RANGERS have it all to do if they are to keep their dream of a first Champions League campaign since 2010 alive.
They were a penalty shootout away from qualifying directly for the group stage when they were beaten by Frankfurt in the Europa League final.
But instead they are facing Union Saint-Gilloise, who are very much on an upward trajectory after finishing in second position in the Jupiler League the year after winning promotion.
And Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men were outmatched physically in the first leg, succumbing to a 2-0 defeat in Leuven.
However, they may feel hard done by after VAR awarded a controversial penalty to the Belgians after an alleged Connor Goldson handball.
Rangers will still hold hopes of another famous European night at Ibrox though, and their hopes are boosted by the fact that the away goals rule no longer comes into play.
