Rangers are out to maintain their perfect start in the revamped group stage of the Europa League when they welcome Lyon to Ibrox on Thursday night.

Philippe Clement's men got up and running with a fine 2-0 away victory against Malmo last week, and the narrow 1-0 win against Hibs on Sunday means that the Gers go into the European clash off the back of four consecutive victories in all competitions. They face a Lyon side that have made an underwhelming start in Ligue 1 with two wins, one draw and three losses from their first six matches, but are also on three points after the first round of matches in the Europa League after defeating Olympiacos 2-1.

Having been unavailable for Rangers loss to Dynamo Kyiv in their failed bid to qualify for the Champions League, Ibrox will open its gates for a European fixture for the first time this season, and Gers diehards will be looking to inspire their team to another famous night on the continent at the famous old stadium.
