Giovanni van Bronckhorst has no concerns over the prospect of his Rangers side struggling in the cauldron of the Marakana as they strive to secure a place in the Europa League quarter-finals.
The Scottish champions have a 3-0 advantage over Red Star to take to the Serbian capital following last week's first leg at Ibrox.
A red-hot atmosphere is expected at the Rajko Mitic Stadium - one of Europe's most hostile venues - but van Bronckhorst believes his team have enough experience to deal with the demands of the situation.
"It's a challenge to us to face a strong opponent in the atmosphere we are going to face tomorrow," said the Rangers manager
"We know we are going to a place where the atmosphere can be very hostile, but that's a thing we have to cope with.
"We have quite an experienced team and have been in places before where it's hostile, but you have to deal with it, make sure you are prepared mentally and tactically and make sure you just concentrate on the game and playing against the 11 other players.
"It will be a great atmosphere to play in - we have to enjoy that as well. We have to be mentally prepared for this challenge, but we have a team who have played many games in Europe in the last couple of years so in that way we are well prepared."
Van Bronckhorst is refusing to entertain any notion that Thursday's return leg will be a formality as he believes the first-leg scoreline was not an accurate reflection of the game.
"We saw last week that it was quite an even game," he said. "We won with a three-goal margin, but we can expect an opponent who will do everything to overturn this deficit. For us it starts all over again.
"We are preparing the team to get a good result and we will work hard to be in the next round after the game.
"We can't go into the game thinking about having a three-goal lead - we have to be there from the first minute, try to be solid and try to be dangerous at the right moments in the game."
Progress to the last eight will ensure Rangers, who are in the thick of the title race and have a Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic to look forward to, will have an extremely busy and high-stakes April schedule.
"If we get through, we will add two more games in April, but that's what you want," Van Bronckhorst said.
"You want to be involved in all competitions at the end of the season when you are playing or as a coach. You want to play many games at the top level."
Van Bronckhorst, who is missing only Ianis Hagi and Steven Davis through injury for Thursday's match, will not allow his team selection to be influenced by the fact Alfredo Morelos, Joe Aribo, Fashion Sakala and John Lundstram are one booking away from a European suspension.
"When you are playing so many games in Europe like we are, you will always have players one yellow card away from a suspension," he said.
"That's the same for every team. It won't affect our approach or our team selection. The players don't have to play in a different way.
"The most important thing is to win this tie and then we will see after the game who we have available for the next game."
