Rangers boss Walter Smith has backed his side to score in the second leg of their UEFA Cup semi-final against Fiorentina, following a goalless first leg at Ibrox.
The Gers struggled to break down the Serie A side in front of their own fans, but Smith has seen his side impress on their travels throughout their European journey.
He said: "We have been drawn at home first in every tie that we've had this season both in the Champions League and UEFA Cup.
"If you don't concede the away goal, you're always in with a chance when you go away from home. Not conceding the away goal gives us that opportunity.
"We can take a bit of confidence from the away games that we've played this season.
"In the Champions League we have managed to score away from home against Stuttgart and Lyon and we have scored away from home in Lisbon and Panathinaikos in the UEFA Cup.
"I don't think any of these places are places teams would relish going having to win a game, but we have managed to go and score."
