Leipzig hero warns Rangers 'we have so much quality' as confidence surges ahead of Europa League showdown

Confident Emil Forsberg believes the quality running through RB Leipzig' s squad will be hard to stop in the search for double trophy glory.

Rangers travel to Germany next week before hosting the big spenders in the return leg at Ibrox in the Europa League semi-finals.

RB Leipzig have yet to win a single trophy in their 12-year existence - they have been runners-up twice in the Bundesliga and twice in the German Cup.

Now long-serving Swedish attacker Forsberg who has been at the club for seven years is convinced that will change as they go for the double, with a German Cup final to come against Freiburg too.

He said: "We have so much quality in the team that I really believe we can both the Europa League and the DFB Pokal.

"I was with RB Leipzig when we were struggling in Bundesliga 2. But we battled on and look at us now. I've experienced RB in the weak times and the good times.

"These are very good times now.

"We didn't start the season that well, but now after the winter break, we've stepped on the gas.

"We've found ourselves again, our football and how we want to play. We are in a good place at the moment."

Gio van Bronckhorst will be without Kemar Roofe and Aaron Ramsey for the first leg in Germany.
