Rangers are preparing to face the best version of Liverpool in the Champions League, despite their ongoing struggles in the Premier League.

The Anfield side are ninth in the English top flight - 11 points off the summit - and were held to a 3-3 draw by Brighton at home on Saturday.

Rangers, who sit second in the Scottish Premiership, have been beaten heavily in both Group A matches so far but manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst says there are "things to exploit" in Jurgen Klopp's side.

"It's going to be very difficult," he said. "This is a team who have been in three finals in five years and is one of the best in Europe. If you look at the ones we've faced, this is probably the strongest side.

"They didn't have a good result on Saturday but they have quality players and a fantastic coach so we're preparing for the best Liverpool we can face."
