Leon Balogun has said Rangers must embrace the opportunity to play in the semi-final of the UEFA Europa League, Prompt News reports.
The Light Blues will welcome Spanish club Athletico Bilbao to the Ibrox for the first leg of their quarter-final tie on Thursday (today).
Balogun declared that the Gers are in buoyant mood heading into the game despite last weekend’s loss to Hibernian.
“We were all fairly clear about the fact we are now in a quarter-final,” he was quoted by the club’s official website.
“It is separate from what’s happening domestically, and we need to focus on that. There is a massive opportunity for the players and the club.
“The last two days were pretty positive; everyone is aware of the domestic side, but we can focus on that after tomorrow night again.
“It’ll be a challenge tomorrow as they have some real good quality [in attack], but this is what you embrace.”
