'We have to be just like Rangers' - how Braga plan to upset Ibrox crowd

Abel Ruiz believes Braga can emerge triumphant at Ibrox at the second time of asking when they tackle Rangers on Thursday night.

The 22-year-old Spain international made his debut for the Portuguese club at Ibrox in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie in February 2020.

The former Barcelona striker scored the second goal to put the visitors 2-0 up with only about half an hour to go, before the Light Blues came roaring back to win 3-2 and ultimately go through to the next round.

Ruiz scored the only goal of the game against Gers in their Europa League quarter-final clash last week in Portugal to give Braga the advantage for the return game in Glasgow and this time he is confident of progression to the semi-final where they would meet either Atalanta or RB Leipzig, who are tied 1-1 from the first leg.

Speaking through an interpreter at Ibrox, Ruiz said: "The players that were involved here two years ago have some experience of what the atmosphere is like here.

"We were winning 2-0 but Rangers are a team that believes until the end and in that game they came back and managed to win the game and we didn't progress into the next round.

"We have confidence because we did win in Braga and we did the same at the weekend (against Vizela).

"We are aware that it will be a quite tough game. Rangers have excellent players but we will start the game with good momentum and believe that we can take a good result from this game.

"We are aware that Rangers will try everything so we will be likewise, like we did in Braga.
