Read Time:1 Minute, 0 Second
Rangers defender, Leon Balogun is eyeing a place in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
The Light Blues will take on Ukraine’s Dynamo Kiev in the first leg of the third qualifying round in Kiev on Wednesday.
Victory over two legs will guarantee a place in the money spinning group stage of the competition.
The 36-year-old said the ambition to reach the group stage is his biggest motivation.
“I have never played in the Champions League, I have played in qualifiers before, for Rangers as well, it didn’t work out,” Balogun told a press conference ahead of the clash in Lublin.
“At this stage of my career it would be one of my biggest achievements, that is my personal motivation and I’m sure every single player who came out here today has their own individual reasons to go to the group stages.
“I think everybody is very determined to put in a performance tomorrow. It has obviously been a quick turnaround, but it is a big occasion.”
The Nigeria international signed a one-year contract extension with Rangers earlier this summer.
