Alashkert v Rangers: What has been said?

Rangers assistant manager Gary McAllister: "When you see the team tomorrow, you will look at it and say, 'that team can play in most games.'

"We have had some great times in Europe over the last two or three years, and the team that we field, we feel is capable of going and getting a result.

"I think we are capable of owning the ball - and by that, I mean enjoying good possession.

"My feeling is we can go and score goals as well and we have got to be really, really on the front foot and be looking to go and add to our advantage."
