The general expectation is on the English side tonight. Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. The Glasgow club have already been defeated by a Braga this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the league rankings at the midpoint of the group stage with precisely zero points. They badly want a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a late surge for a playoff spot. Coverage will persist with all the evening matches and provide the current standings from the earlier matches, including the Birmingham match and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
