The Bears give boss sore head
descending on Saxony, their invasion forced Tedesco to change his sleeping arrangements ahead of tonight’s huge opening Europa League semi-final clash with the Ibrox outfit.
However, the 36-year-old fears his side’s chances of reaching the final could be put to bed if they don’t wake up to the threats of Gio van Bronckhorst’s outfit.
He said: “We are happy that a lot of Rangers fans will come to the city.
“They pay the hotels, pay the restaurants, they buy beer so it is good for the economy of Germany.
“We are living in a good hotel in the centre and they told me that 200 fans are coming to the hotel so I will sleep here in the academy in the next two days.
“But we are happy, playing at home with a good atmosphere.”
Leipzig ousted Gian Piero Gasperini’s Italian outfit Atalanta to make the last four but saw their 15-game unbeaten run shattered by Union Berlin at the weekend.
Now Tedesco has warned his team they will face more misery if they don’t take Rangers seriously.
He said: “Like Atalanta or most recently Union, Glasgow is a very robust, physically strong team. If you let Rangers play, their physicality allows them to crush any opponent.”
