Rangers youngster Tom Walsh believes his side need to conjure up the spirit of the "Helicopter Sunday" title triumph 10 years ago if they are to battle their way back from the brink this weekend.
The Ibrox side made a huge mess of the first leg of their Scottish Premiership play-off final with Motherwell after crumbling to a 3-1 Ibrox defeat.
But Walsh insists Gers cannot wallow in that shock loss and urged his team-mates to rise to the occasion when they travel to Fir Park for Sunday's return.
And he also suggested his colleagues should look back to the final day of the 2005 campaign when the Light Blues snatched the SPL crown away from Celtic with a little help from Well frontman Scott McDonald - now ironically back with the Steelmen and hoping to shoot down Rangers' hopes of promotion.
Former defender Marvin Andrews made himself a fans favourite during that title chase with his "believe" motto and it was a phrase the current Rangers teen repeated time and again as he faced the media at the club's pre-match press conference.
Winger Walsh, 18, said: "It's been a long three years for everyone here, so you could say Sunday's game is one of the biggest games in the club's history.
"We all want to get back to where we want to be, and to do it in three years.
"We are still in it. We've taken it to the last game and we're by no means out of it.
"No-one here wants to be remembered as being part of the team that failed to get promotion. We can't change the position we are in but we will give everything on Sunday.
"Getting the goal back at the end has probably kept us in the tie. Three-nil would have been very difficult to come back from.
"So we are still in it. The first goal will be massive on Sunday. We believe if we get it or even if we don't that we will go right to the end. We have nothing to lose now.
"We need to replicate the kind of thing we saw 10 years ago on Helicopter Sunday.
"We are under no illusions about how difficult it will be. But we believe if we can get the first goal we can put the pressure on Motherwell, hopefully pin them back and take it from there."
