Scott Arfield has hailed Slavia Prague as 'one of the strongest' sides left in the Europa League, admitting Rangers will have to be at their best if they are to progress on Thursday night.
The Ibrox star says it will be a great achievement if they can get the job done against "top team" Slavia on Thursday night.
The Premiership champions hold the advantage after the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie and Arfield admits they'll take a draw tomorrow.
After securing a vital away goal in the 1-1 draw Rangers know that a clean sheet will see them through to the quarter-finals - but Arfield insists they won't be underestimating Jindrich Trpisovsky's side.
He said: "We’ll take the draw if we can get through and I need to keep emphasising this, this is a top team we’re playing against tomorrow night.
"They are one of the strongest teams in the competition so to get through here would be a great success for us and hopefully we can do it tomorrow.
"I just think the calibre of players and the physicality within the team, the tenacity, the energy levels, it always makes it difficult.
"It wasn’t something we were hugely surprised at, the way they played.
"We were more surprised with ourselves that we didn’t get up against them and in the second half the game evened out.
"We got the goal just before half time and took it into the second half and we had another couple of chances where we could have taken a better result home.
"Overall we have to be pleased with our performance in the second half and take it back tomorrow night and setting it up at Ibrox.
Arfield added that the players haven't put much thought into their Sunday crunch match with Celtic at Parkhead, insisting that their focus is fully on the Slavia task for now.
Asked which game is bigger he replied: "The next one. As always.
"We put that one [the Celtic game] on the back burner. I know it’s quite hard for some fans to do but as professionals we need to put that one on the back burner.
"It’s a huge game, it speaks for itself and we all know that fixture speaks for itself no matter what has gone on or what will happen in the future but the next one for us is the most important one.
"We’re one game away from going one stage further than last season [in the Europa League].
"Of course this club is built on tradition and success so to go one step further would be great for us.
"We've taken a good result away from home. Now we’re at Ibrox and hopefully we can go one stage further."
