What channel is Rangers v Genk? TV and live stream details for Europa League opener
How to watch Rangers v Genk
Rangers kick off their 2025/26 Europa League campaign when they welcome Belgian side Genk to Ibrox on Thursday night.
Russell Martin will hope to get off to a winning start in the competition as he looks to repair relations with a Rangers supporter base that wants him out.
The embattled head coach faced protests calling for him to be sacked before and during the 2-0 win over Hibs in the Premier Sports Cup on Saturday after overseeing the club’s worst start to a league season in 47 years and crashing out of the Champions League with a 9-1 aggregate defeat to Club Brugge.
A run of successive victories will be required to quell some of the anger that he been placed in Martin’s direction but he faces a difficult test against a Genk side who finished top of the Belgian table during the regular season last term, only to miss out on the title after collapsing in the championship round.
While Rangers dropped into the Europa League following their Champions League exit, Genk made it to the league phase courtesy of a 6-3 aggregate play-off round win over Lech Poznan. The visitors arrive in Glasgow having lost back-to-back home matches to Charleroi and Union Saint-Gilloise.
