Siebe Van Der Heyden knows Union Saint-Gilloise are going to have to go through hell if they are to reach Champions League heaven.
But he insists the Belgians will enter Ibrox without fear having produced the greatest result in their 124-year history to see off the Europa League finalists on Tuesday. Skipper Teddy Teuma’s rasping drive and a spot-kick from Dante Vanzeir have put Union firmly in the driving seat.
But defender Van der Heyden is well aware of the power the Ibrox faithful can have on their team, having watched them lift Gio van Bronckhorst ’s squad all the way to Seville with their ear-splitting backing last term. And he insists Union will refuse to blink as the sparks fly in Glasgow next Tuesday. Van der Heyden said: “I’m not scared. I’m really confident in my team but we know it will be hell for us there. We know there will be 50,000 fans at Ibrox screaming at us for 90 minutes.
