Netherlands icon Willy van de Kerkhof reckons PSV can't claim to deserve Champions League football if they can't get past a club like Rangers.

The play-off tie is finely poised at 2-2 after the first leg at Ibrox and it leaves Michael Beale's men needing a memorable night in Holland once again to secure group stage football.

But legend and ex-PSV man van de Kerkhof - who played in two World Cup Finals for his nation in 1974 and 1978 - reckons his former side will be the ones who emerge victorious.

He said: "If PSV don't qualify against a team like Rangers, then they have no right to be in the group stages of the Champions League.
