Polish side Jagiellonia Bialystok's international full-back Norbert Wojtuszek insists they will show no fear at Ibrox against an 'upset' Rangers.

And he's urged his colleagues just to play their normal game. Rangers must overcome a 2-1 first leg deficit in the Europa League against the dangerous Poles on Thursday.

Both sides lost their league games at the weekend and 24-year-old Wojtuszek - who won his first caps for Poland earlier this year - is well aware it will be a bruising evening in Glasgow and has urged his teammates to stay strong against an expected Rangers onslaught.

He said: "We're expecting a very tough match, just like we did last season in the Europa Conference League, where we also played against some big clubs.

"Rangers will definitely be upset with the result they got here and will want to beat us and advance. So it's definitely going to be a hard game for us.

"We need to be prepared before going into the match so there's no fear, no trembling legs and no need to play long balls to survive. We'll just try to play like we play in every match.

"Our manager said in the dressing room after we lost to Widzew Lodz at the weekend that we didn't play as maturely as we usually do. And the two goals we lost were the result of simple mistakes, a lack of concentration and poor positioning.

"So we need to concentrate better at Ibrox."
