Rangers' Michael Beale gives promise for PSV tie after Servette leads him to ask question of players

“We need to improve,” he said. “The level goes up with PSV. We know how big a game that was for both clubs last year, it is huge again this year, and they are in good form. But, listen, it’s Rangers, it’s Ibrox, and next week we will go hell for leather. But before that we have a League Cup game [at home to Greenock Morton] that is also important. They have an excellent coach [in Peter Bosz], they have recruited well in the summer, spent big money. We know the atmosphere in both stadiums will be great and there is nothing not to love about this game. It is a straight knock-out to get into the Champions League. So let’s have a right go. Let’s not have any regrets after the two legs. Let’s make sure next week it is a caldron at Ibrox and we take that to Eindhoven.

“The whole team was too passive first half [away to Servette]. We were 15-20 yards deeper than we wanted to be and we were much better in the second half. We were up the pitch, we won more duels, we regained the ball higher up the pitch, which gave us more opportunities. We have to decide what team we’re going to be. We spoke about that at half-time and I was delighted with our response in the second half. It should take to half-time to do that. What team do we want to be? I want us to be a much more front foot and positive team. I felt in the first half we were a little bit passive and at this level I don’t think you can afford to do that. We still had chances but it wasn’t how I want my team to play and it’s not how those boys in the dressing room want to play either.”
