a lot. I never felt that I would play Champions League football - growing up, coming through where I did at Shrewsbury in League Two.

"Would I ever have envisioned that I would be able to play Champions League football? Probably not.

"You have dreams as a kid and this is the pinnacle of club careers so if we can do it, and hopefully we can, then it would be an amazing achievement."
