Every word of Rangers boss Gio van Bronckhorst's presser as boss isn't buying Ibrox reversal theory

It doesn't come much bigger than this for Rangers. A long absence from the Champions League could come to an end in just over a week's time as they square off with PSV Eindhoven in a two-legged shootout for a coveted place in the group stage.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst will take on old pal Ruud van Nistelrooy but there'll be no love lost between the two Dutchmen when the whistle blows at Ibrox on Tuesday. Booking a seat at Europe's top table would be a transformative step for Rangers, both on the pitch and the balance sheet as the prestige of battling the continent's elite also brings financial rewards.

But Van Bronckhorst will know his players face a serious test against a PSV side who have started the campaign in red-hot form. They've already beaten Ajax in the Dutch Super Cup and disposed of Monaco in the previous qualifying round.
