Team Analysis
Rangers Glasgow: Rangers have had a rough start to the season, failing to win in seven consecutive matches. Despite this, they managed to secure a valuable draw against Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League qualification, which could give them a confidence boost. However, their main challenge is balancing their domestic league commitments with European competition. Manager Philippe Clement will need to rotate his squad carefully to avoid fatigue.

Their performances in the League Cup were mixed, but they showed resilience by securing two wins and drawing twice, including a penalty shootout victory.
