Rangers manager Walter Smith has backed his side to continue their impressive away form in Europe and book their place in the UEFA Cup Final with victory over Fiorentina.
The two sides lock horns in Florence on Thursday evening with the semi-final tie poised on a knife-edge at 0-0 following a tight first leg in Glasgow last week.
Rangers overcame a goalless first leg to win 2-0 against Sporting Lisbon in Portugal to reach the last four.
"For all their effort, the boys deserve to go to the final now," Smith told the club's official website.
"They have worked exceptionally hard. It would be great if we could make it.
"It will not be easy, but we have shown this season that we can score away and hopefully we can do it again.
"The lads realise they might not get another chance like this one so it's one they need to grab."
