[Python] Python ValueError: XPath error: Unregistered function

<img alt="MediaMarkt" border="0" e-editable="img" src="http://news-de.mediamarkt.de/custloads/298149669/vce/mediamarkt.png" style="display:block;" width="169"/>


I am trying to get the src from HTML, I have the alt value then using it I try to get the image

company_name = "mediamarkt"
response.xpath(f'//img[lower-case(@alt)="{company_name.lower()}"]') #Error
response.xpath(f"//img[matches(@alt,'{company_name}','i')]") # Error


Error I am getting:

I got those XPath from case-insensitive matching in xpath?
