Didier Zokora insists Sevilla are not certainties to beat Rangers in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
The Spanish outfit have arrived in Glasgow full of confidence on the back of four consecutive wins in La Liga.
The bookies have Sevilla as the favourites for the game, although Zokora knows his team-mates will have to be on song to win at Ibrox.
The former Spurs man believes Rangers are the strongest side in Scotland and that their fans will make it difficult.
Asked if Sevilla would win in Glasgow, Zokora said: "I'm not sure because, in football, sometimes you play well, sometimes you play badly.
Very difficult"But tomorrow I know the game is very difficult because Glasgow (Rangers) have a big stadium, a lot of fans.
"Glasgow are the best team in Scotland, but I think Sevilla is better than Glasgow!"
Zokora is expecting an aggressive encounter and thinks that keeping Pedro Mendes quiet could be the key to success.
"I know the Scottish league and it's very aggressive," he continued. "But there are a lot of good players like Pedro Mendes.
"I know him and he's a very good player."
