Domenico Tedesco can't wait to take his RB Leipzig side to "incredible" Ibrox.

And he's warned his stars they won't be in for an easy ride after Rangers knocked out Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund earlier in their Europa League run.

On April 28 Gio van Bronckhorst will take his team to the Saxony city in the semi-finals before the Ibrox return leg on May 5.

It comes after Rangers dumped Braga out with an extra-time triumph while Leipzig were ruthless as they downed Serie A upstarts Atalanta 2-0 in Begamo.

And Tedesco is full of respect for Rangers and can't wait to sample Ibrox for himself.

He said: "Playing at Ibrox Stadium is something incredible for every footballer. The atmosphere there is very special.

"When you're in the semi-finals, you always want to go one step further and reach the final, but Rangers definitely have that goal too.

"They're a really good team and we've all seen that in the course of the competition.

"They knocked Borussia Dortmund out over two legs, and when they can knock out teams of that calibre, you get a sense of the quality Rangers have.

"These will be two intense games that we're really looking forward to.

"On the one hand, everything is very hectic, of course. But on the other, these are the games that you live for as a footballer.

"When you’re still in with a chance of winning two competitions and doing well in the league, it’s fantastic."
