Ally McCoist has detailed why he thinks PSV will be a much tougher opposition this year for Rangers than they were last.
Michael Beale's side will take on the Dutch giants in a two-legged play-off to determine which team will progress to the Champions League group stages.
It's the second successive season the teams have faced each other at the exact same stage of the competition.
Last August, Giovanni van Bronckhorst masterminded victory for the Ibrox club thanks to a goal from Antonio Colak in The Netherlands. His strike saw the Light Blues through to their first group stage of UEFA's elite tournament for the first time in 12 years.
While the prize of winning remains the same 12 months on, McCoist admits he expects a 'different' PSV side, with the Eredivisie outfit looking more threatening in forward areas than previously.
However, the Gers and Scotland legend insists that lightning can strike twice for his former club.
He told TNT Sports: "It's a really difficult task. I'll tell you why; I watched the game last night and I thought Rangers deserved to go through. Should have and probably could have won the game, it wasn't a great first half but a better team performance in the second half.
"They knocked PSV out this time last year but I just think it's a different PSV this time. They look stronger, they look quicker, and more of a goal threat. It's a big ask, but it's certainly not beyond Rangers that's for sure."
