Ronald De Boer reckons his countrymen view Rangers as an easier touch than Monaco for PSV Eindhoven.
The Dutch big-hitters outlasted the men from the principality to secure a thrilling 4-3 aggregate triumph, and now a winner takes all clash with Gio van Bronckhorst 's side awaits. But De Boer senses a level of cynicism of his former club despite their rousing run to the Europa League Final, which included major scalps in Borussia Dortmund, Leipzig and Braga.
Speaking to BBC Sportsound, he said: "In Holland, they think Monaco was. more difficult opponent than Rangers so they think they have a better chance. But I know the Rangers squad a little bit and what European football does at Ibrox. As an ex-Rangers player, I hope they go through but it's really a 50-50."
