Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack thinks clubs across Europe will sit up and take notice of their historic win over Borussia Dortmund.
The Scottish champions stunned the Bundesliga outfit with a 4-2 win in the first leg of the knockout round play-off in Germany last week and the return game in Glasgow was equally pulsating.
Gers skipper James Tavernier scored from the spot in the 22nd minute but goals from England international Jude Bellingham on the half-hour mark and striker Donyell Malan had the super-charged Bundesliga visitors ahead at the interval.
Tavernier turned anxiety back to joy when he levelled in the 57th minute and Rangers tightened up in the nervy second half where Ryan Kent had a 'goal' chopped off through VAR but at the end of a frenetic night the Light Blues fans celebrated one of the finest European outcomes in the club's history.
Jack said: ”Yeah, I think it will be noticed. I think there’s gonna be a lot of people would have predicted Borussia Dortmund would have gone through.
“People are going to sit up and take notice. It’s a huge result for us.
“If we get that sort of performance and atmosphere at Ibrox, there won’t be many who want to come here and face us.
“For me, it’s probably the best atmosphere I’ve played in,” he said. “Even from the warm-up, it was electric.
“As I touched on before, if the fans turn up and give us that support then there’s not many teams that will fancy coming.
“As you see tonight, we respond of that support. The players get that good feeling off the fans being right behind us and I’m sure they’ll be here from now until the end of the season.”
