Unirea Urziceni manager Dan Petrescu fears that Rangers may channel their hurt over losing 4-1 to the Romanians at Ibrox two weeks ago into a revenge attack of offensive play.
The Scots were stunned by the supposed minnows from Romania in the Champions League, blowing an early lead to slump to an embarrassing defeat in front of their own fans.
Now former Chelsea defender Petrescu says that his side's opponents will be looking to redeem themselves in Bucharest with a big result, saying that any scoreline is possible come full-time.
"I'm firmly convinced that we'll have another kind of match than in Glasgow two weeks ago," said Petrescu. "Rangers won't consider us outsiders anymore and will look more seriously to our play.
"I presume that they will come here for revenge, but to win at a higher score. Their attitude will be more offensive than in the first leg and they'll play everything on attack. Anything is possible tomorrow, any score."
Whilst many Rangers fans will be hopeful Petrescu's prediction of an away victory is accurate, it is more likely that the manager is trying to employ similar mind games to those seen prior to the match at Ibrox.
Before the game, he heaped pressure on the players by saying: “Rangers are the better team, it’s a bigger club than us and they have more experience in this competition and if they don’t win tomorrow I think it is going to be a big disaster for the club. We have nothing to lose."
When asked if he felt Unirea could beat Rangers in Scotland, he simply replied: “I don’t know. We will try.”
Pressed further on whether he would be satisfied with a draw at Ibrox, he answered: “Any point for us is good in this competition.
