The Light Blues face the Belgian giants in a £40million shootout for the league stages of the tournament with the first leg in Glasgow.

Club Brugge asked for and were granted permission to postpone their league game with Westerlo in between the two legs so they can concentrate fully on playing against Russell Martin's side.

And top Belgian manager Vanhaezebrouck, who has also managed Gent and Genk, reckons his countrymen will be celebrating after the second leg.

He said: "Rangers will be a tough task for Brugge but it's definitely achievable for them. It's vital we just stay alive in Glasgow and keep the tie close. Then I can see them finishing Rangers off at home and progressing to the league stages.

"But they have to show the same spirit as they did when they completed their comeback against Salzburg.
