RANGERS survived hell in Istanbul without being burned.
And Connor Barron insists they're ready to handle the heat at home too and blaze a trail into the Europa League quarter-finals.
The backdrop to tonight's blockbuster tie with Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce is as explosive a mix of fortunes as you could imagine.
While last week's sensational 3-1 victory in the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium cauldron was as impressive as it was unexpected it's now cranked up the expecta- tion on Barry Ferguson's squad to finish the job at Ibrox.
And it goes without saying their last three outings on home turf suggest that red-hot pressure might not to be everyone in Ferguson's squad’s liking.
Defeats to Motherwell, St Mirren and Queen's Park have turned Ibrox from a fortress into something more akin to a feeding ground for hungry domestic rivals.
It sees the current squad on the brink of making unwanted history as the first Rangers side to lose four home games on the trot EVER.
Ferguson said himself after last week's win in Turkey that playing at Ibrox has become a bit of a problem lately.
But Barron has promised this side won't wilt in the ferocious Fenerbahce fire tonight.
