What channel is Rangers vs USG? Live stream, TV, ref, VAR and team news for Europa League clash
Royale Union Saint-Gilloise will be determined to silence a sold out Ibrox as they come to Glasgow.
The Belgians will be familiar foes for Rangers boss Philippe Clement, and Gers midfielder Nicolas Raskin, from their time in the country - and arrive in Glasgow level on points with their opponents. Meaning both clubs still have a chance of making into the last 16 automatically, without the need for a nerve-shredding playoff tie. However USG will be weakened after finishing with just nine men in their bad-tempered clash against Braga last time out - with their opponents also seeing two men sent off.
Rangers meanwhile have saved the best of their football for Europe over the last few seasons, and this year is no exception. Already effectively out of the Premiership title race, Philippe Clement can focus his full attentions on a Europa League assault - as he looks to go one better than Giovanni van Bronckhorst managed in 2022 by lifting European silverware. In Hamza Igamane Gers have unearthed a real gem, whilst the mercurial Cyriel Dessers looks to be benefitting from not being the only option in attack - following up his hat-trick against Fraserburgh with brilliant goals against Manchester United and Dundee United.
