Nikica Jelavic may be forced to look on from the sidelines when Rangers take on Manchester United in the Champions League but he has backed his new team-mates to pull off a shock result at Old Trafford.
The Croatian striker is well aware that the Barclays Premier League giants are favourites, not only to win Tuesday's opener, but to top a group that also includes Valencia and Turkish champions Bursaspor.
But he pointed out that Rangers had been firm favourites to cruise to victory against Hamilton in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League and needed to battle to the final minute to find the goal that secured the win at New Douglas Park.
"I think we have a chance," he said. "Manchester United is a big team but, in our game, they were 100% and we were a little down and thought it would be easy. Maybe this could also happen in the Champions League.
"You never know. Maybe if we are 100%, we can take some points there."
