Nana Kasanwirjo insists Rangers WILL be up for the fight at Pittodrie as they prepare to go toe-to-toe with Jimmy Thelin’s red-hot Aberdeen.
The Light Blues were made to scrap all the way on Sunday as they ground out victory over St Mirren. The 2-1 triumph against Stephen Robinson’s robust Paisley outfit was by no means a glittering performance.
But Kasanwirjo reckons the grit shown by the Ibrox side will be vital as they look to make it a three-way slug out for the title. Thelin’s dazzling Dons have emerged as this year’s surprise package, matching champions Celtic step for step after starting the Premiership campaign with a nine-game unbeaten run.
Gers have been left trailing after dropping six points adrift of the joint table toppers but Kasanwirjo andCo are aiming to take a chunk out of the Reds’ lead when they travel north on Wednesday night.
Asked if they were ready to go to battle, the determined Dutchman said: "Yeah, of course, every game is a fight — not only Aberdeen, but for example, Sunday’s game was a fight as well. You see, we didn't win that easy. We have to compete every day, every day, every day, training as well.
"Every game is a massive game. Sunday’s game, last Thursday against Steaua Bucharest, Wednesday, then next Sunday again in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final. So we have to compete every day.
"Every week is important. Every game is a big game, every week is a big week, and we need to look day by day, game by game, week by week, and it's about us. Every game is a must win game for us.
"And what I said before, we need to look day by day, game by game, and now we’ve won against St Mirren, and now we go to Aberdeen. So for us, Wednesday is a good game."
