Rangers head coach Russell Martin says Thursday's Europa League tie against Sturm Graz is a chance to have a "brilliant night" after grabbing a first league win of the season.
The club shook off a disappointing defeat by Genk in the Europa League opener at Ibrox to snatch their maiden league triumph late on against Livington.
It was just Rangers' fifth victory of a difficult campaign and they are yet to win consecutive matches under the former Southampton boss.
"I'm looking forward to it, especially off the back of a good feeling in the group after Sunday," Martin said.
"I believe it's been a good week. We had a difficult evening last Thursday because we had a man sent off for a long period of time, so that wasn't easy, but they stuck together through that.
"Beat Hibs, played well, played better against Livingston, especially in the first half. Should have scored a few more goals.
"And then showed a lot of character and dug in together and showed a lot of spirit, a lot of fight and willingness to run. That's really increased over the last three or four weeks, that feeling of spirit in the group. So I've enjoyed that.
"I'm looking forward to seeing what they put on the pitch tomorrow."
