Genk manager jumps to Rangers' defence after Brugge loss

Bayern Munich legend Thorsten Fink has defended Rangers after their Champions League mauling and insisted there's no chance his Genk side will take them lightly.

Rangers will face another Belgian side in the Europa League when they play against Genk at Ibrox.

But Fink - who won four Bundesliga titles and a Champions League at Bayern - admits he's desperate to lead his team out at Ibrox.

He said:  "Rangers away is a game I am really looking forward to.

"We all watched how Club Brugge did against them this week, but you have to remember, Rangers were playing with ten men for almost the entire game.

"So I can assure you we won't be underestimating them.

"They are a good team, but we have to be hopeful of getting to the next stage."
