Brondby star fires Rangers warning as goalscoring ace tells Europa League foes 'we're getting stronger every week'

Brondby's top-scorer has warned Rangers he and his team-mates are looking for double joy this week as they begin to hit top gear.

The Danes visit Ibrox on Thursday night for the third match of the Europa League group, with both sides winless after the first two rounds.

While Steven Gerrard 's side will be favourites, and are looking to secure at least third place and remain in Europe after Christmas, Brondby have started to find their feet.

They have won two of their last three Danish Superliga matches and insist they are approaching their visit to Scotland with confidence.

Mikael Uhre was the top scorer in the league last season and won the Danish Superliga Player of the Season award as Brondby swept to a first title in 16 years.

And the 27-year-old believes they have proved they are returning to top form at the right time.

He said: "We have two massive games this week at Rangers and the derby home against FC Copenhagen and our stated aim is to win them both.

"This season, we have received plenty of criticism for not creating enough chances which is something we were doing last season.

"But I think you could see against Vejle, we managed to do that again. I have to give plenty of credit to Blas Riveros and Christian Cappis, who came in and did really well for us.

"And they are both improving as players with contributing goals and assists.

"Personally, I have had some problems with an ankle injury, but I think I am over that and I can't wait to play two games in a week.

"And I believe we are getting stronger as a team every week after a difficult start."
