Rangers boss Van Bronckhorst warns Liverpool: We're not here to make up numbers

Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst is excited to have drawn Liverpool in their Champions League group.

Gers have been pitted together with the Reds, Ajax and Napoli.

Van Bronckhorst said: "Of course you want to be competitive.

"We are here to compete, we want to compete with the best teams in Europe.

"It is going to be a difficult challenge because we are going to face some big teams in Europe, like we did last year, but it is an experience that I will love. I love that my players will have the opportunity to compete.

"I always remember my first game in the Champions League with Feyenoord against Juventus away and the first 20, 25 minutes I was blown away by the level and the way Juventus played in that time.

"To experience that as a player, you have to be very privileged because not many players get the chance to compete on this level."
