RANGERS will be looking to hold on to their lead in the Last 32 tie against Braga.
Steven Gerrard’s men won 3-2 at Ibrox last week thanks to a Ianis Hagi double.

Stat attack!
- The first leg was the first meeting between the two clubs
- Braga have only gotten past this stage on four occasions in the past – including reaching the final in 2011
- Rangers star Ianis Hagi is looking to emulate his father by winning Europe’s second competition – 20 years after Gheorghe won it with Galatasaray
What are the odds?
Braga are heavy favourites to beat Rangers, who are 3/1 to be victorious in Portugal.
Another goal for Hagi is being priced at 7/2, or 40/1 to grab a brace – repeating the feat from the Ibrox leg.
Yet, the match could still go to extra time if it finishes 3-2, which is also a 40/1 shot.
