Rangers manager Jo Potter has been plotting ways for her team to hurt Arsenal in their Champions League qualifier.

The SWPL side will be massive underdogs when they take on the Super League club in London on Wednesday night.

Fresh off a 10-0 away win over Dundee United on Sunday, Potter knows they can expect a much tougher test against the Gunners.

She said: “We are looking good, we have had a good week of preparation, it’s been a short turnaround from the weekend’s game, obviously playing midweek is tough to do because you have to focus on the weekend game previous to that.

“We had to try and prepare for playing against Dundee United and playing against Arsenal, which is very different for us, but I think we have done the best that we can.

“You are going from playing against a part-time team in Scotland to playing against a fully elite team like Arsenal who have been full-time for many years now.

“So the preparations have to be very different, against Dundee United we are expected to have the lion’s share of possession, and we know that probably won’t be the case coming up against Arsenal.

“We have had to work between the two and do as much as we can to respect both opponents. As always we look at how we can hurt each opponent and try to focus on that side of it as well.”

Rangers come into the game in red hot form after scoring 43 goals and conceding none in their first five league games in Scotland.
