Quarter-finals the target for Hiddink's Russia

Lucerne, Switzerland - Guus Hiddink believes Russia have been drawn in an evenly balanced group after Sunday's Euro 2008 finals draw in Lucerne put his side up against Greece, Sweden and Spain in Group D. "I have already taken on Greece when I was coach of Australia," said the Dutchman.

"There is no outsider in this group but I think the other three teams are glad to have us as an opponent. But qualification isn't enough for us, we want to cause a surprise and progress to the quarter-finals."

Russia's first game is on June 10 against Spain in the Austrian city of Innsbruck, followed by Greece in Salzburg four days later. Russia's final group game is against Sweden on June 18 back in Innsbruck.
