A Dutch football icon has brazenly admitted he 'doesn't like' Rangers.

Rafael van der Vaart made the statement while speaking on television in The Netherlands.

He and fellow Dutch legend Ruud Gullit were looking ahead to this week's crucial Champions League play-off second leg between PSV and the Ibrox club.

The game is finely poised at 2-2 after an intense 90 minutes in Glasgow last week.

So, the winner takes all at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven tomorrow night, with the prize of Champions League group stage football and all the riches that come with that at stake.

The Eredivisie side are seeking revenge on Rangers, with Antonio Colak knocking them out of qualifying at the exact same stage last season.

And ex-Ajax and Tottenham star Van der Vaart has backed PSV to do the job on home soil, throwing in an unexpected curveball about his personal dislike of Rangers.

He told Rondo's Ziggo Sport: "I really don't like Rangers at all. It used to be great to play against Scottish teams.

"They don't cover through and there are a lot of spaces. It always seems to be something at home, because it's an impressive stadium with that audience behind it. Only I really can't imagine that PSV won't get through."

Gullit came in: "I think you underestimate it. If PSV were that good, you should have won it big and you didn’t. You do dominate, but you create very little. Rangers wait just as long until you make a mistake. "
