Former Rangers star Dorin Goian admitted he's unimpressed with his former side and has backed Romanian countrymen Steaua Bucharest to take at least a point tomorrow night from Ibrox.
Rangers face the former European Cup holders in the Europa League in what will be their third game in the new-look format after a win at Malmo and a home defeat to Lyon.
And Goian - who played for Rangers for just over a year in 2011 and even played two games in the Third Division before eventually leaving the club - has backed Steaua to pile on the pain for Philippe Clement.
He said: "I saw the Rangers match at Kilmarnock at the weekend. They did not impress me at all.

"I thought they were very predictable when they attacked and nothing they did surprised me.
"Steaua Bucharest are in good form, the players are in good morale and just won a derby match.
"In my view, Steaua will get at least a point at Ibrox.
"They will be very motivated because the game is at Ibrox and they will enjoy playing there.
"I think they will be relaxed and I believe they will play an extremely good game and get a positive result.
"Ibrox is a very beautiful stadium. The fans sing, they support their team, but if Steaua play without fear and have plenty of possession, which I think will happen, it will silence the Rangers fans.
"I have been really impressed with Daniel Birligea - he is in great shape and scores a lot of goals.
"He's a player who is on the crest of a wave.
"The only disappointment is that Darius Olaru cannot play because he is suspended. He is a big loss."
