Draw won’t do warns Macca

Gary McAllister insists Rangers are going to Moscow looking to deliver a knockout blow to Spartak.

With Gers joint top of Group G with Villarreal, a win over the bottom dogs will keep the Glasgow giants bang on course for the last 32 and all but eliminate Spartak as rivals.

Ibrox No. 2 McAllister said: “It would be dangerous to go there and play for a point. I don’t see us trying to sit back.

“We will be looking to try to create something with the fact that Spartak have to try to come and win the game. We have to look to exploit that.

“We’ll try to score goals because the onus will be on the home team to get a result – they need one.

“The game will probably give us more opportunities to produce things in that final third.

“The spaces open, their full-backs might join in and leave space.

“In the first leg at Ibrox they were pretty rigid. They came to Scotland to frustrate and did their job. We just couldn’t break them down.

“The European games are so different to the domestic matches though.

“We’re playing against quality opposition who think they are probably better than us because of where the Scottish game is and where Rangers have been in recent times.

“They fancy beating us so they’re coming out and I think we’ve surprised teams with our quality and our intensity.”
