Cautious Karel Geraerts is refusing to get carried away with his Union Saint-Gilloise team’s Champions League prospects, insisting Rangers are still “100 per cent” favourites.
The Belgian minnows are firmly in the driving seat after their sensational 2-0 win at Leuven’s Den Dreef Stadion on Tuesday. But Geraerts stressed the job is far from finished and expects Gers to come out all guns blazing at Ibrox next Tuesday.
Asked how he rated his team’s qualifying chances, the Union gaffer said: “Still zero per cent. Rangers have all 100 per cent because it is a big team, they play at home. It is only 2-0. It is a good score. I have confidence in my team. I’m very proud of the performance from the team. It was a good game, we were very well organised and when we had the ball we tried to play. It was my main objective to play football and I asked my players to respect the opponent because it is a big team with big history.
