Rangers will kick off their UEFA Europa League 2025/26 campaign when they host Belgian outfit Racing Genk in their season opener on Thursday.
The hosts will look to record back-to-back victories for the first time this season and start their European campaign on a high note. Russell Martin’s side is coming into this clash after beating Hibernian 2-0 in the Scottish League Cup quarterfinal match.
On the other side, Genk's season has been a season full of disappointment. They will be arriving at Ibrox after losing 1-2 to champions and league leaders Union Saint-Gilloise in the First Division. They have only been able to fetch two victories in their first eight outings.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
