Rangers host the Dutch side at Ibrox on Thursday night.
The Gers’ home support can be as full-throated in their support as many teams around Europe and have the ability to create a unique and special night for all the players involved on the pitch.
Vermeer, who has been a regular for his side this season, believes it’ll be the perfect follow up to playing against Celtic a number of years ago with Ajax.
As quoted by The Scottish Sun, he said: “I’ve played against Celtic in Glasgow, but never against Rangers. I am really looking forward to it.
“I’ve seen the pictures of Ibrox in Old Firm games and I can’t wait to experience this.
“You know what you are getting in Scotland – it’s always a madhouse! I can’t wait.”
The 12th man?
Rangers are unbeaten at home in European competition under Steven Gerrard so the players certainly seem to respond well to big backing from the stands under the lights at Ibrox.
Last season, the team’s only victory in the group stages came at home on a passionate night against Rapid Vienna.
There’s no doubt that the atmosphere can play a role in unsettling Feyenoord during the 90 minutes this week, even if their players are looking forward to it prior to turning up.
If Gerrard’s side are going to make any sort of progress in the competition then they must win their home matches. It was a key failing last season when 0-0 draws against Spartak Moscow and Villarreal cost them dearly.
Can the crowd inspire their team to a big result this week?
