Fans at Ibrox noised me up

-

Villarreal star Manu Morlanes reckons the wall of noise at Ibrox was the loudest he has ever experience­d.

Rangers held the Spanish giants to a 0- 0 draw in last week’s Europa League clash in Glasgow despite having Daniel Candeias sent off in the first half.

But for Morlanes, it was the most memorable match of his career.

The 19- year-old midfielder couldn’t believe the Ibrox atmosphere.

He said: “The noise in the stadium was deafening for our players.

“It’s the noisiest I have ever heard a football ground. But we were the better team by a long way and their keeper was easily the best player on the park.

“And it’s an experience I will take with me forever.

“It was great to play on a stage like Ibrox. It didn’t scare me – in fact it motivated me more.

“The whole team stood up to the test. If we can play at a stadium like that, then we can perform anywhere.

“We need something from our last game against Spartak Moscow and I hope our fans support us like the Rangers fans did.

“Now we go to the Nou Camp to play Barcelona and our experience in Glasgow will help us to play in a huge game like this.

“We’ve shown we don’t fear anyone and go to Barca aiming for the win.”

Rangers need to win at Rapid Vienna in the last game of their group, with all four teams still able to qualify for the last 32.
