Bullish Nemanja Matic doesn't buy into the Ibrox crowd being a factor in Lyon's clash with Rangers. In fact, the veteran midfielder insists he prefers playing in a hostile environment as he gears up for the Europa League showdown.

Rangers will face off against their fellow top seeds in the league phase in Glasgow as Philippe Clement's side look to make it six points from six in the competition so far.

However, Pierre Sage’s French giants present a tough test for the Light Blues having splashed a whopping €140m in the summer as they look to push for the upper reaches of Ligue 1 and make their mark on Europe.

But former Manchester United and Chelsea star Matic isn't taking the Scottish Premiership side lightly as he looks forward to the atmosphere in Govan.
