Olympiacos goal hero Kristoffer Velde has warned Rangers he's desperate to make it three in a row in tomorrow's Europa League showdown.
Rangers face a difficult task against the Europa Conference League holders in Athens as they prepare to play their fourth game in the group.
The Greek side splashed out £5 million to land Norwegian winger Velde in the summer from Polish side Lech Poznan and, after a sluggish start for his new club, he's finding form.
He's scored in his last two games for Olympiacos against Panserraikos and Kallithea and wants to make it a hat-trick against the Ibrox side.
He said: "I am just trying to do my best and help the team. I have scored two goals in a row. Now I want to make it three against Rangers.

"It has been a difficult period for me since I signed, but this week has been good because of my goals and we needed the points.
"Every game is different and we will have to take a different approach against Rangers.
"I think we weren't as intensive perhaps as we should be and we have been gifting too many chances to the opposition recently.
"I expect Rangers to try and hurt us with counter-attacks and if we are not fully focussed, they can damage us."
