PRE-MATCH QUOTES

Rangers defender Declan John: "It is a massive club and all the fans are looking for you to win every game. We have a good group of boys here and hopefully we can get the win on Saturday.

"I think once you have played football for a few seasons you get used to the pressure, so I'm confident things will go well.

"It's been tough not playing, I think it's been the change of managers at Cardiff more than anything that probably caused that. Now I just want to come up here and do well."
