Rangers are one round of fixtures away from a return to the UEFA Champions League proper.
They face Belgian side Club Brugge across two legs in the playoff round for the right to enter European football’s elite competition.
Rangers faced the Belgian side during pre-season drawing 2-2 at Ibrox after going 2-0 down early doors, but now with an added competitive edge, Rangers are up against a combative, seasoned Champions League side.
With recent form far from convincing, Russell Martin and his side need to be at their best if they are to advance, and they need the support of Ibrox behind them.
However, if you can’t make the match tonight, here is everything you need to know:
