GIOVANNI van Bronckhorst says his squad are ready to ‘give everything’ on the pitch tomorrow evening in their UEFA Champions League play-off against PSV Eindhoven.
A 2-2 draw at Ibrox last week has the tie level heading into this second-leg as Gers bid for a place in the group stages of the competition.
Speaking to the media at a pre-match press conference in Holland, he said: “In football the most important game is the next one and for us that is PSV and we are aware of the threat they have, how strong they are at home and we are prepared and ready for the game.
“I know the [PSV] players, I know the team really well and the way they played against us last week gives me more information about the way they want to attack.
"We have seen many things we can exploit but also things we have to be aware of because that is what kind of game it was last week and we are ready for a big game and excited as well.
“We have played almost twice a week the whole season, yes it was a demanding and physical match on Saturday but we are here, we are strong and we are ready to go again tomorrow to give everything on the pitch.”
The boss, who lifted the Champions League as a player, says the tournament is special for everyone involved as Rangers prepare for their final qualification match.
He continued: “Every time I hear the tune something special is happening and I am sure all the players involved in the tournament and all the players who listened to the song last week for the first time it brings emotions because it has such significance .
“I think it is the best club tournament in the world to be involved in and that is for everyone, for the fans, for the club, for the team, it is something special and that never goes away. I won it in Paris 2006 that is one of my proudest achievements in football and nothing will make me prouder to bring Champions League football back to Ibrox with the group stages.
“It's the level we want to compete in, of course we have to qualify for it. We have the chance to qualify tomorrow and it will bring so many good things to the club. It is obvious that everyone wants to be involved and we just have to make sure, I am aware of my players being focused and doing everything possible tomorrow to get us through.”
