Leon Balogun has said that the Rangers cannot afford to lose Fenerbahce by José Mourinho in his next UEFA Europa League clash.
Light Blues lost 2-1 against Motherwell at Ibrox on Saturday.
Barry Ferguson’s team will be in action against Fenerbahce in the first round of the 16 -draw round at the Sukru Saracoglu stadium on Thursday.
Balogun calculated that it is important that the Gers win again.
“I think I played against Mourinho only once,” he was summoned by Belfast Telegraph.
“That was my debut in the Premier League and we defeated it (Manchester United) with Brighton 3-2 at home. So that is a very amateur memory.
“He is a very, very big character. A very big manager in the world of football and there is a lot of respect that you must have by name.

“Personally, I enjoy their press conferences because many people, I think, call it arrogant.
“It could be. But I think he is a very special character. And I think you need some characters that are not too generic in football to keep it entertaining.
“And also to give them (the media) something to write.
“It’s a great opportunity for us on Thursday. Actually, I could help us play the first game after what happened at the national level and that the followers return to our side.
“But, again, we need to take at least two mass steps from today to get a result there.
“It probably helps play European football immediately later, a week later. So it is a great opportunity, a great opportunity.
“And we really need to put everything in the game. We have to do it anyway, but now even more. “
