STEVEN GERRARD will prepare Rangers for a raucous welcome against Brondby after seeking the advice of former Liverpool team-mate Daniel Agger.
The champions have made the trip to Denmark aiming to give their Europa League ambitions another timely boost after a much-needed 2-0 victory at Ibrox a fortnight ago.
Rangers are two points clear of Brondby in Group A and could move above Sparta Prague in the standings if results go their way on matchday four.
The Danes have recorded back-to-back Superliga wins over Copenhagen and Viborg since losing in Glasgow and Gerrard is expecting a tough test tonight.
Gerrard said: “I think we’ve seen a big improvement domestically in terms of results. They obviously got a real positive result at the weekend, you can see them moving up the table.
"I think when that happens, it breeds confidence and belief.
“For us, you try to put yourself in their camp and think: ‘What are they thinking? What does the game mean to them? How is their coach going to approach?’
“I think he’s in a must win situation so we expect the best version of Brondby, the most aggressive version of Brondby.
"And I think with their support and a full house, and if Daniel Agger is telling me the truth and it’s one of the best atmospheres in the world, we have to be ready for a real fascinating challenge."
