Full details ahead of the Champions League qualifier between Panathinaikos and Rangers at the Athens Olympic Stadium.
Rangers will look to make further progress in Europe as they head to Panathinaikos in the second leg of the Champions League second qualifying round this week.
Entering the game with a two goal advantage thanks to last week’s 2-0 first leg win, Russell Martin’s side had Findlay Curtis and Djeidi Gassama to thank at Ibrox, with the duo’s long range efforts handing Rangers a strong lead going into Wednesday’s game in Athens.
Their Greek hosts will feel far from out of the tie though, with Panathinaikos hoping they can make home advantage count and wipe out the Gers lead on home soil to progress to the competition’s penultimate qualifying stage.
