Steven Whittaker says Rangers have a point to prove when they take on Malmo in their Champions League qualifier.
"We have to put right what went wrong in the game last week," the full-back said of last week's 1-0 home defeat in the third qualifying round first leg.
"We know we weren't at it in the first leg and we are determined to put it right this time. We need to score goals to go through."
Whittaker says Rangers have added belief after beating St Johnstone 2-0.
Rangers played poorly in the first-half of their season-opening home draw with Hearts and than against Malmo but made a better start in Perth.
"It's definitely something we can take into this game," said Whittaker.
"We've had a slow start to the season, but we looked better at the weekend.

"It settled the whole squad down. It was our first win of the season and it just took that little bit of pressure off.
"Hopefully, we can stay strong at the back but be quite offensive as well. It's important that we start well."
Malmo's domestic league match against Djurgardens was abandoned after just 11 minutes on Saturday after firecrackers were thrown on the pitch - the second time this season that a match has been halted at the Swedbank Stadium.
But Rangers manager Ally McCoist has no concerns about the safety of his players in a stadium that will be bereft of Rangers fans because of their own European ban.
"These things happen in football and it goes without saying that we could do without them, but our players will be fine," he said.
"They are totally focused on the game. I've got no concerns at all about anything like that."
McCoist admits he has no idea how the disruption to Malmo's preparations will impact on the clash with Rangers.
"It could work for or against us," he said. "You could say they have had a bit of a rest.
Whittaker hopes to make amends for Rangers' first-leg slackness
"I looked at the team and the coach maybe rested one or two players and then it ended up with the vast majority of them getting a rest with the game only lasting for 11 minutes.
"You could look at it that way, or you could look at it that they could have done with a match."
McCoist is not overawed by the prospect of having to overcome the deficit following Daniel Larsson's first-leg winner.
"The game is perfectly poised in the respect that both management teams have got a lot to think about," he said.
"Strangely, it might be to our benefit that we know we need to score.
"Malmo have got the decisions to make - whether to come out and go for the goal which they think might be the killer goal, or do they sit back and try to hit us on the break.
"The one definite is the fact we need to score. If we don't do that, we're out.
"In that respect, we know we have to score at least one goal and it was encouraging that Nikica Jelavic and Steven Naismith were both on the scoresheet on Saturday."
