Rangers will play a team who are good enough to be in one of the top five leagues in Europe when they face Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League showdown.
That's according to Partizan Belgrade boss Aleksandar Stanojevic, who saw his Serbian league runners-up demolished 9-2 on aggregate by the Ukrainian giants.
Rangers travel to Poland on Tuesday for the first leg of the third qualifying round before the return leg at Hampden next week.
But they will be wary of facing Dynamo after they followed up a 6-2 'home' win in Lublin with a 3-0 pummelling of Partizan in Belgrade.
And Partizan boss Stanojevic couldn't hide his admiration for Dynamo.

He said: "Why are people in Serbia surprised by the results over the two legs?
"Dynamo are far better than us.
"The truth is they played in second gear for most of the second leg and still won 3-0. Technically and tactically they were levels above us.
"We couldn't keep up with their pace. We easily conceded goals. They were faster and stronger than us. That's where we are at.
"Look, Dynamo Kyiv are a serious club. They are not in the top five leagues in Europe, but they should be in terms of their standard.
"People talk about our great history and how we should compete with them, but this is now. We were completely immature against a club of Dynamo's standing."
