Genk skipper Bryan Heynen insists they’re already looking past Rangers

Genk skipper Bryan Heynen insists they are already looking beyond Rangers because they are desperate to play Champions League group stage football.

Rangers will play the winners of the tie between Genk and Servette in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, with the Belgian and Swiss sides tied at 1-1 after the first leg last week.

They meet tomorrow in the return leg in Belgium and Genk warmed up for the game with a 4-0 weekend thrashing of RWD. Molenbeek in the first league game of the season.

And Heynen is desperate for Genk to return to the group stage of the competition for the first time in four years, since they lost five out of their six games to Liverpool, Napoli and Red Bull Salzburg in 2019.

He said: “The match against Servette is extremely important.

“We are desperate to reach the Champions League group stage, so we will do everything we can to win.

“We all dream of the Champions League here again. Everyone wants to play at the highest level.

“The opportunity of getting to the group stage is something that hugely motivates us. I would love to have another go at that level.

“We are going to give everything on Wednesday and then we will see what happens in the next round if we can defeat Servette.”
