Rangers are 'fantastic team' despite Hearts result insists Hamilton boss Brian Rice

Brian Rice says his Hamilton side are under more pressure than Rangers going into Wednesday's Premiership encounter.

Accies are sitting in 11th place, two points above Hearts who have a game in hand.

Following their Scottish Cup defeat at Tynecastle, Steven Gerrard admitted he needed to think about where Rangers were as a team. Ahead of the two sides' meeting at Ibrox, however, Rice insists it's the basement strugglers who are really up against it.

Rice said: "It must be great to be under pressure when you are second in the league and in the last 16 of the Europa League. It must be great pressure to be under.

"Pressure is where we are. That's pressure.

"It's Ibrox we are going to. It doesn't matter when you go to Ibrox. We are Hamilton going to Ibrox.

"It doesn't matter Rangers' result on Saturday. Rangers are at home, they are still chasing the league, they have got to win every game.

"You have got to win every game as a Celtic and Rangers player or as manager. Every time we go there it's very, very difficult.

"Every game in this league is a big test for us. Only five days ago we were raving about Rangers' performance against Braga. So nothing has changed - Rangers are a fantastic team.

"Rangers had a poor result at the weekend but go back three days before that and everyone was raving about how well they played. And rightly so, they were fantastic.

"Going to Ibrox is a massive, massive task for us. We know that.

"But we have got to go there and try and get something out of the game."
