Malmo defender Anel Ahmedhodzic has predicted a "physical" Rangers encounter after booking their Champions League third qualifying round spot.
The Swedes saw off HJK Helsinki with a 2-2 draw in Finland to secure a narrow 4-3 aggregate win in the second round qualifier.
It means Steven Gerrard 's champions now know who they will face in their bid to reach the group stage, with the first leg in Sweden on August 4.
Bosnia cap Ahmedhodzic wasted little time in ramping up the pressure ahead of the powderkeg fixture as he made some bold predictions about Rangers style of play.
However, the centre-back put all the pressure on the Scottish Premiership side, insisting they are happy to guarantee at Europa League or Europa Conference League spot.
Ahmedhodzic told Swedish outlet Kvällposten when asked about their next Champions League clash: "I know that they are tough and that it will be a very hard-tackling match.
"It will be a physical match. It will be fun to play it too.
"What will it be, nine - ten matches in Europe, at least?
"It's fun for us to play in. It will be two or three matches a week for us. It's damn nice."
Best known to fans in Scotland as the side who put seven past Hibs in 2013, Malmo are no strangers to Scottish opposition in Europe.
They've faced both Celtic and Rangers in the relatively recent past and eliminated the Ibrox side at the third qualifying stage of the 2011/12 Champions League, in their last bid for the group stage.
