Derek McInnes sees grand Rangers plan challenged by a confident rival as Euro warning sent to Ibrox Derek McInnes revealed he wants to turn Ibrox into a fortress with four home games on the horizon Polish icon Marek Citko reckons the pressure is all on Rangers ahead of this week's Europa League second leg showdown. Rangers trail Jagiellonia Bialystok 2-1 after a defeat last week and faced heavy criticism for their display in Poland. But former Polish international striker Citko - who scored against England in a World Cup qualifier and rejected a big money move to Liverpool when he was at Widzew Lodz because he claimed he wanted to train as a priest instead - believes Jagiellonia Bialystok will travel to Scotland full of confidence. Derek McInnes revealed he wants to turn Ibrox into a fortress with four home games on the horizon, however, a Polish hero reckons the natives will be left restless on Thursday night. He said: "Of course, the away game will be tough, but all away games in Europe are. Look, the pressure will all be on Rangers. Jagiellonia are a team that performs very well both in the league and in Europe. It's not easy to beat them. And they have a very good manager in Adrian Siemieniec. He is someone who has learned a lot as a coach. They don't fear any team in Europe because they play their own game and don't worry about the opposition. "They are happy to take the pressure and then hit on the counter-attack and they are very good at it. They are confident and won't fear Rangers. I think Jagiellonia can handle the pressure. They can keep the ball, tire the opponent out. And I believe they will get through." Get more Daily Record exclusives by signing up for free to Google’s preferred sources. Click HERE.
