'Olympiacos are level above': Malmo boss Rydstrom sends stark warning to Rangers

Malmo boss Henrik Rydstrom has issued an ominous warning to Rangers after insisting Olympiacos, their next Europa League opponent, are 'levels' above them.

Philippe Clement's side have got off to a good start in the new-look competition with two wins out of three so far, including an opening game win in Sweden against Malmo.

They face Europa Conference League winners Olympiacos on November 7 in Athens, who also went to Sweden and defeated Malmo last week.

And Rydstrom was impressed with the Greeks.

He said: "I believe we played better against Olympiacos than we did against Rangers at home. But Olympiacos are a level above Rangers too.

"They are a very solid team that works hard and plays well and they had better opportunities than us. 

"Olympiacos were just as good as I thought. They are clearly a quality team."
