And former Hearts player Mike Tullberg is now aiming to emulate his old club by getting on top of the Parkhead side and beating a legend.

There is no shortage of Scottish links in the Midtjylland side aiming to maintain their place at the top of the standings. Right-back Mbabu spent six months at Ibrox in 2015 on a loan spell from Newcastle and, despite not playing a game, he forged some strong friendships which include old skipper James Tavernier. He said: “Of course it will be special because as a former Rangers player, the fans from Rangers will expect me to beat the enemy, especially after what happened last weekend.

"So, of course, it will be a little bit special because I also still have a couple of friends in Scotland.

“I also have a former teammate that plays there, James Tavernier, who's the captain. I haven't talked to him yet.
