Scared Marian warns defence

Aug 3 2008 By Gavin Berry

KAUNAS keeper Marian Kello insists his defence must play the game of their lives to dump Rangers on Tuesday night.

The man between the sticks for the Lithuanians is expecting a busy night in the Darius and Girenas Stadium.

The 25-year-old Slovakian managed to shut out the Light Blues at Ibrox in the first leg but Walter Smith's side will go all out to make up for that disappointment by gunning for glory in the return.

And Kello said: "We need to play the best match ever in defence if we are to eliminate Rangers.

"It won't be easy but our aim is to prepare as much as we can in training for the type of match we expect.

"The coach was happy after the game at Ibrox and congratulated us in the dressing roombut he also warned us we've achieved nothing yet.

"The tie is now 50-50 because if Rangers score then it totally changes the outlook on the game.

"We don't fear Rangers. Technically and in terms of experience they are superior but they couldn't score against us in 90 minutes in their home ground and that's what counts."
