It’s the second year Rangers have competed in the event, with the Light Blues set to face Rapid Vienna, Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig in Group A tomorrow.
Speaking to RangersTV ahead of the tournament, Murty said: “It is a great tournament, we enjoyed it last year, we ran out of steam a little bit towards the end in the semi-final but we did really well last year and we really enjoyed our challenge.
“It is very very different because we are playing against German teams who actually play this quite a lot in their winter season and it is unusual for our players not to have a full-sized pitch, there’s boards and there’s rolling subs so there’s a few things they need to get the hang of but we expect them to catch up fairly quickly.
“We want to actually make them uncomfortable and we want to get them out of their comfort zone physically, technically and also mentally give them something they haven’t seen before and we want to see which problem solvers come to the fore.
“When we see that as we did last year, we were more than capable of dealing with the technical challenge, we are more than than capable of dealing with the physical challenge, it is about maintaining that concentration through a long tournament
“We always look to go as far as we possibly can, there’s no point coming to a place like this and saying oh we are just here for the experience, we are here to be competitive and if we are competitive which I think we will be then why shouldn’t we aim for the highest mark.
“Where we will get I don’t know but we will finish where we deserve to finish because these tournaments are really really clinical in nature and the players you are playing against are going to be ruthless so it is a good challenge for our players.”
With a young squad travelling to Germany, only Lewis Budinauckas, Ciaran Dickson and Daniel Finlayson have experience in the competition last year.
Murty added: “They really enjoyed the challenge and they have been talking to the boys about different things that they’ll see and different rule tweaks that we can take advantage of but we have given them the challenge today of actually leading some of our young players.
“We really need now Danny Finlayson who is a couple of years older than him to possibly take him under the wing a little bit and give him some advice and that is a real good challenge for Danny in his leadership role if he wants to be a leader in the team so he can come to the front.
