Steven Davis admits he will have a personal point to prove when Rangers take on Manchester United in their highly-anticipated Champions League opener.
While most within the ranks of the Scottish champions will be facing the Barclays Premier League giants for the first time in their careers, Davis is all too familiar with the might of Tuesday's opponents. He came up against Sir Alex Ferguson's men on a number of occasions with both Aston Villa and Fulham without taking so much as a single point from those encounters.
"I've never won there or got a result against them so hopefully I can put that to bed," said Davis. "We know how difficult the task ahead of us is and we know they are a great team. But it will be a great game for us to play in, there will be a good atmosphere and it's one the fans and players are looking forward to."
Rangers suffered a 4-0 aggregate defeat the last time the clubs met back in 2003 but Davis insists writing off the Scots completely would be dangerous.
He said: "In my experience of playing with Northern Ireland, we are always the underdogs and have played against some of the big nations and got results, especially at home.
"That's something we need to do, we need to be difficult to beat first and foremost and go on from there.
"I think it's a harder draw this year than we had last year to be honest, with the teams we've got this time.
"But we let ourselves down last year and we would like to put that right."
