Fenerbahce and Turkey star Mert Muldur has warned Rangers they aren't just interested in knocking them out of the Europa League, they are desperate to win the competition.
Rangers face a daunting task in Istanbul this week for the first leg of the Round of 16 clash with Jose Mourinho's team.
Barry Ferguson's side are in dismal form after losing three home games in a row and that's in stark contrast to their hosts on Thursday.
Fenerbahce haven't lost since the beginning of December and their 3-0 weekend win over Antalyaspor made it six wins in their last eight games.
Muldur opened the scoring for them at the weekend and the 33-times capped defender has targeted reaching the latter stages of the tournament.
He said: "All our focus is on Rangers now. But we make no secret that we want to win the Europa League.
"We are still in three competitions and we think we can win them all. We always play to win every match, home and away.
"We don't look at what other teams are doing because we have confidence in our own ability. I think we are playing well at the moment.

"The manager can play me in any position he wants - I only care about helping this team win.
"To win 3-0 ahead of playing Rangers was good preparation, but if I am honest, we wanted more goals.
"We are ready to do our best in Europe as well."
Meanwhile, Fenerbahce fans backed Mourinho after his controversial week where he was accused of racism after claiming rivals Galatasaray's bench jumped around like 'monkeys' by displaying a huge banner which stated 'We Stand With You' aimed at their manager.
