Realistic Stewart Robertson insists Rangers can't get over-excited by their Champions League windfall - because a mega payday is far from guaranteed.
The Ibrox side came through a gruelling qualifying schedule and saw off PSV to reach the group stage of the competition proper and were landed a star-studded group with Ajax, Napoli and Liverpool for their efforts. So far they've shipped seven goals without reply ahead of an October double-header with the Reds, and Robertson admits competing with Europe's elite has been a major challenge due to the financial disparity on show.
Qualifying for the Champions League handed Gers a major financial boost but the £40m figure touted was always likely to be an exaggerated estimate - with a figure closer to £30m the reality. In any case, Robertson insists much of the Euro cash had already been budgeted for as Europa League qualification was a given - and says they won't be seeing the mega figures quoted on their bank balance unless they go deep into the competition.
