Naturally, the Ibrox club’s supporters took this an invitation to respond and flooded the account with plenty of messages explaining that Rangers will be Ready for the fight.

Antwerp entered the Europa League last 32 after finishing second in Group J, behind English giants Tottenham Hotspur and in front of Austrian’s LASK and Bulgarian’s Ludogorets.
The Belgian side also managed to beat a strong Jose Mourinho’s Spurs side 1-0 in the first game between the two teams, which shows they’re not to be underestimated.
Rangers have already been to Belgium this season having played Standard Liege in the group stages where they enjoyed a 2-0 win in Belgium and a 3-2 victory at Ibrox.
Here’s how the Rangers support reacted to the draw with many quite confident that Steven Gerrard’s charges can progress against the Great Old.
