Brian Laudrup believes Calvin Bassey will come good for Ajax but he wants Rangers to target the Dutch side's creaky backline in their final Champions League game.
The Nigeria international has not had his troubles to seek since swapping Glasgow for Amsterdam in a £19m summer switch to replace now Manchester United star Lisandro Martinez. Alfred Schreuder's side have been leaky in defence with Bassey earning underwhelming verdicts from talking heads over a perceived lack of class with the ball at his feet. But he's not the only one feeling the heat with Daley Blind and Jurrien Timber coming in for some serious flak. However, Ajax are Europa League-bound unless they suffer a 5-0 defeat or worse at Ibrox on Tuesday night.
And Laudrup has called upon Gio van Bronckhorst to put the heat on the Eredivisie champions as Rangers aim to finish their chastening Champions League campaign on a high note. Speaking on the Daily Mail, he said; "It's nothing personal, of course, but Rangers must try and make Calvin Bassey's return to Ibrox as difficult as possible. If Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side are going to finish a miserable Champions League campaign on a high, they need to get on the front foot, show aggression and test the Ajax defence. They cannot stand off them again.
