GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST insists Rangers will treat Annan with full respect ahead of their Scottish Cup clash at Galabank.

The champions have their sights set on a place in the quarter-finals as they attempt to end their long wait for knock-out silverware this season.

A glamour trip to face Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Europa League tie awaits Van Bronckhorst and his players next week.

But the Light Blues boss is only focused on the job in hand this evening as Rangers look to avoid being the victims of a huge cup upset at the hands of their League Two hosts.

Van Bronckhorst said: "We are a club who were champions last year and we want to compete for every prize in every competition that we are in.

"The Scottish Cup this year, we want to be winning the cup. That is our aim, that is our goal. That is what we want to achieve.

"It is different that we are used to but it is also the circumstances that we have to deal with. It is still a pitch, still eleven versus eleven and one ball so that is no different.

"For me, it doesn’t matter if you play in front of a full stadium of 50,000 or at a small stadium with 2,500.

"At the end, we want to go into the next round and we have to be focused and respect the opponent that we are facing and make sure we get a good performance.

"There won’t be complacency from our side. That’s what I said. You have to respect the opponent.

"We are there to win the game and go to the next round but upsets are always there in cup competitions.

"If we just play our level from the last games, we should win the game. That’s our obligation and also our aim."
