PSV Eindhoven boss Peter Bosz reckons Dutch minnows RKC Waalwijk gave them a harder game than Rangers in the Champions League...despite romping to a 4-0 win there.
Bosz beat Rangers for the third time as a manager after previous successes with Bayer Leverkusen and Lyon and guided his side to an emphatic 5-1 hammering of Michael Beale's men in last week's play-off, after a 2-2 draw at Ibrox.
They continued their impressive start to the season by easing to a 4-0 win against RKC Waalwijk, who have now lost all four games and sit bottom of the Eredivisie.
But Bosz stressed they gave them a tougher battle than Rangers.
He said: "All my players had bruised shoulders from all the pats on the back they received following their performance against Rangers.
"But if you want to win the title, you have to go to places like Waalwijk and win.
"And honestly, this game was more difficult than against Rangers.
"After Wednesday it was always going to be tricky to replicate the same sharpness we showed.
"It's been a great and consistent start to the season.
"I know we got criticised for only drawing at Rangers, but so far we have won seven games and only drawn once in Glasgow. That's a dream start for us."
