Rangers have been warned to shackle Belgian attacker Mike Tresor if they are to have their best shot of knocking Willem II out of the Europa League.

The two sides clash in the Netherlands tomorrow evening in the third round qualifier with a match against Galatasaray or HNK Hajduk Split awaiting them in the play-off if they can make it through.

Dutch journalist Max van der Put, of national newspaper Brabants Dagblad, has outlined Tresor Ndayishimiye as one of their top players. And he says Gers must be ready for a long night against the NEC loanee who has been linked with moves across Europe this season.

Mr van der Put also revealed some areas of the pitch where Steven Gerrard's men might be able to cause some damage of their own.

"Most eyes lately have been on the Belgian attacking midfielder Mike Tresor," Van der Put told Herald and Times Sport. "Recently he scored twice for Belgium under-21s against Germany.

"One of their main strengths is the amount of attacking options they have. Last weekend, for examle, Willem II didn't play well in the first half at 0-0. The coach Adrie Koster made two substitutions and within 7 minutes it was 3-0."

Van der Put believes Willem II's main weakness for the big game will be their lack of experience on the European stage. And he pinpointed Gers' potential to give their backline a torrid evening. "They lack experience with European football," he added. 

"Willem II didn't play in Europe for 15 years. From this squad only a few players have ever played European club matches.

"They also have some injured defenders and their wingers also picked up injuries recently."
