However, their opponents have won the European Cup before back in the 1990/91 season and finished top of Group F.

During the group stages, Red Star picked up 11 points from their six games and were unbeaten away from home.

Rangers, though, will be full of confidence after that win over Dortmund, and you can expect an incredible atmosphere at Ibrox tonight.

Rangers v Red Star: What has been said?

Dejan Stankovic said: “Giovanni does a great job with Rangers and he has a similar way of playing like Red Star.

"We never speak about individual players. Obviously if someone is fast we will try and stop him, but, generally, Rangers are a great team. We focus on the team rather than individuals.

“It’s also part of our motivation. Rangers will have 50,000 people so we will do all we can to ensure we have a good result for our supporters."

Giovanni van Bronckhorst said: “The next game is always the really important game. We are just focusing on tomorrow.
