UNION Saint-Gilloise star Christian Burgess has revealed he and his team-mates are thrilled to be playing at Ibrox next week - after a YouTube deep dive on the atmosphere at Ibrox.
The central defender, 30, told that just one day after the Champions League qualifier draw paired the Belgian side with Rangers, clips of Ibrox were being shown in training.
Rangers enjoyed major success in Europe last season reaching the Europa League final only to narrowly miss out in a penalty shoot-out. But clips of incredible celebrations at Ibrox in the run to the final have been shared far and wide.
And Union Saint-Gilloise are well aware of the difficult task of playing at Ibrox against Rangers with the backing in Glasgow - even if Burgess is still excited for the experience.
The Englishman told the Daily Record: “We’re all excited at the thought of playing at Ibrox. The day after the draw was made one of the boys came into training and showed us YouTube clips of what the atmosphere was like during last season’s European campaign. It looked out of this world.
“So it’s going to be an incredible experience for us, either way. We’re just looking forward to it. The pressure won’t be on us, if we’re honest. We’re not expected to win.
“With that crowd behind Rangers we almost have sort of a free hit. But we’re all excited and especially myself. I’ve already had family and friends telling me they’ve booked planes and trains to get to Glasgow.
“I’m just waiting on information about tickets because it looks like I’m going to have to buy quite a few!”
