Since the final flight a week ago, Giovanni van Bronckhorst has maintained a steady stance on Rangers Europa League power.
Nothing has been won yet.
Typically pragmatic of the Ibrox boss and it remains to be seen how he will tackle the second leg against the Red Star in Serbia tonight.
Will the Rangers have the weapons and the science to put an end to a goal or two as a contest when they take their 3-0 lead?
Or is it a case of closing the store and hoping that these three goals are enough to see them across the line?
Whatever the approach, there is so much at stake and no doubt expect a raucous atmosphere in the Marakana in the center of Belgrade.
Alfredo Morelos is now the top scorer currently active player in the Europa League and he could have more heroes on his sleeve, although he is one of a number of players pulling with a suspension.
However, the visitors’ hopes that the home crowd will shout at them to turn the tie on their head with an attacking line-up revealed by Dejan Stankovic.
Red Star: Borjan; Piccini, Rodic, Dragovic, Erakovic, Sanogo, Ivanic, Kanga, Katai, Omoijuanfo, Pavkov. Subs: Popovic, Gordic, Gajic, Pankov, Krsicic, Falco, Motika, Zivkovic, Ben Nabouhane, Radulovic, Gobelijic.
Rangers: McGregor, Tavernier, Goldson, Balogun, Bassey, Jack, Lundstram, Kamara, Aribo, Kent, Morelos. Subs: McLaughlin, McCrorie, Barisic, King, Ramsey, Sands, Arfield, Lowry, Diallo Wright, Roofe, Sakala.
