Rangers would be hosting Rapid Vienna in what should be one of the most exciting clashes in the Europa League this week.
Steven Gerard has made a good start to his managerial career after surprisingly accepting to become the Bhoys’ manager in the summer. He has been a huge success in no other place than in Europe and he would be hoping to earn the first win of the group stages with his side in this game.
Rangers have not lost any of their games in the Europa League this season, a run which stretches to 9 matches. They earned an impressive 2-2 draw at Villarreal on Matchday 1 and they would be looking to get a home win here.
Rapid Vienna haven’t played as many games as Rangers in this competition this season. This would be their 6th game in the competition. They lost both of their away qualifying matches 2-1 each but earned a 2-0 win over Spartak Moscow in their last game in this competition.
Their Austrian Bundesliga campaign hasn’t got off to the best of starts as they sit way down in 8th place with just 9 points from their opening 9 games.
This will be the first meeting between the sides.
