Last season, Rangers faced Union Saint-Gilloise in the qualifying round for a Champions League spot, at a time when Philippe Clement wasn’t in charge.

The Scottish side had a great first game at Ibrox, with a 3-0 win, and even though Rangers lost 2-0 in Belgium, they still made it through to the next round of the competition.

Now it seems the visit to Rangers is still in the mind of a few, and that includes their captain Anthony Moris, who sat down to have a chat with RTBF.

The goalkeeper claimed that they’re expecting a big atmosphere when facing Eintracht Frankfurt tonight, and when giving an example of how loud things can get, he recalled the game at Ibrox in 2022.

“For me, the benchmark so far is the match at Rangers last season. After the game, I even had to take a Dafalgan (brand of paracetamol) because I had such a headache,” said Moris.

“But it’s good because a lot of us experienced that match and we’re going to relive that kind of fervour. We’re going to have to deal with this moment, but we learnt a lot from that match in Scotland.”

Union SG and Frankfurt are playing the second round of the Conference League. Following a 2-2 draw in Belgium, they will today decide who’s going to the round of 16.

Last season, Rangers beat Union SG for a place in the play-off, and then managed to also best PSV for a spot in the group stages.

However, accompanied by the likes of Napoli, Liverpool and Ajax, the Scottish side ended up with six losses, finishing bottom of their group.
