Philippe Clement has vowed Rangers will compete with Tottenham Hotspur and Celtic despite their rivals being "financially out of our league".
The Ibrox boss referenced the difference in finances as he looked ahead to a huge week with a Battle of Britain against Spurs in the Europa League before the Premier Sports Cup final.
Rangers host Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham on Thursday before the showpiece final against rivals Celtic on Sunday, December 15.
Clement was pleased to see his side continue their momentum ahead of the huge week with a 3-0 victory over Ross County days after their thumping 6-0 win against Kilmarnock.

And the Belgian manager is certain his players will stand up to the challenge both in the Europa League and in the cup final next weekend - even if there is a financial gulf between the clubs.
"Of course, they are totally different kind of games," he said on Sky Sports. "Maybe, we need to say financially out of our league, the two games.
"But we are going to compete.
"It's a really nice challenge for our squad to show themselves in these games and what we can do against those teams."

On the win in Dingwall, Clement added: "I am satisfied about that because the team in the last couple of weeks is showing where we want to get to.
"It's a really important victory, not only for the points but also for the way; to score the goals then also not to concede and to have the domination all the game like I want to see.
"It takes time to have this connection between players and they start to understand their roles much better, whoever is playing and whoever is coming in.
"This is the football that our fans want to see in away games."
