Papac: We Can Go The Distance

Feb 24 2008 By Gordon Waddell

SASA PAPAC insists Rangers have the squad go the distance on four fronts this season.

Gers grafted their way into the last 16 of the UEFA Cup on Thursday night with six top team regulars sidelined from their starting line-up.

And the Bosnian reckons that proves they have the depth to take on the workload of a domestic treble and Europe.

The 28-year-old said: "We are well suited to playing away from home especially in Europe.

"Everything is possible for us because we have a big squad of 25 players which is equipped to handle these difficult games.

"We're not concerned about the fixture pile-up - we are confident with our squad."

With Werder Bremen lying in wait for Gers in 11 days Papac has a head start on his homework.

He said: "I know their team well. Their Croatian player Jurica Vranjes is a friend of mine and a top midfielder. It will be a tricky tie."
