Malmo boss Henrik Rydstrom has issued an ominous warning to Rangers after insisting Olympiacos, their next Europa League opponent, are 'levels' above them.
Philippe Clement's side have got off to a good start in the new-look competition with two wins out of three so far, including an opening game win in Sweden against Malmo.
They face Europa Conference League winners Olympiacos on November 7 in Athens, who also went to Sweden and defeated Malmo last week.
And Rydstrom was impressed with the Greeks.
He said: "I believe we played better against Olympiacos than we did against Rangers at home. But Olympiacos are a level above Rangers too.
"They are a very solid team that works hard and plays well and they had better opportunities than us.
"Olympiacos were just as good as I thought. They are clearly a quality team."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
