JOHN LUNDSTRAM has branded the actions of Union Saint-Gilloise players as a "touch disrespectful" ahead of the Champions League qualifier second leg.
The Belgian side take a 2-0 lead to Glasgow for the match at Ibrox tomorrow night with Rangers needing a major turnaround to progress to the play-off round.
And ahead of the return leg, Lundstram has admitted he felt there was some disrespect in the celebrations and comments from opposition players in the media.
Lundstram was speaking this afternoon ahead of the match and insisted the Rangers squad will use whatever motivation needed to prepare mentally for the match.
Quizzed on the reaction of Union players after the win last week, Lundstram explained: "You can use whatever motivation that you need for this game tomorrow. We’ve certainly all seen it and we know it’s there.
"It’s a touch disrespectful. Listen, we’re ready and you can use whatever motivation for tomorrow night, but we just need to turn up and we will."
The Rangers midfielder was then questioned on his thoughts on whether Union appear to be coming to Glasgow thinking the tie is done.
And Lundstram conceded it could easily be interpreted that way as he suggested the Ibrox impact may be being overlooked by the Belgian side.
He said: "You could say that. But they’re coming to a really tough place and I’m not sure they’ve took that into mind.
"We’re just raring to go, we can’t wait to get out there and put right where we disappointed ourselves last week."
