Olympiacos goal hero Kristoffer Velde has warned Rangers he's desperate to make it three in a row in tomorrow's Europa League showdown.
Rangers face a difficult task against the Europa Conference League holders in Athens as they prepare to play their fourth game in the group.
The Greek side splashed out £5 million to land Norwegian winger Velde in the summer from Polish side Lech Poznan and, after a sluggish start for his new club, he's finding form.
He's scored in his last two games for Olympiacos against Panserraikos and Kallithea and wants to make it a hat-trick against the Ibrox side.
He said: "I am just trying to do my best and help the team. I have scored two goals in a row. Now I want to make it three against Rangers.

"It has been a difficult period for me since I signed, but this week has been good because of my goals and we needed the points.
"Every game is different and we will have to take a different approach against Rangers.
"I think we weren't as intensive perhaps as we should be and we have been gifting too many chances to the opposition recently.
"I expect Rangers to try and hurt us with counter-attacks and if we are not fully focussed, they can damage us."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
