“From our perspective you’d count on a problem from Rangers when there’s that stage of funding. They have so many good gamers and each sport towards them has been actually fairly aggressive.
“We have clearly gained a pair, we have misplaced one at Ibrox just lately in February so we’re effectively conscious of what we have to do to come back out the opposite finish of it.
