What channel is Rangers v FCSB on? TV, live stream and team news for Europa League clash at Ibrox

Philippe Clement’s side head into the game battered and bruised after their late 1-0 defeat at Rugby Park left them trailing both Celtic and Aberdeen by six points in the Scottish Premiership, and a win feels vital for the Gers if spirits are to be lifted.

The Belgian saw his side open their European campaign with an eye-catching 2-0 away win over Swedish champions Malmo in the opening game of the competition last month, but a 4-1 home thrashing by Lyon last time out brought the Gers back down to earth with a bang.

As for the visitors, FCSB enter the game in sixth place in the Europa League table after picking up maximum points from their opening two Europa League games, defeating both PAOK (1-0) and FK RFS (4-1). Reports have claimed the visitors are set to make a raft of changes, but Rangers boss Clement insists he is solely concentrated on how his side perform, rather than the opposition.

“We are going to keep on working hard to make things better as fast as possible,” he said. “People who are not happy now, I understand, I totally understand. It is about creating consistency again, creating momentum with the results and to create stability. Everybody must work hard to get that in the next weeks and months to come.”
