Rangers manager Steven Gerrard: "It's a game we are looking forward to, we are disappointed with the result from the first-leg but we are over here to give it everything we have got.

"Alfredo is focused on the game tomorrow. He is fit to play and wants to play. You will have to wait until tomorrow to see what our team is.

"I'd certainly prefer a full stadium and I think everyone would but the reality is the situation around the world decides that at the moment.

"We know our support will be watching back home and we hope we give them a performance to make them proud tomorrow.

"The plan is to try and start on the front foot and get that first goal to make it an interesting tie."
